Failing to compile capnproto under visual studio 2019

Question

I am following the instructions from the link below for compiling capnproto under visual studio 2019. https://capnproto.org/install.html

When I try to build the solution "ALL_BUILD" in step 6, it fails. The first error that I see in the log is that it cannot find the file "win32-api-version.h" from kj/debug.c++

Is there some project setting that i am missing?

Answer 1

This looks like a bug in Cap'n Proto's 0.10.0 release, which just went out a few days ago. This file was not included in the release package. CI didn't catch it because CI runs directly from git. Ugh.

I will try to build a 0.10.1 release today.

EDIT: 0.10.1 is now released, fixing this issue. Get it here: https://capnproto.org/install.html
