I tried to build in Visual Studio 2019 (after processing 5.0.1 Toolkit in CMake) ALL\_BUILD, but 5 process (of 245) have not been completed. Can you help me?

It says: “Call API PDB failed. Code error:3” and the last error is “Impossible to open the file …”

It is a known problem in VS2019. Please up-vote this [bug report](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/552999/fatal-error-c1090-pdb-api-call-failed-error-code-3.html). Meanwhile, you could try version [5.0 beta1](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/releases/tag/v5.1b01).

Can i program in another way, using for example an older version of VS or another programm? (I’m using windows and i can’t wrap the code in python because some functions are missing). I want to use Clang, but i don’t know how to set ITK if i can’t use VS

edit: I configured ITK with the version 5.1 with VS (it worked), but i don’t know how to include libraries in Clang

`clang` is not well supported under Windows. I suggest you to stick to Visual Studio on Windows.
