Cant build on windows 10

[kolep8]

Using 10.3.0 nodejs on Windows 10 I run "npm install --save opencv4nodejs"

Done Building Project "C:\test\node_modules
\opencv-build\opencv\build\INSTALL.vcxproj" (default targets).


Build succeeded.
    0 Warning(s)
    0 Error(s)

After that I see lots of missing files errors and then build process fails, for example one of missing files:

C:\test\node_modules\opencv4nodejs\cc\core\
Size.h(1): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'opencv2/core.hpp': No such file or di
rectory (compiling source file ..\cc\CustomMatAllocator.cc) [C:\test\node_modules\opencv4nodejs\build\opencv4nodejs.vcxproj]

[justadudewhohacks]

Are you using your own OpenCV build or the auto build. In the latter case, did the auto build(the opencv-build package)succeed/execute?

[kolep8]

I am trying auto build

After first build/succeed message

and then lots of files cant be included, just copied some of names:

Can you check whether the include dir and libraries are present in node_modules/opencv-build/build? Obviously the include directory is missing.

[kolep8]

When I am running "opencv4nodejs" installation all folders are deleted after fail. So I cant check.

This time I tried just "npm install opencv-build" - this builded opencv without any issues. and those files what was missing, is found in folders. Then I tried "npm install --save opencv4nodejs" and it failed right after git checkout:

error: unable to create file samples/winrt_universal/VideoCaptureXAML/video_capture_xaml/video_capture_xaml.WindowsPhone/video_capture_xaml.WindowsPhone.vcxproj.filters: Filename too long
error: unable to create file samples/winrt_universal/VideoCaptureXAML/video_capture_xaml/video_capture_xaml.WindowsPhone/video_capture_xaml.WindowsPhone_TemporaryKey.pfx: Filename too long
Checking out files: 100% (5879/5879), done.
fatal: unable to checkout working tree

and installing process stopped

[justadudewhohacks]

Okay, but that's a git issue. Usually git should accept much longer filenames, so not sure whats the issue there.

[kolep8]

Tried again, results are: npm install opencv-build - has all files what cant be found by next command npm install opencv4nodejs - cant find opencv files

Looks like issue could be in "opencv4nodejs" execution process. if running "opencv-build" on its own has all files whats needed

npm version - 6.1.0 nodejs - 10.3.0

is there anything else I could try?

[justadudewhohacks]

Given that opencv-build indeed builds without any issue you should have an include directory at node_modules\opencv-build\opencv\build\include, which contains the subdirectories opencv and opencv2 with all the header files, a library directory at node_modules\opencv-build\opencv\build\lib\Release containing the .lib files and a binary directory node_modules\opencv-build\opencv\build\bin\Release with .dlls.

Not sure why the install script doesn't find the include directory in your case, but you could also disable the autobuild flag after installing opencv-build and set the envs OPENCV_INCLUDE_DIR and OPENCV_LIB_DIR manually to the corresponding directories.

[kolep8]

All required Env variables was set.

info install OPENCV4NODEJS_DISABLE_AUTOBUILD is set
info install skipping auto build...

but even with it, it fails to find those files:

c:\program files (x86)\test\node_modules\opencv4nodejs\cc\core\coreUtils.h(2): fatal error C1083: 
Cannot open include file: 'opencv2/core.hpp': No such file
or directory (compiling source file ..\cc\core\core.cc)

such file or directory (compiling source file ..\cc\cvTypes\imgprocConstants.cc) [C:\Program F
iles (x86)\test\node_modules\opencv4nodejs\build\opencv4nodejs.vcxproj]

[kolep8]

also checking OPENCV_INCLUDE_DIR in CMD it gives correct path. Could this issue be due npm version?

[justadudewhohacks]

That's odd. I can't think of any reason why it complains. Not sure if it is related to npm, I am using npm 5.6.0 right now, which comes with node-gyp 3.6.2.

In case you want to debug the issue, the script node-gyp uses to get the include directory is located in lib/includes.js. You could clone the repo and replace the console.log with a throw new Error(resolvePath(process.env.OPENCV_INCLUDE_DIR)) to log and investigate the final path, since console.log doesn't print to the console in this script.

[kolep8]

Throw also shows correct path: Error: C:/Program Files (x86)/test/node_modules/opencv-build/opencv/build/include

node-gyp -v v3.6.2

[kolep8]

@justadudewhohacks Maybe you can share compressed "node_modules" with package.json and package-lock.json, where "face-recognition.js" "opencv4nodejs" would be installed for windows.

Thanks :+1:

[justadudewhohacks]

I don't want to maintain precompiled versions of this package for every single operating system, node abi and OpenCV setup for every single release, sorry.

[justadudewhohacks]

Could you please share the full error log? The error message is not shown in the log you posted

[rafaP]

Hello, here it is the debug log and the terminal log.

Plus i have the python installed, but it keeps not working.

[rafaP]

You know what I'm doing wrong in there?

[rafaP]

I need this for a project i'm working.

[justadudewhohacks]

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for sharing the log. The error message clearly says that the python executable could not be found, which is required to run node-gyp:

gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "C:\Users\rafael.pereira\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.EXE", you can set the PYTHON env variable. gyp ERR! stack at PythonFinder.failNoPython (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js:483:19) gyp ERR! stack at PythonFinder.

Is python in your system path, what happens if you run python --version? Looks like you set the python environment variable to the executable rather then the directory? Try to strip python.EXE from the path, eg: C:\Users\rafael.pereira\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32.

[rafaP]

[justadudewhohacks]

Ah okay. However, this is a node-gyp issue and not the issue of opencv4nodejs. I would recommend you to look the error message up at node-gyp. Googling the error message you can already find a lot of people having the same issue as yours.

The only thing that I would suggest you to try is to set the python path in your npm config: npm config set python "C:\Users\rafael.pereira\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.exe". Otherwise I am clueless.

[rafaP]

It needs Python 2 instead of 3. and now it's working.

Thanks for the support, if i find more problems i will report.

[justadudewhohacks]

Strange, I am using python 3.5. But atleast it is working now.

[rafaP]

Yes. Thanks for the support.

[rainabba]

If you're running Windows 10, do yourself a HUGE favor and start using WSL (and docker if appropriate) and you'll all but stop seeing Windows specific issues while doing Nodejs dev.

Hi Team,

Still no dice?

As for @savtambe it seems that you have a separate issue with MSBuild as you have MSB error. You have to look at this line in your error log: error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

[AnnaMoudra]

I solved my issue by using auto build and the -msvs_version=2017 flag. First I had to delete the VCTargetsPath from Environment Variables which is used for VS 2015 only (make sure to put it back, if you want to use VS 2015 later). I had to also make sure to close and reopen PowerShell every time I have used VS 2015 as it has left some variables set, which was messing with the VS 2017 build. I am noting this as I have seen many recomendations to keep just one version of VS, which is clearly not needed And finally, I had to delete the .node-gyp directory from C:\Users\<username>\
