There are a few custom targets that create symlinks, like this one:
if (WIN32)
add_custom_target(ResourcesDir ALL
COMMAND IF NOT EXIST ${RESOURCES_DST} mklink /J ${RESOURCES_DST} ${RESOURCES_SRC}
)
else ()
add_custom_target(ResourcesDir ALL
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E create_symlink ${RESOURCES_SRC} ${RESOURCES_DST}
)
endif ()
This fails trying to compile on Win10 1803 with VS 2017:
6>You do not have sufficient privilege to perform this operation.
5>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(209,5): error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" exited with code 1.
The reason behind it failing is a bit odd but the solution is pretty straightforward: Replace all mklink /D with mklink /J.
