Build error in windows platform

[psudeepth]

While building I am getting the below error

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I Am using cmake-GUI for building With command line also getting the same error. I have configured as per the documentation and installed all the pre-requrisites mentioned.

Any help will be appreciated.

[rogernelson]

This is just a guess, but pyside has some really long paths in it and windows (by default) has a 260 character limit on file paths. What is the root directory you are building in? If it's something really long perhaps try to move it as close to the root as possible to shorten the length of the paths.

[psudeepth]

Hello rogernelson ,

I Have read in the the thread about the issue so I have kept the root in C:\OpenRV.

Have also figured out where its going wrong. i found that
OpenRV/tree/main/cmake/macros/rv_stage.cmake line: 405 in execute_process its showing file not found but while printing the path variable its printing properly. Even its having a check if the file exists or not (line: 401) and exception is not caught. it is looking for this file OpenRV/tree/main/src/plugins/rv-packages/additional_nodes/PACKAGE and its available in the folder.

[psudeepth]

I am building in windows 10 using CMAKE and Visual Studio 2019

[rogernelson]

You are building in a mingw64 shell though, right? What I mean is to execute the command inside of that shell.

[psudeepth]

Ran the command
bash -c "cat C:/OpenRV/src/plugins/rv-packages/additional_nodes/PACKAGE | grep version: | grep --only-matching -e '[0-9.]*'"

Result:
pasud@DESKTOP-RJISE5K MINGW64 ~

bash -c "cat C:/OpenRV/src/plugins/rv-packages/additional_nodes/PACKAGE | grep version: | grep --only-matching -e '[0-9.]*'"

1.2

The expected result is found. I am using current generator as Visual Studio 16 2019 do I need to change it to MSYS2 MINGW64?

[rogernelson]

Since the command works, I suspect then that it is something else that is failing.

Visual Studio 2019 is what you want on the cmake command line. QtWebEngine won't build with anything else, so it's required. We're only really using msys so we can use standard posix commands like grep from cmake (as you see in the command you ran above). The build process is not using any of the msys/mingw64 compilers or build toolchains.

You will also need Visual Studio 2017 installed though, since pyside will only build with that. Do you have it on your machine? If it's missing that could also explain the error.

[psudeepth]

I have both Visual Studio 2019 and 2017 installed. Both Community edition and all the requirements mentioned in the Building Open RV on Windows. I am using VMWare Fusion on Mac and installed windows as a VM. Will that be any kind of issue?

check this guide-tips
#91

[psudeepth]

Totally sorry. I am new to build process with CMAKE. Previously I was trying to build with CMAKE-GUI. That is the reason I am getting the above error. I managed to build the source properly but getting many warnings and 1 Error. After the build process is done rv.exe is missing. I followed the process mentioned in #91. The process I followed is mentioned below and the build log is also attached.

Any help is much appriciated

I was getting the same error and it was for bash not being found.

bash.exe path is correctly set in cmd.exe and msys2 console - both show where bash correctly - but in the context of the script running bash is not found.

Try hardcoding the full path to bash such as "C:/msys2/usr/bin/bash.exe" as a test and see if it moves past that line.

COMMAND "C:/msys2/usr/bin/bash.exe" -c "cat ${_package_file} | grep version: | grep --only-matching -e '[0-9.]*'"
