[SOLVED] Failed to build on Windows

[PengYu]

Hi, guys.
I’ve successfully configure and generate sofa on Windows 10, VS 2017. But when I tried to build the project. The errors shown as below:

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error	MSB3191	Unable to create directory "D:\sofa\build\v19.12\bin\Release\". Cannot create "D:\sofa\build\v19.12\bin\Release" because a file or directory with the same name already exists.	gtest	C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets	405	

I figure that one Release file was already generated before build. Thus, when vs 2017 try to create a Release directory under the same path, the errors occur.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you!

Hi @rainvector

I think this was solved here.

NB: it has recently been decided that a new stable branch would now derive from the last stable release (v20.06) and include all fixes and patches, in order for you to work in best conditions. Stay tuned.

Best
