vscode cmake move from visual studio 17 to 19 - visual-studio-code

I have been using vscode with the cmake integration for visual studio community edition 2017. I'm only using visual studio integration to vscode, not the IDE. I just moved to Vstudio 19. Now cmake is failing because I cannot get it to recognize that it should use the new visual studio. See error output below.
What is really interesting is that it's using the correct cmake.exe from the VS19 folder, but the parameter it uses is "-G "Visual Studio 15 2017" that is causing the problem. I removed the c_cpp_properties.json file (then CMake: Clean/Rebuild) in my .vscode folder which had a reference to VS17 and that didn't help.
I've tried to remove all the extensions (C/C++ Extension Pack), checked every folder/file in my projects for references to that VS 17. Removed the build folder and CMake: Clean/Rebuild after reinstalling the extensions..

Any ideas where else that -G setting might be coming from?

Looked for 24 hours, posted a question, then solved in in the first five minutes.
I removed the file.
C:\Users\wood\AppData\Local\CMakeTools\cmake-tools-kits.json
Well, just renamed it.
Uninstalled the C/C++ extension pack, then re-installed the extension pack. It looked like there was a command to rescan for visual studio, but I missed that as it went by. When rebuilding the cmake I was asked to pick the architecture and everything is working again.
That rescan of visual studio, re-created the cmake-tools-kits.json file with the correct references.

msbuild: command line error D8021: invalid numeric argument /Werror

I am a student of TU Wien and quite new in programming. I would like to install a GitHub repository (https://github.com/SICKAG/sick_safetyscanners_base) which is basically for Linux, but I asked one the of the contributors and he said it should work on windows too.
According to the README the following steps have to be done to install this the repository:
git clone https://github.com/SICKAG/sick_safetyscanners_base.git
cd sick_safetyscanners_base
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path to install folder> ..
make -j8
make install
Here is a list of the softwares and tools I have already installed:
Visual Studio 2022 Community (because of MSVC)
Visual Studio Code
Scoop (to install cmake and make)
Boost 1.80.0
Git
And here are all the commands which are just working fine:
git clone https://github.com/SICKAG/sick_safetyscanners_base.git
cd sick_safetyscanners_base
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON .. (-DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON, otherwise cmake does not find boost)
The problem is in the command line "make -j8". After this command, I recieve the following message: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. I have done some research and I found out that make will not work on windows (I use windows 10).

Since Make will not work, I tried the command "msbuild" in the Developer PowerShell for VS 2022, but the repository will still not be installed, because I have the following error message: command line error D8021: invalid numeric argument /Werror.

At this stage, I do not really know, what else should I try to get this lilbrary finally installed. My goal is to call it with #include in my C++ program.
Do you have a solution here on how to get rid of the error message and how to install this library? I think the only thing missing is this step. I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Thank you in advance!
== UPDATE after the answer of MadScientist ==
Brief history: After installing boost, I got the following message...
The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!
The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:
C:\boost\boost_1_80_0
The following directory should be added to linker library paths:
C:\boost\boost_1_80_0\stage\lib
... but I don't know exactly where to put these paths. I'm assuming that's exactly why Cmake doesn't find Boost. This problem was solved with -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON.
Now, if I use the command line cmake -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON -G "Unix Makefiles" .., CMake fails to find Boost again.
Here is what I can see on the terminal:

Make absolutely does work on Windows (if you install it). In fact, you can tell it works since you ran it and it worked!!
The problem is that cmake can create project files for lots of different build systems, and the default on Windows is Visual Studio, not make. So when you ran cmake you got a bunch of files that tell Visual Studio how to build your code, but no files that tell make how to build your code.
Delete the directory and unpack it again, then run cmake again and add the -G "Unix Makefiles" option to the command.
However, the option -Werror is an option to the GCC compiler. It won't work if you're trying to run the Visual Studio compiler (even if you use a makefile to build the code, it will still use the Visual Studio compiler to compile it).
My suspicion is that whomever told you that "it should work" to build this code on Windows, was overly optimistic and in fact it will require some porting effort to make this work.

