many compile errors on Windows

[antithing]

Hi, i am trying to compile on Windows (CUDA 11.3) and am hitting many errors:

among others. Am i missing something? Thanks!

i think try it on google colab or on linux, pop os sounds good

have you cheked out https://github.com/NVlabs/instant-ngp#troubleshooting-compile-errors
?

@antithing I have met that problem already. And I found the cause of the problem is the version of vs and cuda doesn't match. For example, vs 2019 with cuda 11.4 or later may work.
