OpenRV [Bug]: Failed to build on windows 11

What happened?

I've followed all the recommendations from https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenRV/blob/main/docs/build_system/config_windows.md and tried to build OpenRV with the snippet below:


export QT_HOME=/d/Software/Dependencies/Qt/5.15.2/msvc2019_64
export WIN_PERL=/d/Software/Strawberry/perl/bin
. rvcmds.sh
rvbootstrap

But it fails with an error bellow. Any suggestions?

List all the operating systems versions where this is happening

Windows 10

On what computer hardware is this happening?

Hello @Andrej730,

I have never seen this "in triplet x64-windows: Unable to find a valid Visual Studio instance" error before.

It looks like you need to install the "Visual C++ tools for CMake" in the Visual Studio Installer. Note that you can go in the "Add Remove Program/Visual Studio Installer" and select the modify option to add the missing option. You don't have to reinstall the whole Visual Studio.

From: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75365556/error-in-triplet-x64-windows-unable-to-find-a-valid-visual-studio-instance-cou

FYI: These are the Visual Studio options I have installed: visual_studio_options_for_openrv

I hope this helps

I do have the same components, so this shouldn't cause the issue:

I've experimented a bit more and it seems to be the issue with this particular version of vcpkg 2023-11-16. Maybe it's related that I have visual studio installed not on system disk and it therefore vcpkg had problem recognizing it.

What helped is changing VCPKG_TOOL_RELEASE_TAG=2023-11-16 to VCPKG_TOOL_RELEASE_TAG=2024-03-14 in vcpkg-tool-metadata.txt then running vcpkg.exe install --triplet x64-windows stopped giving this error.

Haven't tried to rebuild the entire vcpkg yet. How can I bump vcpkg version for my build?

Switching from 2023.11.20 to 2024.03.19 in vcpkg.cmake helped to solve 2/3 errors, still has issue with RV_DEPS_BOOST.vcxproj.

Build and documentation has been improved and the main branch is using Qt 6.5.X now. Please re-open a ticket if there are other issues.