Cargo build broke after using VS code

For a while I have been editing my Rust program with Pycharm Professional. However, I was curious and experimented with VS Code. At first my project was compiling and running. However, it suddenly started throwing a pretty wild error on cargo build and cargo run (while cargo check is fine), even in cmd outside of VS Code:
error: linking with `link.exe` failed: exit code: 1104

book is the name of my project.
I am on Windows 10, System Type: x64-based PC.
VS Code version 1.63.2
Sometimes VSCode file watcher watches the files in target/, that is not good.
So open the Settings, search for exclude, and in all "list-like" cofigurations add **/target/**, do a cargo clean and restart VSCode. This should fix this and future problems
Had to remove the directory, and redownload the whole project(used Git).

Building MongoDB C Driver in Windows

What I did so far
I read the installation guide.
Installed OpenSSL library for Windows after downloading a setup file.
Downloaded and extracted a Mongo C Driver directory from GitHub.
Installed CMake for Windows after downloading from CMake web site.
Went to mongo-c-driver/src/libbson and run cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" and it prints (maybe) success.

The problem
Went to mongo-c-driver and run `cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" and prints errors like this.

See also "D:/works/test/mongo-c-driver/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
I looked for sasl.h from my disks but there is none. I also looked for it from OpenSSL GitHub but it does not have sasl.h
I downloaded and opened cyrus-sasl from here, but I am stuck with it. I don't know what to do with it.
How can I do the successful build of MongoDB C Driver?
It appears that the libsasl2 port to Windows is not complete. Although I did ultimately get libsasl to compile, there was no libsasl2 produced. It appears that SASL is used by MongoDB C Driver for Kerberos. I don't know if they have tried to get Kerberos working with the C Driver on Windows without a port of the libsasl2 library.
I was, however, able to get the MongoDB C Driver to ultimately compile. I initially tried to compile using subdirectories of C:\, as opposed to C:\mongo-c-driver etc., but that didn't work well, but when I compiled using the directory structure in the documentation, the compile succeeded.
To get it to compile, I disabled the SASL library in the compilation. I don't think it will be needed unless you need to use Kerberos. I initially had to explicitly disable SASL (perhaps because of using 64 bit) -- that can be done with -DENABLE_SASL=no when compiling the mongo-c-driver.
Here are the steps:
Got driver source from this page: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/releases (1.3.5)
Got cmake from https://cmake.org/download/
Installed cmake using the Windows installer, adding cmake to the path for all users. I had to log out and log back in to get the path to update.
Then, I copied the mongo-c-driver-1.3.5 source to c:\mongo-c-driver-1.3.5
Then,
I used the Visual Studio MSBuild Command Prompt, started with Run As Administrator

Turns out that the C compilers are not installed with a standard installation of Visual Studio, so I had to install C++ component of Visual Studio. I installed C++ Common Tools, but not MFC for C++ nor XP Support. That said it would use 3 GB of disk space (started at 39.5, ended at 37.0, so 2.5 GB used)
Once that was installed:
cd \mongo-c-driver-1.3.5\src\libbson
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\libmongoc -G "Visual Studio 14" .
msbuild.exe ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj
cd ..\..

OpenSSL was not present, so I obtained 32 bit Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.2h from http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Then, I installed OpenSSL. Changed installation directory to C:\work\OpenSSL-Win32, and I allowed the OpenSSL installer to install the binaries into the Windows system directory
Now,

