为VS2017构建OpenCascade

Question

Usecase: I intend to use the OpenCascade C++ library in my C++ project. I need to do simple polyline offsetting and polygon scaling down.

So I am attempting to install the OpenCascade C++ library on my Windows 10 64bit machine to use in Visual Studio 17. My first attempt was to use the windows installer then run the batch files (env.bat, custom.bat). But I have read on this forum that the windows installer wont work for Visual Studio 2017 - is that correct?

So I have now followed the build instructions here . And now I have opened the sample projects in Visual Studio 2017. When I try to build the project I get the following errors for each of the sample projects:

Error MSB8036 The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution". TKQADraw C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\Community\\Common7\\IDE\\VC\\VCTargets\\Platforms\\x64\\PlatformToolsets\\v141\\Toolset.targets 36

Any advice on what I have done wrong? Maybe I didn't build it properly following these steps ? Also, given my usecase above, do I need to do all this if I just want to use OpenCascade in a limited way?

Is there documentation or a link on how I create a new Visual Studio C++ project and link all the OpenCascade libraries?

As the error says, you haven't installed the correct SDK version, or maybe the version you installed is out dated. Check the SDK install and try again.
