Build Or-tools v13 and v14

[j...@iconz.co.nz]

Hi

I am trying to compile Or-tools on Windows 11 as I include cplex. The following worked for v12.4550 and previous versions:

cmake -S . -B build -DBUILD_DEPS=ON -DBUILD_DOTNET=ON -USE_CPLEX -DUSE_CPLEX=ON -DCPLEX_ROOT="C:/Program Files/IBM/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio_Community2211"

cmake --build build --config Release  -j -v

This produced the nuget packages I required.

However, with both v13 and v14 I get the following error after the second cmake

      "G:\or-tools-9.13\build\ALL_BUILD.vcxproj" (default target) (1) ->
       "G:\or-tools-9.13\build\ortools\constraint_solver\csharp\dotnet_constraint_solver_RoutingSolverTests.vcxproj" (d
       efault target) (11) ->
       "G:\or-tools-9.13\build\dotnet_package.vcxproj" (default target) (23) ->
       "G:\or-tools-9.13\build\Dotnetortools_proto.vcxproj" (default target) (38) ->
       "G:\or-tools-9.13\build\ortools.vcxproj" (default target) (278) ->
       (Link target) ->
         LINK : fatal error LNK1189: library limit of 65535 objects exceeded [G:\or-tools-9.13\build\ortools.vcxproj]

    5167 Warning(s)
    1 Error(s)

Has anybody else experienced this, or do I have something incorrect in cmake?

Hi

I am continuing to try to compile or-tools on win11. I am using latest stable version (v9.14) and as on website (https://developers.google.com/optimization/install/dotnet/source_windows). I have specified to use VS 17 (I have both VS 17 & 18 installed) and dotnet6. cmake version is 4.2.1

I run cmake to configure the build:

cmake -S . -B build -DBUILD_DEPS=ON -DBUILD_DOTNET=ON -DUSE_DOTNET_6=ON -DUSE_DOTNET_8=OFF -G "Visual Studio 17 2022"

The first few  lines from the log are:

Then I build the source code:

cmake --build build --config Release -j -v

I then get a fatal error in linking

Just wondering what I am missing and how to solve this issue, please.
