VS2019 cpp_bindgen_generator compilation error

[WilcoBT]

Hallo,

I am trying this tool to generate a C interface for our C++ project. I followed the manual and added this to the makefile:

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
cpp_bindgen
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/GridTools/cpp_bindgen.git
GIT_TAG master # consider replacing master by a tagged version
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(cpp_bindgen)
bindgen_add_library(${ADMESYTITANAPI_LIB_NAME}_C SOURCES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/titan/admesy_titan_api.cpp)

That results in a bunch of projects in VS, but I get a lot of errors when trying to build cpp_bindgen_generator:

How can i get rid of this such that I can try the generating?

Hi @WilcoBT, I am very sorry, I completely missed this issue. Unfortunately, this library currently doesn't support visual studio. I also don't have the environment to reproduce it. However we would happily take contributions to make this library compatible with visual studio.

hello @WilcoBT It seems that you are currently working on software related to the Admesy Atlas. I'm also deeply interested in this. Unfortunately, I can no longer find the relevant drivers and the official GUI for this device. I was wondering if you happen to have the software I'm seeking? I would greatly appreciate your assistance. If necessary, I'm willing to provide compensation for your help. Please contact me at lumiamax@live.cn.
