I cannot reproduce the issue here on Win10 and VS2019. @Slaih Please provide more information, otherwise I'll close this issue. Thanks!

I solved this issue by adding include directories to vs2022 project properties. Thanks your consideration.

Hi, I am also going through this issue, can you elaborate how you fixed it? @Slaih

Hello,

I actually gave up with setting uhd at windows because it is originally developed for linux

Unfortunately, I can not read the error message from the original problem description. I would recommend you follow the instructions in the KB 'Building and Installing the USRP Open Source Toolchain (UHD and GNU Radio) on Windows', even so the listed dependency versions are little outdated. Using these instructions, I was successful able to build UHD while using:

• Windows 10
• Visual Studio 2022
• cmake 3.28.1
• boost 1.83.0 (using the precompiled installer msvc-14.3-64.exe)
• libusb 1.0.22
• python 3.12.1
• doxygen 1.8.14
• (optionally) nsis 3.09.

Note:

• Enable the ENABLE_PYTHON_API box in the cmake_gui application to optionally also build the UHD python API
• To use the python API please see info in UHD Manual>>Installing the Python API.

If you run into problems when executing the outlined steps, either create a new issue or consider other available support options outlined at https://www.ettus.com/support/.

I was able to solve this issue. To revisit the original problem: @mkoop-ni . and to log for others who come across the same problem.

This error occurred because I used precompiled installer msvc-14.0-64.exe, when using Visual Studio 2022. Visual studio 2022 is only compatible with msvc-143.
