Build ORE-SWIG with VS 2019 Issues

[StephenYZhang]

Hi everyone, I was building ORE-SWIG with VS 2019 following the User Guide:

mkdir builddir
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"
-A x64
-D SWIG_DIR=C:\dev\swigwin\Lib
-D SWIG_EXECUTABLE=C:\dev\swigwin\swig.exe
-D ORE:PATHNAME=C:\dev\ORE\master
-D BOOST_ROOT=C:\dev\boost
-S OREAnalytics-SWIG/Python
-B builddir
cmake --build builddir -v

3 error messages were generated: may I ask for your help? How to slove this problem?

"E:\Dev\xVAs\ORE-SWIG\builddir\ALL_BUILD.vcxproj" (default target) (1) ->
"E:\Dev\xVAs\ORE-SWIG\builddir_OREAnalytics.vcxproj" (default target) (3) ->

Thanks.

I used boost_1_76_0 and swigwin-4.0.2

And I just tried an eariler SWIG 3.0.12. It generated the same error message.

Hello Stephen,

Did you manage to solve this issue? I am facing the exact same one using VS2019 as well.

Best regards,
