Hello,

I have been attempting to build the latest version of Slicer over the past few days, but I encountered a failure when trying to build CTK. And here is the error log what I received.

CMake = 3.28.1
Visual studio = 2022 , toolset v143
QT = 5.15.2
OS = WIindows 11 pro 23H2

It seems like the issue might be related to cp949 Unicode encoding problems on generated cpp file.

I haven’t made any changes to the code; I simply cloned the main branch from the Slicer Git repository and followed the build instructions, but this error occurred. I’m wondering if there is a solution to this issue.

Thank you.

Good catch! This is due to an unlucky coincidence of some recently added CTK files containing a BOM, recently modified Python wrapping code not being robust enough for different encodings, and you using a computer that has system code page set to Korean (cp949). If you change your system code page or any of the two other issues are fixed then you’ll be able to build successfully.

@jcfr, please have a look at:

@Davide_Punzo, could you please fix these files (and maybe disable automatic adding of BOM in your text editor):

Sure! Tomorrow morning I will open a PR!

After changing the system locale to UTF-8 Beta in Windows and rebuilding the project, it succeeded.
By going into the Control Panel’s system locale settings and selecting ‘Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support,’ I was able to solve this issue.

Thank you!
