About VS2019 version compiling Falcor3.2 error problem #16
Description
You may encounter the problem of "Cannot find Falcor.lib" during the process of generating the solution. This is because when compiling the Falcor project, there will be an error: "C1189 #error: The <experimental/filesystem> header providingstd: "experimental::filesystem is deprecated by Microsoft and will be REMOVED. It is superseded by the C++17 header providing std::filesystem. You can define _SILENCE_EXPERIMENTAL_FILESYSTEM_DEPRECATION_WARNING to acknowledge that you have received this warning. (Compile source file Experimental\RenderGraph\RenderGraphUI.cpp) Falcor D:\VS2019\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\include\experimental\filesystem 30"and "C4244 "Parameter": Convert from "wchar_t" to "const _Elem", may lose data FalcorD:\VS2019\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\include\xstring 2575" error warning".
The solution to the first problem above: you need to add in the include item: _SILENCE_EXPERIMENTAL_FILESYSTEM_DEPRECATION_WARNING to Preprocessor definitions.
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions.
The second question: In the project that contains warnings, right-click Properties-C/C++-General-Treat warnings as errors-change to "No".
After the Falcor solution is modified by the above method, it can be compiled. For the second question, I don't know if there is any problem with this modification.
