Problem in WIn 11

[cgdestroyer]

I tried last step to Invoke CMake from an MSYS2-MinGW64 shell

cmake -B cmake-build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DRV_DEPS_WIN_PERL_ROOT=/c/Strawberry/perl/bin -DRV_DEPS_QT5_LOCATION=/c/Qt/Qt5.15.2/msvc2019_64 cmake --build cmake-build --config Release --target rv -j8 cmake --install cmake-build --config Release

and got this error:

`CMake Error at src/lib/mu/MuQt5/CMakeLists.txt:10 (FIND_PACKAGE): By not providing "FindQt5.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5" with any of the following names:

Qt5Config.cmake
qt5-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "Qt5" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "Qt5_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Qt5" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist. Switch: rv.vcxproj CMake Error: Error processing file: C:/OpenRV/cmake-build/cmake_install.cmake ` any idea what am I doing wrong?

Hi @cgdestroyer. The error means that CMake could not find Qt in the location specified by your cmake command /c/Qt/Qt5.15.2/msvc2019_64 which is equivalent to c:\Qt\Qt5.15.2\msvc2019_64. Do you have Qt installed in that path?

[cgdestroyer]

Thank you @rogernelson it turned out that i had "qt" before 5.15.2 and on my system was just numbers, now it works great, thank you for help, I was blind for such obvious and simple problem, need some sleep :) cheers! :)

[rogernelson]

Excellent! I am very happy you got it working.

[rogernelson]

Also to make things easier, if everything is installed in default locations you can do source rvmds.sh and the rvmk to set up all the variables for you automatically (you can also override the locations by setting envars).

Unfortunately got some more errors in last step and don't know why :/

Do you have VS2022 on the machine? It looks like it's trying to use VS2022 to compile boost (a third party dependency) which unfortunately boost does not support.

[cgdestroyer]

yes I have VS 2022, 2019 and 2017, should I uninstall 2022 one? and left only other two

[rogernelson]

If you don't need it I think that would be the easiest option. The only alternative I can think of would be to investigate if there's some way to force boost to use a particular version of MSVC, but that would require some time to dig into it.

[cgdestroyer]

Thank you for your answers. I uninstalled VS 2022, but it wasn't it. I had installed VS 2019 community and 2017 Team because there was no community version on Microsoft downloads page. https://i.imgur.com/bzWlhKb.jpg I found VS 2017 Community installer on techspot.com webpage and uninstalled team explorer and installed Community https://i.imgur.com/NlzD90p.jpg

added additional libraries but portably it was unnecessary https://i.imgur.com/5N60rSm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5C4Cld2.jpg

And now cmake in MSYS2 MINGW64 works for about 12minutes other than 2min like before and only error I got at the beginning was this https://i.imgur.com/ooIy7ni.jpg

and some warnings https://i.imgur.com/W2zTjaI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Hup8EPB.jpg

and this how it ended https://i.imgur.com/quurBA8.jpg

I was it? Thats's all? I don't see any OpenRV exe file or something I can use so there are still some problems with that?

here is whole process https://youtu.be/c4F-Zsntrjk

I don't see the same errors from before, so at least you got a bit further. Another user got that same aclocal error you're seeing in issue https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenRV/issues/3.

He started from a clean machine and was able to get it to build, so it's definitely something installed on the machine that is causing the error, but we were unfortunately able to find what it was.

[cgdestroyer]

Tried virtual machine, have win 11 and only nessery things installed and got this error :/

Closing this thread since we have two threads (also https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenRV/issues/27) going with the same errors. It will be easier to follow-up if there is just one.
