Hello,
I have updated VS 19 yesterday. And now compiling Blender from scratch brings lots of warnings in the console. external:w3 overwritten by external:w0. Over thousand warnings of this style.The warnings do not harm. But obviously something has changed with the VS update which might need a fix.

Kind regards
Arunderan

It’s a compatibility issue between cmake and VS19.10+, i send a fix for it yesterday, should be fixed in cmake 3.20.4 if you want a fix sooner, the nightly cmake builds starting may 29 should have it.

Ah it is known already. I can wait. I just wanted to make sure you are aware of the problem. Many thanks for the fix :slight_smile:
