00:00 <bitbasher> ah .. i cannot attach it

00:02 <bitbasher> i present this pastebin of the feedback i have from my first attempt https://bpa.st/262A

01:22 <kintel> ..or git submodule update --init --recursive

01:23 <kintel> Take a look at this, which is guaranteed to provide a working build, and compare the relevant parts with what you do: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/master/.github/workflows/windows.yml

05:16 <sparsh-n> Hi bitbasher, I've been working a bit more on Windows build, I'm also using Windows 11. I've made a branch with some modifications for getting it built (but it assumes most packages are installed using VCPKG). Its still work in progress, although I'm currently trying to get a headless debug build working first.

05:18 <sparsh-n> If you're looking to build it with MSYS2, I've actually found the wikibooks https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Building_on_Microsoft_Windows worked perfectly. You just need to run the commands all in the MSYS command line (typing MSYS2 MSYS should show this tool).

05:20 <sparsh-n> Still a work in progress, but here's my branch that's trying to get a vcpkg/msvc based build working. Currently have some small CMake errors but I'll post updates here if anything builds/any big issue pops up.

05:23 <sparsh-n> Forgot to mention but I also used the windows.yml workflow that kintel linked to help in figuring out building with QT6/QT5.

17:56 <kintel> pca006132 I have an interesting possible corner case for Manifold. My understanding is that Manifold now performs some kind of mesh optimization to reduce number of vertices/faces in planar regions, but sometimes I find good optimization candidates that seems to slip through, like this:

17:58 <kintel> Essentially, this is a cube with a rather complex internal objects, which was created by union together a lot of puzzle pieces (manifold convex decomposition)
