Unable to build with VS2022

[thomasreiser]

I am using the latest version of VS2022 and BGFX running on Windows 11.

My steps to build:

cd bgfx
..\bx\tools\bin\windows\genie vs2022
msbuild .build\projects\vs2022\bgfx.sln`

I then receive a lot of errors like

C:\....\bgfx\src\bgfx_p.h(956,49): error C2131: expression did not evaluate to a constant [C:\....\bgfx\.build\projects\vs2022\bgfx.vcxproj]
C:\....\bgfx\src\bgfx_p.h(956,49): error C2131:    constexpr uint8_t  kSortKeyViewNumBits         = 31 - bx::uint32_cntlz(BGFX_CONFIG_MAX_VIEWS); [C:\....\bgfx\.build\projects\vs2022\bgfx.vcxproj]
C:\....\bgfx\src\bgfx_p.h(956,49): error C2131:                                                   ^ (compiling source file ..\..\..\src\bgfx.cpp) [C:\...\bgfx\.build\projects\vs2022\bgfx.vcxproj]

Am i doing something wrong?

Did you run genie from the Developer Command Prompt?

Yepp. The same errors occur when I open bgfx.sln with the Visual Studio GUI:

All errors are within bgfx_p.h

Try updating your copy of bgfx. This seems to be an issue that got fixed a few weeks back: 8e7774f

I just built bgfx with 2022 - x64, v143, using CMakeGUI. I did get some warnings here and there, and several errors with some of the examples, but the primary solutions compiled with no issues.
