Errors while building PHD2 in VC2022

[CaLIGHTs DSO Image Calibration Tool]

I am seeing an error when trying to build PHD2 V2.6.13 in VC2022. I have following the procedure on the PHD2/Wiki. I had previously build v2.6.12 in VS2013 without issue. I followed the steps. I downloaded the latest version of CMAKE and I was able to convert wxWidgets to VS2022. Here is the error messages...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I got everything compiling now.

I had to install Git...I installed Git v2.43.0

I also had to install Python...I installed Python v3.12.1

I also had to change the command line to cmake -G "Visual Studio 17" -A Win32 -DwxWidgets_PREFIX_DIRECTORY="C:\wxWidgets-3.0.5" ..

cmake complained about using   cmake -G "Visual Studio 17" -A Win32 -DwxWidgets_PREFIX_DIRECTORY=%WXWIN% ..

The error message I got was

CMake Error at thirdparty/thirdparty.cmake:532 (message):
  The variable wxWidgets_PREFIX_DIRECTORY should be defined and should point
  to a valid wxWindows installation path.  See the open-phd-guiding wiki for
  more information.

I don’t think there’s any need to change the command-line for cmake if you have correctly defined the WXWIN environment variable.  The run_cmake.bat file works fine.  When you modify an environment variable, you have to close and re-open any open command-line windows in order to refresh settings.

The WXWIN environment variable has been present on my computer since the beginning of November, 2023 when I set up VS2013 to build PHD2 V2.6.11. My laptop has been re-booted numerous times since then. At that time the command line worked fine. I have no idea why CMAKE complained when I was moving to VS2022.

As far as the procedure goes...it needs to be modified to include installing Git and Python. Git had a huge number of options to configure during the install...I used the defaults. The wxWidgets v3.0.5 version worked fine as did the updating it to VS2022. I did install a new version of CMAKE which is v3.28.1. It seems that this new version didn't like the command line.
