Originally created by @michalshy on GitHub (Sep 10, 2025).

I tried building app from source, yet I cannot done it with following build process from attached guide.
The steps for me are:

  1. Cloning repo
  2. Init submodules
  3. Running winget configure .config\configuration.winget
  4. When I am opening solution I get
C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\src\host\exe\Host.EXE.vcxproj : error  : The imported project "C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\dep\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\msbuild\vcpkg.props" was not found. Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "$(VcpkgRoot)/scripts/buildsystems/msbuild/vcpkg.props", which evaluated to "C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\\dep\vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/msbuild/vcpkg.props", is correct, and that the file exists on disk.  C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\src\common.build.pre.props


C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\src\host\exe\Host.EXE.vcxproj : error  : The imported project "C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\dep\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\msbuild\vcpkg.props" was not found. Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "$(VcpkgRoot)/scripts/buildsystems/msbuild/vcpkg.props", which evaluated to "C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\\dep\vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/msbuild/vcpkg.props", is correct, and that the file exists on disk.  C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\src\common.build.pre.props


C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\src\host\ft_fuzzer\Host.FuzzWrapper.vcxproj : error  : The imported project "C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\dep\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\msbuild\vcpkg.props" was not found. Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "$(VcpkgRoot)/scripts/buildsystems/msbuild/vcpkg.props", which evaluated to "C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\\dep\vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/msbuild/vcpkg.props", is correct, and that the file exists on disk.  C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\src\common.build.pre.props

This is only snippet but afaik all of the projects are not found. It is probably my bad since I am not aware of some action. Also I am running all of the software required to run this app.
I installed packages manually and tried to build via cmd and pwsh and those are also popping errors.

C:\Dev\Projects\terminal>.\tools\razzle.cmd
Setting up dev environment...
Invalid input 'OpenConsole.slnx'. The file type was not recognized.
\Microsoft was unexpected at this time.

and

Dev environment variables set
Wersja programu MSBuild 17.14.18+a338add32 dla .NET Framework
MSBUILD : error MSB1009: plik projektu nie istnieje.
Przełącznik: C:\Dev\Projects\terminal\OpenConsole.sln

Any idea what I am doing wrong, what could I include and why following building guide does not work for me?

Interesting...

What specific version of Visual Studio are you using?

Can you go to the optional components for VS and install vcpkg?

That's really unexpected! Would you mind sharing the output of... (powershell)

gci "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\vcpkg"
gci "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\vcpkg" *.exe -rec

I can't explain the razzle issues; I just think the scripts probably broke slightly in the migration to the new VS solution format.

The vcpkg thing, though, is weird. Terminal tries to use the version from VCPKG_ROOT (environment variable) first, then the one that came with VS (global), and only falls back to dep/vcpkg (the local copy) if both of those fail.

I am so sorry for taking your time, I looked at your answer and checked my environment variables. My VCPKG_ROOT was pointing to old directory i deleted... So i guess it tried to take one from there and when it failed it must've fallen to dep... I changed dir and now its working. Closing issue
