alloca.h: No such file or directory

[MyZeD]

Compiling with MinGW produces the error:

alloca.h: No such file or directory

include/string.h:10 should be:

#if defined(WIN32) || defined(__WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__)
    #include <malloc.h>
#else
    #include <alloca.h>
#endif

If you're changing build system add this to your include path:
https://github.com/bkaradzic/bx/tree/master/include/compat/mingw

salieri.h and sal.h contain circular includes and compiler reaches include depth limit.
There is a chance I did not configure this right, since I have my own CMake setup and compiled shared bgfx separately.

Visual Studio 2017, btw.

Same @danylorudenko I'm also trying to make a custom CMake setup with bgfx precompiled separetly. Using vs2017 too. I've got c1014 too many include files depth = 1024 which signifies a circular dependency somewhere but I really dont feel like going through each file and writing #pragma once everywhere

EDIT:
adding #pragma once to sal.h fixed it, but I've got load of other errors now

LOL what a joke. Still is an issue with visual studio and the cmake integration bgfx github. Why is nearly everything half-assed nowadays?

[bkaradzic]

@crjenkins What's your question here?

There are no issues with provided build system.

@danylorudenko @Angramme @crjenkins
I met the same circular including problem.
But when I dipped through a bit, I fount MY problem is including "bx\include\compat\mingw" when using MSVC toolchain.
When I switched the include path to "bx\include\compat\msvc", everything works as-is.

Hope this memo will help someone later:
DON'T INCLUDE MINGW WHEN USING MSVC
