Errors in Windows build of preview version

Development
1

I’m getting the following VTK-related errors while trying to build the Preview version of Slicer for Windows 10. I just updated to CMake 3.23.0-rc2, although I believe this should be fine?

I’m not able to find the lib file that can’t be opened: “vtkViewsQt-9.1d.lib”. Any advice on how to resolve this?

This issue was resolved when I updated from Visual Studio 2019 to 2022.

Have you rebuilt entire Slicer (the top-level build, including VTK, ITK, etc.) from scratch after updating CMake?

I use CMake-3.22.0, Slicer factory computers use CMake-3.22.1, so these versions should work. Regressions in CMake are quite common, so in general I would recommend to use well-proven versions and not experiment with release candidates (unless there is a fix that you need and it is only available in the most recent version).

Yes, I rebuilt from scratch after the CMake update, so I’m not sure what resolved the issue.

I’ll stick to a more stable CMake version going forward, thanks!
