Best regard,

I get an error when I try to compile the * .sln file in VS 2019, after being generated by the Cmake interface.

My error output is:

I have CUDA 11.4, Win 10 64bit and FFTW 3.3.5 installed. I would be very grateful if you could guide me in solving this error, as I wish to be able to compile on my own any new version of Gromacs on Windows that might be released in the future.
