General Question Orbiter/CMake with Visual Studio 2019 16.11.2

[martins]

Just wanted to ask if anybody has tried the latest update to VS 2019 yet in combination with Orbiter/CMake. After reports that the previous update (16.11.1) broke CMake cache generation, I've held off updating my VS installation. According to the release notes, 16.11.2 addresses that problem. Before risking the upgrade to this version, I wanted to make sure that the problem is fixed and that Orbiter can be built with the built-in CMake/Ninja configuration.

I can test this tomorrow, I should have the latest version already installed here.

I upgraded to the very latest VS 2019 build (Version 16.11.2), which is one patch newer than the one that broke CMake for me, and it looks like it's working again! Here is what I did:

1. Opened Orbiter folder in VS 2019.
2. After Ninja finished reading the makefiles (and this was where the previous VS patch hung for me), clicked Project -> Configure Orbiter.
3. Selected x64-Debug config
4. Build -> Rebuild All

The build finished successfully, and the install files were copied to out\build\x64-Debug. So it appears the latest Ninja version is working! ?

16.11.2 works for me without issues for me, I've even managed to start compiling Orbiter under Linux (failing now, obviously)

O-F Staff Note: discussion about compiling under Linux moved to a new, dedicated thread here. Please feel free to continue the discussion there.
