I've build this before, but having trouble with even the first few steps succeeding at the moment. The first steps are pretty straight-forward, so not really prone to error.
1) Get (Git) the source code
Done. All files pulled successfully to \Source folder.
2) Add build folder in root of Source.
Done. Durrrr.
3) Add x86 dependencies to the dependencies folder.
Done. Pulled latest referenced copy.
4) Install and launch CMake-gui.
Done. Latest version is 3.10.1.
5) Set source folder.
Done. Set to C:/Users/xxx/Temp/EQ/Source
6) Set build folder.
Done. C:/Users/xxx/Temp/EQ/Source/Build
7) Click Configure.
Done. Selected Visual Studio 15 2017. I have full Enterprise version installed because I use it daily for work. No special configuration at all beyond show line numbers in all file types.
8 ) Click Finish.
Kaboom. Whole list turns red. Dialog "Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid". Clicking this repeatedly changes nothing.
Any ideas? I did this process a few years ago with no issues. Also not at all new to programming. Little confused since there's little room for error here.
SIDE NOTE: My goal is to compile this eventually as x64. That is possible using the x64 dependencies and x64 ActivePerl, right?
