I am compiling VTK on the window10 machine, and have encountered several problems. _[Environment: window10, vs2022, cmake]_
1. **Internal compiler error.**
```auto
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error C1001 Internal compiler error. ioss D:\software\tool\vtk\VTK-9.2.6\ThirdParty\fmt\vtkfmt\vtkfmt\ostream.h 34
```
2. **cannot open input file named vtkioss-9.2.lib.**
```auto
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error LNK1181 cannot open input file '..\..\lib\Release\vtkioss-9.2.lib' IOIOSS D:\software\tool\vtk\VTK_build\IO\IOSS\LINK 1
```
Can you help me? Thank you!

You may want to try buidling with ninja instead of vs directly, if that helps.

thanks for your reply & help. 😍 But: There are some errors like:
```auto
D:\software\tool\vtk\VTK-9.2.6\ThirdParty\ioss\vtkioss\Ioss_Region.C(444): warning C4127: 条件表达式是常量
D:\software\tool\vtk\VTK-9.2.6\ThirdParty\fmt\vtkfmt\vtkfmt/ostream.h(34): fatal error C1001: 内部编译器错误。
```
after When i do:
```auto
cmake -G "Ninja" D:\software\tool\vtk\VTK-9.2.6
cmake --build .
```
what should i do ? 😂

I am also experiencing this error. Only started happening after updating to latest VS2022 v143 compiler package.
Edit: I was able to workaround by disabling the compilation of the IOSS module.

Wow, thanks a lot for your reply and help, I have now solved these issues, i.e. the compilation is successful.
And **thanks for contributing!** @mwestphal @adamrankin 🤝

Sorry for replying to you at this time /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ I don’t know if you have solved the problem at present. 😇
**method** :
You need to use [this document](https://docs.vtk.org/en/latest/build_instructions/index.html) and [ninja tool](https://ninja-build.org/) to compile and build.
**result** :
you can get debug & release mode for Your VTK.
**Best wishes & Upup**
