Build error: C1083

[guru245]

Hi all,

I'm having a trouble in building lzma. I solved a part of it, but one issue remains. The issue must be resolved and the build instruction should be updated.

According to Build instruction for VS 2017, I followed the following instruction.

git clone https://github.com/telegramdesktop/lzma.git
cd lzma\C\Util\LzmaLib
msbuild LzmaLib.sln /property:Configuration=Debug
msbuild LzmaLib.sln /property:Configuration=Release

I get an error.

The main error is error MSB8036: The Windows SDK version 10.0.16299.0 was not found This was easy to resolve. As you see the screenshot below, the git was set to 10.0.16299.0, which is not the latest. I changed it to 10.0.17134.0 as per my environment.

I rebuilt and faced another error.

Build FAILED.
