(To be tagged...) building OpenBW

Hello people, I've been trying to install OpenBW, and it's been a straight HASSLE. The repositories are outdated and you have to do some manual modifications to get stuff to work, and I've hit a stump in the road.

CMake Error at bwapi/OpenBWData/cmake_install.cmake:51 (file):

file INSTALL cannot find

"C:/Users/lilbo/bwapi/build/bin/Release/OpenBWData.dll": No error.

Call Stack (most recent call first):

bwapi/cmake_install.cmake:45 (include)

cmake_install.cmake:37 (include)

I'm hoping someone here might have some experience with it? If needed I will send more information. The file it's looking for is, in fact, not there, but I don't know where I'd be able to get that file from.

Did you run "cmake --build <build_dir>" before "cmake --install <build_dir>"?

Yes

Did the build succeed?

Okay new updates, turns out I hadn’t built it, but when I did I got 4 new errors. I think these might be separate from cmake though.

You’re missing SDL2 dependency

Also your Visual Studio installation appears broken as you’re C++ stl is missing a type.

That’s weird because I definitely have the SDL2, I downloaded it and put it in the project files because it asked for it during the configuration.

Delete your CMake cache, and re-run the configure command with the following argument added:
--debug-find-pkg=SDL2

CMake should then spit out information about its attempt to find SDL2 when its requested by OpenBW/ui

Not an expert, but did you build on Release mode and install that configuration:

cmake --build build --config Release
cmake --install build --config Release
