Does anyone know how to set up and run orthanc using Clion?  
I used `-G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DMSVC_MULTIPLE_PROCESSES=ON -DSTATIC_BUILD=ON -DOPENSSL_NO_CAPIENG=ON -DALLOW_DOWNLOADS=ON` specified in the INSTALL doc,

but got the error: fatal error C1083: cannot open include file: “PrecompiledHeadersServer.h”: No such file or directory

**Hello,**

Here is the link to the build instructions that have once been validated by some user of Orthanc for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017: [orthanc: 93dcc555b655 INSTALL](https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/hg/orthanc/file/Orthanc-1.12.3/INSTALL#l127)

As far as I’m concerned, as explained in [another thread](https://discourse.orthanc-server.org/t/while-building-orthanc-from-visual-studio-2022-getting-errors-in-protobufcompiler-project/4243/2), I only provide support for MSVC 2008 and MSVC 2015.

**Regards,**  
Sébastien-
