of generating NINJA build files...

============
It works with the MVSC 2019 generator, but I have no idea why it
wont generate the NINJA build files. I tried running it from the
VS Developer Command prompt, and that doesnt work either,
different error messages, and looks like it might be trying to
link to x86 libs instead of x64, but cant seem to figure out how
to change that.
disclaimer: total newbie on CMAKE, build scripts, etc...

Any ideas?I guess you're using a prebuilt LLVM but a non-matching Visual C++ version. Our prebuilt LLVM is built with VS 2022 and clang 15. As stated in https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_and_hacking_LDC_on_Windows_using MSVC#Building_LLVM, you'll need to build LLVM yourself in such a case.

It gave odd error messages if I forgot to do that. I did it on a fresh install of windows 10, with a fresh install of VS2017, I literally tried to replicate everything listed in the instructions. IIRC The only thing I had to do extra was passing "-DD_COMPILER=c:\path\to\ldmd2.exe." to ninja, it's listed in the section "Building LDC" but doesn't really tell you why you might need it. I'm not 100% sure that's all there was to it but if you can't get it to work I can always have a run at it again and keep notes of exactly how I got it to work.On Monday, 21 August 2023 at 08:15:16 UTC, kinke wrote:You might be the only individual in the universe who have made it.
