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? ```auto Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error C2039 'max': is not a member of 'std' [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 425 Error C2039 'max': is not a member of 'std' [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 328 Error C2065 'max': undeclared identifier [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 328 Error C2275 'vtkIdType': illegal use of this type as an expression [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 328 Error C2039 'min': is not a member of 'std' [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 328 Error C2065 'min': undeclared identifier [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 328 Error C2275 'vtkIdType': illegal use of this type as an expression [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 328 Error C2039 'max': is not a member of 'std' [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 331 Error C2065 'max': undeclared identifier [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 331 Error C2275 'vtkIdType': illegal use of this type as an expression [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 331 Error C2065 'max': undeclared identifier [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 425 Error C2275 'vtkIdType': illegal use of this type as an expression [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 425 Error C2039 'min': is not a member of 'std' [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 425 Error C2065 'min': undeclared identifier [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 425 Error C2275 'vtkIdType': illegal use of this type as an expression [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 425 Error C2039 'max': is not a member of 'std' [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 426 Error C2065 'max': undeclared identifier [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 426 Error C2275 'vtkIdType': illegal use of this type as an expression [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 426 Error C2039 'max': is not a member of 'std' [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 491 Error C2065 'max': undeclared identifier [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 491 Error C2275 'vtkIdType': illegal use of this type as an expression [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 491 Error C2039 'min': is not a member of 'std' [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 491 Error C2065 'min': undeclared identifier [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 491 Error C2275 'vtkIdType': illegal use of this type as an expression [C:\S_B\VTK-build\Common\DataModel\CommonDataModel-objects.vcxproj] VTK C:\S_B\VTK\Common\DataModel\vtkTable.cxx 491 Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:\S_B\VTK-build\lib\Debug\vtkViewsInfovis-9.1d.lib' [C:\S_B\CTK-build\CTK-build\Libs\Visualization\VTK\Core\CTKVisualizationVTKCore.vcxproj] [C:\S_B\CTK-build\CTK.vcxproj] CTK C:\S_B\LINK 1 Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:\S_B\VTK-build\lib\Debug\vtkViewsQt-9.1d.lib' [C:\S_B\Slicer-build\Libs\vtkAddon\vtkAddon.vcxproj] Slicer C:\S_B\LINK 1 Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:\S_B\VTK-build\lib\Debug\vtkViewsQt-9.1d.lib' [C:\S_B\Slicer-build\Libs\vtkITK\vtkITK.vcxproj] Slicer C:\S_B\LINK 1 Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:\S_B\VTK-build\lib\Debug\vtkViewsQt-9.1d.lib' [C:\S_B\Slicer-build\Libs\vtkSegmentationCore\vtkSegmentationCore.vcxproj] Slicer C:\S_B\LINK 1 Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:\S_B\VTK-build\lib\Debug\vtkViewsQt-9.1d.lib' [C:\S_B\Slicer-build\Libs\vtkTeem\vtkTeem.vcxproj] Slicer C:\S_B\LINK 1 ``` ---

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!
