In Copperspice it appears that both the application and copperspice libraries have to both be Release or Debug mode. Yes, both CS and your application need to be in the same mode. Typically this is not an issue since debug builds are not distributed. I assume this is because it uses the Ninja . . ....

So probably, I must change the CMakeLists.txt We would strongly advise against changing our CS build files since they are working. In our CI we have tested the steps we did and they work. I am not sure at this time what step is causing you a problem. Let me offer you an alternative for building Cop...

Please understand that MSVC and VS are a fully supported platform and has been for over 7 years. We have a lot of users on this platform and we can assure you it works. There is no issue with how MSVC sets up the project and then builds. It will "build" in the folder as you showed in your ...

I set the environment variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to "C:\CSP\out\build\x64-Debug\lib". There are two problems here. (1) You should not be specifying a folder inside of your source directory. You need to tell CMake where to install, which should be a clean folder. (2) This variable shoul...

I have set "YOUR_INSTALL_PATH" to C:\CSP where the cmakelists.txt is, is this correct? I would like to back up and add a bit of CMake information. CopperSpice is built out-of-tree, which is a very common practice. This is the only way VS will actually build a CMake project. There are thre...

Peter, 1) Although you mentioned using Visual Studio 2022, you are probably using the MSVC compiler with the Visual Studio IDE. This is supported however our CI server uses Visual Studio 2019. The binary files we released for MSVC are fully tested. For the complete list of our supported platforms yo...

Prabhupada.h and files QPrabhupada.cpp they work very well when built locally, but the PrabhupadaDictionary application is not built from the Prabhupada library. That's the problem. The terminology "building locally" means to build on your computer. It is not clear what you mean by it wor...

We have a few suggestions based on many years of programming experience. Keep in mind, the following are based on our opinion and other developers may offer you ideas you prefer. 1) Naming things like classes, variables, and even libraries is not simple and in fact can be really hard. If you are rel...

MSVC 2022 (compiling 2019 project 1 Are you trying to build CopperSpice with MSVC 2022 and your application with MSVC 2019? 2 As a side note, MSVC needs everything built in either debug or release. Mixing the two does not always work as expected. warning C5030: attribute 'gnu::used' is not recogniz...
