Hello, I want to build the casparcg server from the source code. I am following this instruction “[server/BUILDING.md at master · CasparCG/server · GitHub](https://github.com/CasparCG/server/blob/master/BUILDING.md)”. My visual studio version is Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.11.1 ## Development using Visual Studio 1. Install Visual Studio 2022. 2. Install CMake ([Download CMake](http://www.cmake.org/download/)). 3. `git clone --single-branch --branch master https://github.com/CasparCG/server casparcg-server-master` 4. `cd casparcg-server-master` 5. `mkdir build` 6. `cd build` 7. `cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 ../src` 8. Open `CasparCG Server.sln` I successfully build the CasparCG Server.sln ![Git_bulding](https://casparcgforum.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/91343da1991b3368f605e2b4d75c3840e1dffba6.png) I don’t know what is the next steps.

I have added a new section to the building guide, on how to make a distributable zip, instead of the development flow you are following. And the build error you are seeing is also fixed, although wouldn’t happen with the newly documented flow. ---

Sorry, I meant to include that [server/BUILDING.md at master · CasparCG/server · GitHub](https://github.com/CasparCG/server/blob/master/BUILDING.md#building-distributable). The heading ‘Building distributable’ ---

Thanks a lot for the building guide. I tried to build a following the instructions. I didn’t install Cmake separately, It was already installed with my VisualStudio 2022 Ent. ![Cmake](https://casparcgforum.org/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5eacac9e82dd418c9cf6736e2f15d8d801bc1667.png) I successfully cloned the git. ![Clone_Success](https://casparcgforum.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9e7f3a3b5d4b074051eea73ca9d204a92f60dbf1.png) Still getting errors while building. ![Error-While-bulding](https://casparcgforum.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/31220fa7b657b686c173daa951271b2dea7fc9bf.png) Is there any additional requirement? ---

ah, that build script is assuming that it should be using visual studio community (except when running in github actions). You will need to edit this line [server/tools/windows/build.bat at 8ffe90740f3831c793df21f48952a0aa17d45973 · CasparCG/server · GitHub](https://github.com/CasparCG/server/blob/8ffe90740f3831c793df21f48952a0aa17d45973/tools/windows/build.bat#L4) in your local copy of that file, replacing the `Community` with `Enterprise`. Hopefully that will be enough to make it happy, I don’t have access to visual studio enterprise, so can’t test this myself ---

I tried another PC with Visual Studio 2022 Community It runs the script But at the end, there is an error. The system cannot find the path specified. ![Path_not_found](https://casparcgforum.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/467f4dbaf5705e95a4a3915b0aa78e5338ed969f.png) However, I checked the log and found casparcg.exe compiled. ![Comailed](https://casparcgforum.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4e34fb0d0179ac0bf11186be40000ff0beeed3e3.png) I go to the directory and run casparcg.exe wow, it’s run. ![image](https://casparcgforum.org/uploads/default/original/2X/e/ef83925420c6e865d9d5987f8379a89aabfa7056.jpeg) why getting this error? The system cannot find the path specified. You previously told me to change a line, but I am unable to find the exact line that needs to be changed. Finally, it’s ok. I delete everything from the directory and start all processes again. ![Everything_ok](https://casparcgforum.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/41383a4d4858fbca0395b4a7c83b03e0a05da74c.png) Now able to build with Visual Studio 2022 Ent Just edit the batch file on this line. ![Vs_2022_Ent_Ok](https://casparcgforum.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/369b5ae701be861df27d887d96892a8afe9b41bb.png) set BUILD\_VCVARSALL=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat Again Thanks a lot for helping. ---

I forgot to add to those steps that you need to install 7-zip for it to be able to make the zip file [https://www.7-zip.org/](https://www.7-zip.org/) Or you can zip the `dist/casparcg_server` folder yourself
