Build of the Python extension fails: Expression did not evaluate to a known generator expression about f3d HOT 6 CLOSED

Indeed, F3D_MULTI_CONFIG_GENERATOR is not valid when building the python bindings externally.
I'll fix it before the next release.
A workaround for now could be to add -DF3D_MULTI_CONFIG_GENERATOR:BOOL=OFF in the configuration command.

Adding -DF3D_MULTI_CONFIG_GENERATOR:BOOL=OFF didn't fix the problem for me for some reason.

That's surprising 🤔

Can you try to change line 24 from

set(f3d_module_dir "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}$<${F3D_MULTI_CONFIG_GENERATOR}:/$<CONFIG>>/${f3d_python_package_name}")

to

set(f3d_module_dir "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${f3d_python_package_name}")

Let me know if it's working.

This replacement fixed the problem.

Great. I'll fix this issue in the upcoming release.

The fix is done and will be merged soon (#1150). There are more changes to make in the CMake file in case you want to patch it.
Please note we are currently in a release phase and the 2.3 version will be out very soon with this fix included.
