Compiling Error When Compiling TFS 1.4 Downscale for 7.72

[Jeaux]

First time compiling and the one error I'm getting is 'C1083 cannot open include file 'boost/asio.hpp' no such file or directory'.

I researched a bit, but I'm pretty newbie when it comes to this so this was all I found. I'm just not sure where to find boost/asio.hpp

Thanks in advance.

review the vcpkg install part, and libs part, if any of these steps failed, the compilation will not succeed

They didn't fail, but I suspect my issue has to do with needing an older Visual Studio version. Just not sure where to go from there at the moment.

visual studio 2019 or 2022 are fine, your problem is that boost lib seems to not be installed, did you install the correct one? for example:

- install the x64 libs and on visual studio select release and x64

Went back and installed boost-asio specifically and a lot is going on in powershell so I'll check back later XD

I went from 1 error to 65 errors x.x

So what I did to fix this was go back and individually install each item instead of copy/paste the entire install string. Compile completed, and now I'm back to having no idea where to go next. On to the next solution!

Hi, I was able to compile the source but when executing the .exe it does not open and shows no signs of errors. what can happen? at the end of the compilation it throws me an error that is about the CONFIG.LUA
