how to fix scons error "[src\core\AABB.o] the system cannot find the file specified" on visual studio command prompt

[Onganne]

I am using visual studio command prompt to run scons of godot cpp, but the error, like the title suggests, appears and I am lost on what to do of it.

I tried researching ones again, but to no avail, the error is just too general for me to figure it out. I am also a beginner so a beginner friendly advise will really help so that the godot cpp scons will run and make file on designated area (according to the video and insturction) thx c:

Sorry, I don't know what could be causing this.

It is okay, its not like all errors are understandable Especially this one..hehe scons: *** [src\core\AABB.o] The system cannot find the file specified

If I may get a clue to why this error exist it can help I am using VisualStudio 2019 and using the command prompt in it

(just giving information if it can help hehe)

THen followed the instruction of the godot cpp and the other one (the old issue u solved for me, thx again)

So my question is instead, what does the error mean? Like what does [src\core\AABB.o] mean? It seems to be a file that cannot be found for some reason

Any Advise or Information can help Thx Again!

For me, Windows 64-bit library gets successfully built with cl, installed with VS2017. But, I get this exact same error if I don't want to use cl.exe and use "use_mingw=True" with the scons command. This might be mingw64.exe and g++ related. On the Windows machine I tested, mingw64 is installed with the MSYS2.

Run into this too, error from scons is a bit misleading by some reason. It turned out that I didn't have g++ on my MSYS2 environment. Check that gcc package is installed in your MSYS2 MinGW64.

I encountered this problem as well, please check if you're using preview version of visual studio, vswhere.exe won't return preview version of vs by default.
