No RV executable

[BrianHanke]

I followed the Windows build guide carefully and everything seems to finish, but there is no RV executable in the 174,433 files in cmake-build. Installing doesn't help, no executable gets copied there either. Let me know what info I can provide to help troubleshoot.

Windows 10, VS Community 2017 and 2019, Qt 5.15.2. All other required apps and packages installed per the instructions.

Thank you!

Same Problem here, with exactly the same setup and procedure.

[RichardFrangenberg]

I have a similar problem here. The build seems to finish, but no RV executable got created.

However it seems that some targets were not built successfully (i.e. boost). Still trying to figure out why.
On Windows 11 here.

[BrianHanke]

Thanks for the comments. I get three errors during the build, but it still continues and finishes. There are also a ton of warnings about variable types and such, but I assume that doesn't matter. I attached the full wall o' text if it helps.

How did you write the whole msys2 output to a file? Or is there a cmake log with the complete output?

[BrianHanke]

How did you write the whole msys2 output to a file? Or is there a cmake log with the complete output?

I set the max scrollback to like 100 billion lines, right click select all, copy and paste into a text document.

[rogernelson]

Hi @BrianHanke The build doesn't actually finish, but it can be hard to tell when it's building multi-threaded since the log does not always contain the errors necessarily at the end.

From looking at your log it seems the errors were building pyside. Pyside unfortunately will only build on Windows with VS 2017, so we recommend installing both 2017 and 2019. Do you have VS 2017 installed as well?

[rogernelson]

Also if you don't want to capture all the output from your shell, you can redirect the output to a file by doing something like

rvmk > /tmp/build.log

If you want to see that log while its build you can also do tail -f /tmp/build.log in another shell to follow it as it goes.

[BrianHanke]

Thanks @rogernelson. Yes, I have VS Community 2017 installed (15.9.51). Maybe the build process doesn't know where to find it?

[rogernelson]

It should find it automatically. Let me build it on my Windows machine and capture the log and compare it to yours to hopefully give us some idea of what is going on.

[BrianHanke]

Cool, looking forward to your results.

[rogernelson]

I had a few minutes to look and one definite difference between your output and mine is the aclocal error. For some reason on your system it's looking for the m4 file at /msys64/usr/share/aclocal/tcl.m4. I have this file, but it's located at /usr/share/aclocal/tcl.m4. Do you have the file there as well? What does this command give you: aclocal --print-ac-dir?

[BrianHanke]

The strange thing about that error is that tcl.m4 IS located in C:\msys64\usr\share\aclocal but it still says it can't find it.

Running aclocal --print-ac-dir gives me /usr/share/aclocal

No, I don't have any files there, assuming /usr/... translates to C:\usr. There is no folder there.

[rogernelson]

The paths are close, but not exactly the same the msys equivalent of C:\msys64\usr\share\aclocal is not /msys64/usr/share/aclocal/tcl.m4, it's actually /c/msys64/usr/share/aclocal/tcl.m4.

That said alocal should be looking in the directory given by aclocal --print-ac-dir. Is it possible you may have more than one copy of aclocal in your path? Like one installed by some other kind of Linux-like application like wsl or cygwin or anything like that?

[BrianHanke]

No I've never had wsl or cygwin or similar on this PC.

This does remind me that I wanted to ask about my environment variables being a potential source of problems. I've got some Maya/Houdini/Nuke/Python stuff although not sure those are picked up by MSYS2. Here is printenv from there. I notice some /usr/ references in PATH which point to nothing I assume since there is no folder at /c/usr
