Having Trouble setting Outputpath for FrostyHash.vcxproj
I'm not entirely sure where to set the output path in the vcxproj due to it looking different to the cproj's and need some help figuring out how to set up the outputpaths for it so i can compile the dll
this is the error i am getting trying
MSBuild version 17.8.3+195e7f5a3 for .NET

i hope reading the vcxproj can help understand the issue and hope you can provide an example for how to set it

I'm not super familiar but does adding
<OutputPath>/build/<OutputPath> to <PropertyGroup Label="Globals"> fix it?
ofc you can fiddle with it and put it in the different conditionals and make different dirs for different configs but depends on your usecasetrying that gives me same error, and have tried adding stuff from csproj's but that ends up giving me the same error as a result
Oh wait a sec
Is it an issue with using
Debug instead of Developer - Debug as your configuration?I would asume since i had to download this from a github link and i thought all i had to do was compile to get the dll but most of the files including this one didn't have their outputpaths set and mainly just working off of trying to set the correct outputpath
sorry if i added on a bit there fairly new and asumed that these files had the paths set for compiling
Dw i've been doing c# for a while and this is a bit of a nasty one
Do you have a link to the repo?
You realize this is not a C# project right?
Might get better help on a C++ server

alright, and thanks hopefully they can help with this issue
