MSB8020: cmake fails to configure for MSVC 17 2022

[src-r-r]

Operating Systems

Server: Windows 11
Client: Irrelevant / Windows 11

Synergy Version

Irrelevant, but using the synergy-core master branch

Steps to Reproduce

Follow the compile instructions for windows.

One thing to note is that for Step 2: Install Visual Studio Community 2019 with Updates gets kind of tricky. If you open the installer, you can only download MSVC 2022.

Extra Info

Here's the Cmake command I'm using in Qt Creator:

-G Visual Studio 17 2022
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug
-DCMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE_BEFORE:PATH=%{IDE:ResourcePath}/package-manager/auto-setup.cmake
-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:STRING=%{Qt:qmakeExecutable}
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:STRING=%{Qt:QT_INSTALL_PREFIX}
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:STRING=%{Compiler:Executable:C}
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=%{Compiler:Executable:Cxx}
-DLIB_EAY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=C:/Program Files (x86)/OpenSSL-Win32/lib/VC/libcrypto32MDd.lib
-DSSL_EAY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=C:/Program Files (x86)/OpenSSL-Win32/lib/VC/libcrypto32MDd.lib
-DSSL_EAY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=C:/Program Files (x86)/OpenSSL-Win32/lib/VC/libcrypto32MDd.lib

I'm able to successfully compile Synergy using -G Ninja, but the problem here is that I can't do any debugging. I also tried using the CLI installation method and get the same error.

And, yes, I've checked multiple times that I have everything v143 C++ related installed.

Is it because MSVC installs in Program Files instead of Program Files (x86) like MSVC 2019 did?

Help is appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for reporting this, could you try the latest master to see if this is still an issue?
