Error list

Good morning, 
I tried to install Geant4 and encountered multiple issues while building Geant4 via Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10:
1. When building project G4processes.dll, I received 2 error messages:
a. ...\Debug\bin\G4processes.dll not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link
b. fatal error LNK1189: library limit of 65535 objects exceeded

2. When building other projects, I received many error messages like the following:
LNK1104	cannot open file '..\..\BuildProducts\Debug\lib\G4tracking.lib'	

These errors lead to 20 projects that failed to build. I attached 2 print screens with examples of the error messages.

Can you help me?

Thank you, 
Rotem Barat.

This is a known issue with Debug builds on Windows. The only resolution is to build in either Release or RelWithDebInfo modes. See:
