CMake [server mode](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-server.7.html) is an old way of communicating between CMake and your IDE. It has been deprecated in favor of the [file API](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-file-api.7.html). You’re receiving this message because your IDE is still using server mode and hasn’t been updated for file API.
What IDE and version are you using?

Visual Studio _is_ the IDE (integrated development environment.) What version of Visual Studio are you using?

@brad.king is this version of Visual Studio new enough to use the File API?

my friend is very annoying and he say:
" its not that easy to compile

which you can get if you smart enough.
