LNK1104: cannot open file libfftw3-3.lib

[Pommpy]

When I tried to run Mitsuba.sln in my VS, the link error occurred. But I only found libfftw3-3.ddl in my directory. How to generate .lib?

[Pommpy]

It couldn't generate .lib for /src/libcore, /src/libhw, /src/libbidir, /src/libpython, /src/librender as well. What's the possible reason?

[Pommpy]

I solve this problem by adding some libfftw3-3.lib generated by others. Now I can successfully run the project. Mitsuba really makes me painful.

Did you run the cmake command under VS Command Prompt(x64)? The generation of those .lib files requires VS support. Or you can try to download libfftw(https://fftw.org/pub/fftw/fftw-3.3.5-dll64.zip) manually, and follow README-WINDOWS to generate them.
