Compilation errors using VS2022 regarding headers

[NicusorN5]

Hi, I have downloaded physx 5.3.0 using vcpkg and I'm trying to instantiate a scene.

I have issues when attempting to compile with missing headers:

C1083	Cannot open include file: 'geometry/PxCustomGeometry.h': No such file or directory

when including <physx/PxScene.h>. I have tried including other headers, and only <physx/PxScene.h seems to work. I don't expect this to be intended, so how can I fix this?

My current source looks like this currently:

#pragma once
#include <physx/PxScene.h>

class PhysicsEngineAllocator : public physx::PxAllocatorCallback
{
	// Inherited via PxAllocatorCallback
	void* allocate(size_t size, const char* typeName, const char* filename, int line) override; //call to std::malloc
	void deallocate(void* ptr) override; //call to std::free
};

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hello @NicusorN5,
Indeed it's not intended like that.
The fact that it was able to find PxScene.h (in physx/include) and not PxCustomGeometry.h (in physx/include/geometry/) suggests a possible issue with how subdirectories are being handled in the include path settings.
Can you share your cmake config? How are you using PhysX in your project? Did you try adding physx/include/geometry/ to the include path?

Hi, I'm only using a VS2022 solution. It is entirely necessary to use CMake?

I'm only using VS2022 with vcpkg integrated.

Ok, although we don't officially maintain or support any vcpkg package, we did try to reproduce this, it seems that the issue is related to: microsoft/vcpkg#8071 (comment)
So in a nutshell, using:
#include "geometry/PxCustomGeometry.h" instead of #include <geometry/PxCustomGeometry.h> should fix the issue.
If it doesn't, I'm afraid that we can't really help with these issues. We can't support anything which is community driven and not provided by this repo.
Thanks

Thanks, that seemed to work.
