Problem building Crashpad with MSVC16 in 32bit mode

[Swatinem]

Thanks for adding a CMake based build system for crashpad - I was already working on that for our applications but now that you have added it I might shift and help you with patches if I have the time.

I would very much appreciate that. I only learned CMake a few week ago for this project, and I’m sure I can still learn a lot about it.

master now has a broader set of tests, also building the crashpad backend on 32bit VS2017, and 64bit VS2019. We can extend the list further if needed, for example cross-compiling 32bit from a 64bit VS2019 toolchain like you are trying to do here.

@tru can you try this again with the latest 0.2.1 release and close this if the issue is solved? We made a few improvements to the CMake files, and also test with at least 32-bit VS2017.

[Swatinem]

I will close this for now, please re-open if you are still having problems

It's not clear how to build the 32bit crashpad backend with VS2019. The result binaries are 64bit anyway even building with VS2019 x86 Native Tools environment.

Use -A Win32 flag.

Something like,

mkdir ~build
cd build
cmake -A Win32 ..
cmake --build .
