文件“D:\VTK\VTK-9.5.0vs\Filters\CellGrid\Basis\_HGrad\_HexI2Basis.h”中的 #if/#endif 对不匹配

I encountered some problems while compiling VTK, which resulted in a bunch of unknown errors Either the file is missing or the # if and # endif do not match. Does anyone know the reason？

This file is in the build directory, which means that it’s a generated file. I suggest:

1. Look at the file to make sure it isn’t truncated or otherwise incomplete
2. Delete the file
3. Re-run cmake and then rebuild VTK

Hopefully, the rebuild will fix the problem.
