Problems building my fork

[mgfarmer]

Hi, Based on your comment in #285 I'm trying to build the application in Visual Studio 2022, but I run into the build errors shown below. I'm the first to admit that I haven't really used Visual Studio since 2005, so it is entirely possible that I've failed to setup something obvious. Hopefully you can look at this error and quickly tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Also, I had problems initializing and cloning the submodules. It would not work for me until I updated .gitmodules to use full URL's (not relative paths) to the other repos.

Hi, I tried to correct .gitmodules but it worked for me with.
I wrote a little howto : https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse/wiki/Build-LittleBigMouse
Do no hesitate to edit if things are missing.

For your specific problem I think you are still with AnyCpu configuration. You have to choose x64.

Thank you! You were right, changing AnyCPU to x64 was all I needed. I'm able to build and debug now.
