I've followed the instructions at Build Widelands in Visual Studio, and have successfully built Widelands.

I can run the program and it apparently works (at least getting to the main menu). But when I look at the output (in Visual Studio) I see a bunch of errors. First, a bunch of:

Exception thrown at 0x00007FFE2412428C in widelands.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: LuaTableKeyError at memory location 0x000000F7E255E0B0.

Then I get one

Error 20 (this feature has not been implemented yet) in function AVolute::GetProductInfoT::<lambda_3920e95365a48b95dd51020986e9e351>::operator ()

A bunch more (a different memory location, for what it's worth)

Exception thrown at 0x00007FFE2412428C in widelands.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: LuaTableKeyError at memory location 0x000000F7E255D530.

When I exit, I get a bunch of

Exception thrown at 0x00007FFE2412428C in widelands.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: RT::EndOfTextImpl at memory location 0x000000F7E2553440.

I don't know if my environment is hosed, or what.

I cloned from master this morning (October 22). Widelands says Version 1.2~git25896 (19a9418@master) Debug

I'm using Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) current. Microsoft Visual C++ 2022

Has anyone tried recently to build/run using Visual Studio 2022? Any suggestions?

Hi RichHolton,

this is normal, because Visual Studio prints information about every thrown exception. However, these exceptions are intended and caught and handled during execution. For example in textstream.cc:

    try {
        rv = till_any(chars);
    } catch (EndOfTextImpl&) {
        rv = text_.substr(pos_, end_ - pos_);
        consume(end_ + 1 - pos_);
    }

You can investigate this in detail when you go to Debug->Windows->Exception Settings and enable break on all C++ Exceptions.
