The problem lies in VS.  It fails to sometime recognize the order of compilation and it doesn't work in a parallel build environment (note that it does work for Makefiles).  Try as Bo suggests and manually specifying the build order.

Also, note that the SSE code path doesn't work at all for VS (at least the last time someone tried to use it).  It will compile, but it core dumps later on during execution.  VS's compiler is to blame for this.  Using ICC works around this issue.

There may be some magic to make VS compiler happy with the SSE code we wrote, but asking around with other heavy SSE users they all agreed that VS was broken for advanced SSE use and to use ICC.

Hi

 

Try manually build the Manta_Engine.vcproj project first. After this project builds successfully, then build the rest of the solution.

Hi all:
 
    I am wondering if anybody has successfully built Manta on a WinTel PC using VC version 9.0 (i.e., 2008).
 
    I got VC project files by running CMake, but the project failed to pass the link process with errors such as "Failed to open Manta_Engine.lib".
 
    CMakeLists.txt is supposed to support multiple platforms, whereas it turns out not to support WinTel+VC, from my experience. If it really does, what are the CMake settings?
 
    Thanks and regards.
