python cmake chooses wrong Windows SDK version

Question

I try to compile the Frechet-CUDA package for python. I installed C++ via Visual Studio and installed dlib and cmake for python to compile the package. Still get the following error:

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
  CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

My best guess is that CMake is unable to choose the correct SDK version. I tried this solution to enforce a specific SDK version which I certainly installed on my device. Sadly the file mentioned in the solution does not contain the paragraph for a default SDK version. I tried to insert the mentioned paragraph but the process still fails with the exact same error.

Feel free to ask for more information about programme versions or my device!

My sys spec is the following:

System : Win 10

Python-ver: 3.7

Latest SDK version:

Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.1_1004.584.2120.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.1_1004.584.2120.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe

EDIT I : The CMakeOutput.log file contains only the following line :

The system is: Windows - 10.0.19043 - AMD64

EDIT II : I have Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-Bit) - Current Version 17.3.3 installed on my machine. My C++ version : Visual C++ 2022 00482-90000-00000-AA994

EDIT III : This is not a CUDA problem. The CUDA toolset is not needed to install the package.

EDIT IV : I've updated the SDK version as mentioned by @Tsyvarev. Still the compilation error persists.

CMake configures the project for Visual Studio and msbuild which corresponds to it. So, which Visual Studio you have installed on your machine? (Note, that Visual Studio is NOT a VS Code). — Tsyvarev, Sep 10 '22 at 16:47

@Tsyvarev is there any information, that I have missed, which would help to solve this question? — mugdi, Sep 12 '22 at 08:15
You need either to configure your Visual Studio to use proper default SDK, or you need to tell CMake to configure your project with proper SDK. I am not an expert with Visual Studio and don't know the way it is configured. If you want to tell CMake about your SDK version, then you could set `CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION` variable, either in the command line or in the `CMakeLists.txt`, like suggested in [that question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63612743/how-to-pass-latest-windows-sdk-version-to-cmake). — Tsyvarev, Sep 12 '22 at 08:35
Done! Still the error persists! Any further recommendations? I updated the stacktrace aswell. — mugdi, Sep 12 '22 at 11:31
"Still the error persists!" - Well, you actually got **other** error, and it is not about SDK version, as the current title states. — Tsyvarev, Sep 12 '22 at 11:45
As for debugging Boost problems, you could try to set `Boost_DEBUG` option as described in the [documentation](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindBoost.html) and check output it produces. The option could be set either in the command line (`-DBoost_DEBUG=ON`) or in the `CMakeLists.txt` (`set (Boost_DEBUG ON)`). — Tsyvarev, Sep 12 '22 at 11:51
You are perfectly right here. Sry for that misleading comment. Since this question dives into a completly new direction I will close this one and open another. — mugdi, Sep 12 '22 at 19:24