(lots of output, with some yellow warnings, but no red errors)
msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj
And now the mongo-c-driver has been built. I can use it with Visual C++ to connect to my MongoDB server using ssl.
Now, I am trying to figure out how to get Embarcadero RADStudio C++ Builder to use the new mongo-c-driver. Just copying the .dll's into the application's folder results in an abort in the bson dll. The stack trace looks like this:
There are two errors in that output.
- libbson must be installed and available
- mongoc is configured against cyrus sasl, in which case it must be installed and available
Both are easily fixable, and later versions of mongoc will no longer error if cyrus sasl or openssl isn't available, but will instead use the Windows native implementations. The driver can also be configured without them.
The available configuration options and values are:
-DENABLE_SASL=[CYRUS|SSPI|AUTO|OFF]
-DENABLE_SSL=[OPENSSL|WINDOWS|DARWIN|AUTO|OFF]
Unfortunately the cmake installation of mongoc will not automatically install the bundled libbson for you, this may be fixed in the future, but for now you need to install it seperately.
In short, to install the mongoc driver on Windows:
Download & extract mongoc (https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/releases).
mongoc releases comes with libbson sources so no need to download them seperately.
Enter the libbson directory, "src/libbson" and then:
cd c:/path/to/mongoc/
cd src/libbson
# Configure and install libbson
cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:/mongoc
msbuild.exe ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj # Installs libbson
cd ../.. # Go back to the root folder of the release sources
# Configure and install mongoc
cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:/mongoc \
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:/mongoc/lib/cmake \
-DENABLE_AUTOMATIC_INIT_AND_CLEANUP:BOOL=OFF \
-DENABLE_SSL=WINDOWS \ # Use Windows Native TLS, rather then OpenSSL
-DENABLE_SASL=SSPI # Use Windows Native SSPI, rather then Cyrus SASL
msbuild.exe ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj
With a current Visual Studio you can just open the project, build all and get your DLLs.
I used Community 2019
Make sure the Desktop development with C++ workload is installed, it includes CMake support
Choose Open, CMake, then select CMakeLists.txt from the root of the extracted source archive
Now you are already ready to "build all", but since the default debug build is not recommended, you should open CMake settings, use the green "+" button and select x86-Release (or x64, if required).
For Delphi users: the default DLL filenames are without the required "lib" prefix (libmongoc-1.0.dll), so edit the BSON_OUTPUT_BASENAME and MONGOC_OUTPUT_BASENAME variables accordingly.
Another hint: the Delphi installation contains the files in 2 places: bin & Redist\win32, bin64 & Redist\win64 - good luck!

launch failed . binary not found in eclipse europa

*** Internal Builder is used for build ****
g++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -osrc\first.o ..\src\first.cpp
Internal Builder: Exec error:Launching failed
Build error occurred, build is stopped
Time consumed: 62 ms.
I am getting the above error in eclipse console when I tried to build my first "hello world" CPP program. Below are the steps I followed.
Installed Eclipse Europa.
Installed MinGW.
Open Eclipse goto window->preferences->c/C++->NEW CDT project wizard-> changed the Tool chain as "MinGW GCC".
When I opened the eclipse workspace manually there is no exe generated for the program.
My PATH variable in the project properties has "C:\MinGW" as value.
I searched much in net and still this "Launch Failed No Binaries" did not go off.
Please help...
"Launch failed No Binaries" means the program is not compiled.So this is the problem
related with MinGW GCC.Check you gave all the environmental variables necessary for the MINGW
correctly.
MoreOver I Suggest CodeBlocks IDE as a replacement.It is much Better than eclipse for c++

problems with creating an exe file in matlab

this is the session of building exe file in matlab 7.1.
I think I have a problem with the compiler.
mbuild -setup

if the problem is with the compiler, how can I install another compiler?
I have windows 7 (64 bits) and I want that the exe file will work on windows operating system.
This is probably the result of one of two issues.
1) You don't have the Windows SDK installed (as indicated in the error message). According to this MathWorks page regarding supported compilers
Both Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 6.1 must be installed. When installing Microsoft Visual Studio, you must choose "X64 Compilers and Tools" when installing Microsoft Visual Studio; this is not selected by default.
Now, keep in mind, this reference is for the most recent release of MATLAB, but I'm betting that this information is still relevant to your issue.
You can download the SDK here.
2) It's also possible that the compiler that you're using simply isn't supported for your release of MATLAB. See here for info on supported compilers for MATLAB 7.1.
