Hi
I have tried to use cmake 3.18 to generate the project with visual studio 2013, and the “.sln” file was created in the build folder. During this process, the hdf5 item was unchecked(because Optionally the HDF5 library, I do not know if this will affect ).
when I open the “.sln” with visual studio 2013 to compile it, there were some mistakes, void init(MPI_Comm Communicator) not declared , how to fix this problem?

For mpi you must install mpi you can follow this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/message-passing-interface/microsoft-mpi
