Having trouble building the project about freeimage HOT 8 CLOSED

Maybe you installed jpeg62.dll using vcpkg or something like that?
If so, you may be able to build successfully by disabling vcpkg in the project properties window such as libjpeg.

How do you build FreeImage?
If you have Visual Studio, please build using FreeImage.vs2022.sln, FreeImage.vs2019.sln, etc.

Hi I used VS 2022 FreeImage.vs2022.sln used the mentioned method. The message I am mentioning happens on it from the master branch. The FreeImage module is selected (by default) and I am trying to build it.

from freeimage.

I downloaded the current master version of the repo. I opened the VS2022 sln and built 'FreeImage' and 'FreeImageLib' with VS 17.8.3, debug and release in 64bit. No problems at all. Perhaps a broken file in your download? or some weird configurations in VS?

I tried again taking a fresh clone from github and selecting 2022 and building it the 5 errors and a lot of warnings is still persistent.
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State

Unsure why this is happening. Worked once on my system however started failing in consecutive builds. Now I am not a C++ expert so maybe unable to pinpoint this but this is a persistent problem post the first build. My system is 64 bit as well. I re-verified if that was the case.

EDIT:- Build works with x86 selected both release and debug is working...

Did you try to delete the folder with all temporary intermediate compiling data, so that VS is really doing a fresh new build? Sometimes this helps.

Uh not sure what is happening but I think I will stop my effort here. These 5 errors are recurring. x86 build works seamlessly but x64 somehow is failing every time. My use-case is covered since it will be cross compatible hopefully. So I don't mind the x86 build.

Omg yes that was causing the conflict. I just deleted the local packages and it created the thing. Thanks a lot.
