Hey, I'm trying to compile aseprite but keep ending up with this set of errors, any ideas on how I can fix it? I'm going based off of this video -

Thanks for any help in advance,

The first few are deprecation warnings, so you can technically ignore them (for now). They will lead to errors in newer versions of CMake.

 

The actual error is the message that the "WEBP_LIBRARIES" variable is set to not found. This likely means you're missing a library that is a dependency for the project to build correctly. Make sure you've installed the pre-requisites for the project correctly.

What @Eigenvektor said

 

In this case specifically at least from what I quickly googled and found was that it relates to the Skia step:

 

See

https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/blob/main/INSTALL.md

Under dependencies.  You need to download and extract the pre-compiled ones

 

Then you need to also do the stuff at the Windows Details portion as shown in the YouTube video...but it can also be found in the INSTALL.md...just look for "Windows Details"

 

An important thing here is the following line, make sure you use the correct directly that you extracted Skia to

Quote

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DLAF_BACKEND=skia -DSKIA_DIR=C:\deps\skia -DSKIA_LIBRARY_DIR=C:\deps\skia\out\Release-x64 -DSKIA_LIBRARY=C:\deps\skia\out\Release-x64\skia.lib -G Ninja ..

So when following the YouTube video, make sure to change it when typing out the above line
