Build OpenRadioss with Visual Studio in Windows

[xujiangping]

Hello, I am encountering an error when building OpenRadioss with Visual Studio in Windows (Windows 10, Visual studio 2022, oneAPI 2023.1):
Variable CMAKE_ C_ COMPILER defined multiple times
Variable CMAKE_ CXX_ COMPILER defined multiple times
There two errors repeated six times due to the six configurations (Starter_x64-Debug,Starter_x64-Release, etc..) in the output list of Visual studio IDE.
The CMakeLists and CMakeSettings are attached.
Thank you very much in advance!
CMakeLists.txt
CMakeSettings.txt

Hi
Those variables are set in the CMakeSettings.json file to force compiler to use Intel OneAPI (C& C++)
Visual Studio tries to set its own. This is why it is set twice.

Those errors do not prevent the compilation. You can ignore those & proceed with build.

Thank you! The errors mentioned above are obtained from the building process in Visual studio. So how to ignore those errors. Could you give some details? The steps that I am following are given below:
1 install Visual Studio Community 2022, one API Base Toolkit 2023.1 and one API HPC Toolkit 2023.1;
2 Install Git and git clone the source.
3 Launch Visual Studio and Visual Studio starts and read the configuration files CMakeLists.txt and CMakeSettings.json.
4 Select build configuration in the Configuration menu, Choose the wanted configuration from Starter/Engine release and debug configuration.
5 Launch in Menu : [Build][Build All] . Then got the errors.

In outpu you should see (here Starter Build)

But the errors you mentioned are present :

The first figure is different form mine and the second is the same. The captured screen is attached and output information of build is given below:

Thank You for the screenshot. This was helpfull...

The build procedure is using Python. There is an error message of missing Python. You can modify your VS Installation and install the python from there. Otherwise you can install one from Microsoft Store as written in the message.

Great！Solved by following your suggestion. Should be noted that the package "Intel distribution for Python" must be downloaded separately since it is not included in one API Base Toolkit. Thanks for your help!
