Operating system: windows10  
Slicer version: latest version (5.0)  
Expected behavior: compile the “buildall” project  
Actual behavior:\*  
all the configuration according to " [Windows — 3D Slicer documentation](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/build_instructions/windows.html)"  
git version 2.36.0., cmake version 3.23.1, VS2022 V143

**when compile with ““C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe” --build . --config Debug”** it had the following error:

It seems that your computer had problems accessing github. Check your network (firewall, proxy, vpn, …) settings and try again. We build Slicer on Windows, Linux, and macOS and [there have been no build errors recently](https://slicer.cdash.org/index.php?project=SlicerPreview).

thanks Lassoan.  
I shut the proxy and the auto-detect opened

btw, I tried the git by cmd git clone [GitHub - commontk/DCMTK: WARNING: This is NOT the official upstream DCMTK git repository.](https://github.com/commontk/DCMTK.git) it works well but by ““C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe” --build . --config Debug” fail

I modified git protocol:  
git config –global url.”https://”.insteadOf git://  
and  
OpenSSL connecting proxy setting:  
git config --global http.proxy 127.0.0.1:1234  
git config --global https.proxy 127.0.0.1:1234  
they seem to be the solution of connection with github repository.

but i still have the “Project Completion Failure” in VS2022

it seems no solution/download link for this project

Are you connecting to the internet via a proxy server?

You then need to specify it for every Neutrogena access operations. It seems that you figured it out how to do it for git. You also need to specify the proxy server for Python"s pip. Setting the -`HTTP_PROXY=<proxyserver_name>:<port#>` environment variable may be sufficient.

Thanks, I am trying to do with your instruction as below hope it is right…

but still the python has project failed in building （but i find the executable(.exe) application of Slicer in the folder）. So I am thinking do the python- affixed projects need to be built? As I saw when building : `No download step for 'python-wheel' No update step for 'python-wheel' `

Python’s package manager and pip tool is not related to CMake. You need to set HTTP\_PROXY/HTTPS\_PROXY as environment variable in your operating system.

Thanks Lassoan,  
There is still a little error (MSB8066) about `python-setuptools` project;  
Locate in the file: ` <CustomBuild Condition ="'@(_CustomBuild)' != ''"`

I tried to build specific error project, this is the error with `python`project

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/slicer/original/3X/0/9/09948d1d159e3fc4122bf0734c003d7e12feea89.png)

I locate to the folder `C:\D\S4R\CMakeFiles\b971bae278932486b6f223c6e29c96a3`  
and I find the XXX.rule file writes `# generated from CMake` but nothing.

I sometimes solve this errors by rebuilding the whole project again from zero

Check out the [“Common errors” section of the build instructions](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/build_instructions/windows.html#errors-related-to-python) to see how to solve Python related build errors.
