Error while compilation on Windows 11

[abhijeet-pandey]

I have followed the exact steps as given in BuildInstructions.txt. Unfortunately, I could not successfully build the source code and I am not sure what is wrong with the instructions. Here is the excerpt from the Spooles.2.2.log file:

Thanks for raising this issue. The build scripts and required source patches in this repo are not valid for versions greater than 2.10. Instead please use this repo:

https://github.com/calculix/CalculiX-Windows

There you will find all the required files to build versions 2.20 or greater. This includes pre-compiled native Windows versions including version 2.23.

thanks for your prompt response. I tried to run the script from the new repo link you have pointed to, and I get similar errors. I do not see any issues tab in the new repo, hence posting my observation here. Here is the excerpt from the log files. Spooles.log:

@abhijeet-pandey - please check which version of MinGW x64 GCC you are using. The build scripts are compatible with GCC 4.8.2, although I'm not sure if using a more recent version would cause the issue you are seeing. The build script patches the original sources with those in x64/patches, based on the CalculiX version you specify. Please check if the source files you are building contain these patches. If you just need a pre-compiled version, you can use one of the packages in the releases directory. Hope this helps.
