Error in build 64 bit version of MOAB in Windows 7 + VS2012 environment

[tang laoya]

Dear all,

I am trying to build the 64 bit version of MOAB by CMake in Windows 7 + VS2012 environment. I noticed that there are some header files are not included so I added some include directories in moab\src\CMakeLists.txt:

include_directories( ${MOAB_BINARY_DIR} ${MOAB_SOURCE_DIR}/src ${MOAB_BINARY_DIR}/src ${MOAB_SOURCE_DIR}/src/io ${MOAB_SOURCE_DIR}/src/LocalDiscretization ${MOAB_SOURCE_DIR}/src/moab ${MOAB_SOURCE_DIR}/src/moab/point_locater ${MOAB_SOURCE_DIR}/src/moab/point_locater/element_maps ${MOAB_SOURCE_DIR}/src/moab/point_locater/tree ${MOAB_SOURCE_DIR}/src/parallel ${MOAB_BINARY_DIR}/src/parallel ${MOAB_SOURCE_DIR}/src/moab/point_locater/lotte )

However, after generated the solution suitable for VS2012 and build the code, there are still thousands of errors, for example: \moab\src\moab/Core.hpp(62): error C2079: 'moab::Core::dllexport' uses undefined class 'moab::__dllspec'

Error 11 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/resource.h': No such file or directory

and so on.

What have I missed?

Thanks, Tang Laoya

After clicked 'Configure' in CMake, the message of CMake is as follows:

The binary directory

E:/Users/tang/tang/mesh/MeshKit/meshkit/meshkit_mesquite/moab/64bit/tools/dagmc

is already used to build a source directory. This command uses it to build source directory

E:/Users/tang/tang/mesh/MeshKit/meshkit/meshkit_mesquite/moab/tools/dagmc

which can generate conflicting build files. CMake does not support this use case but it used to work accidentally and is being allowed for compatibility. This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Dear developer,

I have successfully built the MOAB static library in Windows 7 + VS2012 environment after modified some source code files. If possible, I would like upload the modified code for your check.

Thanks, Tang Laoya

[Vijay M]

Tang, there is a pull request pending by Jason regarding CMake for Windows which will be reviewed in the coming week. If you have a lot of changes along the same lines, do submit a pull request and we can get both the features tested and merged in one shot. Thanks.

Vijay

[Vijay M]

Tang, can you try the latest sources and see if your patches are still needed ? If they are, please submit a pull request and we can check/merge them for the upcoming release.

[tang laoya]

Hi Vijay,

I will try it latter and tell you the result then.

Thanks

[Vijay M]

Just checking if there are any updates for us to fix this now ?

[tang laoya]

Dear Prof. Mahadevan,

I am sorry that I am busy in a project and didn't response this issue for a long time. Just a quick result when built by the latest code:

The CMake 3.0.2 is used and build environment is Windows 7 64 bit + VS2013

built version is 64bit, without any change of configure settings and just click 'Configure' and 'Generate', the following message displayed:

Generating done

The project is failed to generate.

Latter I will try to check what I should check furthermore.

Thanks, Tang Laoya

This has been fixed. We are getting ready for a release and so if you can recheck and let us know, that would be extremely helpful!

[Vijay M]

Tang, I'm marking this as resolved unless there are any other pending issues.

[tang laoya]

Dear Prof. Vijay Mahadevan,

I am sorry for late reply. After a quick test I have the following result (unfortunately it is still not successful). The test is done by Windows 7 64bit + CMake 3.0.2 + VS2013 In addition, two source code is modified to let it be able to be compiled in VS2013 and attached.

Thanks, Tang Laoya

[Vijay M]

Can you send us a patch on what you modified. I don't see anything useful in the above message. Not sure if you meant to attach a file ?

[tang laoya]

Dear Prof. Vijay Mahadevan,

I have attached the modified files in my previous email. Here I attached the files again.

Thanks, Tang Laoya

[Vijay M]

Thanks, we'll take a look at it. There is also a cmake branch for Windows that's in progress, which might resolve a lot of your issues.

[Vijay M]

There are updates already in MOAB master and a pending PR with changes for Windows builds using CMake. These changes have also been tested with VS2015 and VS2017 with Eigen3 dependency instead of BLAS/LAPACK.
