hi,

I build kcompute 0.8.1 using cmake(GUI), but an error occurred, the following is the ouput :

The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.34.31937.0
The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 19.34.31937.0

CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:87 (find_package):
By not providing "Findfmt.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "fmt", but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "fmt" with any of
the following names:

fmtConfig.cmake
fmt-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "fmt" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "fmt_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "fmt" provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

After installing fmtlib, and setting "fmt_DIR" , cmake configures with no error, but, there were some building errors:

1. kompute-0.8.1\src\Algorithm.cpp(307,27): error C2440: Cannot convert vk::ResultValuevk::Pipeline to vk::Pipeline
2. fmt/core.h(1728,7): error C2338: static_assert failed: 'Cannot format an argument. To make type T formattable provide a formatter specialization: https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#udt'

anyone has a hint to fix these errors?

Hi ,
it seems this #201 address your problem

[0106WeiWeiDeng]

Thanks, I download the code of master branch (not 0.8.1), and configure it with default cmake options, build successfully:

1. download the zip file of the master branch, unzip it, and open PowerShell in kompute-master diretory
2. mkdir build
3. cmake ..
4. cmake --build . --config Release --clean-first
5. cmake --install . # errors occur after runing this command, but removing some cmake code(two install files not exist), it run successfully

at last, build/install diretory contains the installed files.
