CMake errors installing RTSDK 2.2.1.L1 for Visual Studio 2022

SrcCoder

Hi, I'm having issues installing RTSDK2.2.1.L1 for Visual Studio 2022. Having rebuilt my PC recently, I had the following installed before attempting to install this devkit:

• Windows 11 Pro x64 (All the latest updates applied)
• Python 3.12.5
• Github desktop 3.4.3
• Cmake 3.30.3
• Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 (v16.11.39) – Full install and updates applied.
• Visual Studio Enterprise 2022 (v17.11.2) – Full install and updates applied.

In summary here's what I did to instal rtsdk:

1. Unpacked RTSDK in a local folder “C:\devkits\RTSDK-2.2.1.L1.win.rrg” and also unpacked the RTSDK binary pack within this directory.
2. I first ran cmake to install the devkit for VS2019 which all worked fine (using the command line “cmake -HC:\devkits\RTSDK-2.2.1.L1.win.rrg -BVisualStudio2019 -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64”)
3. Next I tried to do the same for VS2022 using “cmake -HC:\devkits\RTSDK-2.2.1.L1.win.rrg -BVisualStudio2022 -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64”
4. In the above case, cmake fails to complete. Please see the attached text file for the output from cmake showing the errors.

Any help with this is much appreciated.

Note, I was able to manually create the projects and solution files in VS2022 and get the RTSDK samples to run but nonetheless it would good to get these errors with cmake fixed!

Thanks

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I could replicate this issue and found that the CMake script doesn't support the new versions of MSVC used in VS2022.

I could solve the issue by modifying the rcdevSystemInfo.cmake file.

I changed the version number in "MSVC_VERSION LESS_EQUAL 1939" to 1940 or 1941. For example:

I also raised this issue to the product team via GitHub to investigate this problem.

Thanks @Jirapongse!

In my case I had to set it to 1941 in "RTSDK-2.2.1.L1.win.rrg\CMake\rcdevSystemInfo.cmake" to get it to build properly. It's all working fine now.

As an aside, please also take a look at the recommendations made for compiler settings in the following page (URL below) which appear to need some updates. Specifically, the include paths and the addition of the required preprocessor definitions.

Thanks again for you help!
