Error C3861 in the Release build of SAM Open Source

Hello, 

I am trying to install the open source version of SAM. I'm using Visual Studio 2022 on Windows.

I keep encountering a C3861 error in project SAMOS, file "simulation.cpp" which states: "ssc_data_set_var_match_case": identifier not found. When I examined the file, it showed that "ssc_data_set_var_match_case" was not defined anywhere. 

Where is the definition expected to be? Any tips on how to proceed would be very much appreciated.

Hi Lina,

Please try building from the patch branches of the SAM, ssc, wex, and lk repositories instead of the default develop branches. We are actively working in develop and can't guarantee that they will build correctly.

A build from patch branches will result in a version of SAM consistent with the current NREL release version, SAM 2022.11.21 Revision 3.

Let me know if you encounter that error with builds from the patch branches.

Best regards,
Paul.
