Compilation problem about cppad

[bradbell]

I just tried downloading Visual Studio Community from
https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads

I could not find the file vcvarsall.bat which is used to set up command line processing with Visual Studio; see
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43372235/vcvarsall-bat-for-visual-studio-2017

I did find the file vcvars.bat in the directory
c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\vsdevcmd\ext
but it gave errors when I tried to execute it.

Were you able to get it to run ?

Hello Mr. Bell First, I want to THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help. I am almost "desperate" to see the library working and build my programs with. As well as I am eager to practise and learn more about AAD. Yes, I could build everything smoothly. Only when trying to build the solution I encountered the mentioned error (and a few others, but -I think- this is the important one). Let's discuss somehow and see how this problem can be solved. I can tell you each step I performed to install the library. I think it will be useful for further users too. What I did was to respect TO THE LETTER the indications from Internet, that proved to be simple and effective. Any beginner -as myself- will do the same when working with Visual Studio. Hence, there are chances that this trouble will arise many times and this is a pitty. Best regards Liviu Sandu

Are you using the version of Visual Studio Community from
https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads
If not, how can I get the version that you are using ?

What is the bat file you ran to set the visual studio variable ?; e.g.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat

What were the command line arguments when you ran it ?; e.g.,
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86

What is the output of your cmake command ?

[LiviuSandu]

Please, wait until this (late) evening when I shall be able to sit in front of my laptop and answer all your questions. I am travelling now. Best regards Liviu

Hello I finally arrived at some place where I can get an Internet connection. That is why I answer so late. I apologize. Below are the steps I performed to install and check the library (they are on page https://www.coin-or.org/CppAD/Doc/download.htm at "Windows File Extraction and Testing" paragraph). As the other environment variables were already set, I only had to set the VCDIR variable: C:\cppad-20170117\build>set VCDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC;%PATH% I ran the vcvarsall.bat script: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC>call vcvarsall.bat x86 There was no output on the screen. I took a glance on the code and I think this was the normal behaviour (although it shouldn't have been: I should have been informed about a successful run). Because it needed some time to get executed, I presumed all was right. Then I ran the cmake script: C:\cppad-20170805\build>cmake .. -- Building for: Visual Studio 14 2015 -- The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.0.24215.1 -- The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 19.0.24215.1 -- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/bin/cl.exe -- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/bin/cl.exe -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -

There is no VC directory in my
c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0
directory, So I must have a different version of Visual Studio.
Is yours a free version ? If so, I can I download it ?

Looking at the heading generator in
https://www.coin-or.org/CppAD/Doc/cmake.htm#generator

Try running
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" ..
and then
make check

[LiviuSandu]

I tried cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" .. It didn't work at all. I received my Visual Studio 14 from a friend (as usual). It must be some pirate copy. I don't try the Express version because I practise some MFC sometimes or build dlls. As far as I know, these things can't be done by Visual Studio Express. As I don't sell any software, there should be no problem. I just want to learn. I happened to find the installation file. The problem is, it is almost 6 GB in size. How can I send it to you? (the file name is tbe_ms_visual_studio_enterprise_x64_x86_with_update1.iso)

If I am going to work on debugging, I want it to be for a system that is freely available on the Web; e.g.
https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/

As I mentioned above, I had some problems with this. I thought perhaps you, or someone else, can figure out the how to run the vcvars.bat file for that system. That part is a Microsoft complication and has nothing to do with CppAD.

[LiviuSandu]

OK. I shall download a Visual Studio Express version and try to install the library there. That means I shall have to run the script. Maybe I can make a comparison.

I thought perhaps you, or someone else, can figure out the how to run the vcvars.bat file for that system. That part is a Microsoft complication and has nothing to do with CppAD. — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

I was able to reproduce this problem using cppad-20170805.gpl.tgz. To be specific, I got the error
C:\Users\bradl\cppad-20170805\build>nmake check

... snip..

I am busy with some other things right now and it may take some time for me to get to this bug. Perhaps if you posted a description on the mailing list, someone else would track it down in the meantime.

Sorry for the long delay:

Please take a look at the heading msys2 and Visual Studio
http://coin-or.github.io/CppAD/doc/cmake.htm#CMake%20Command.msys2
http://coin-or.github.io/CppAD/doc/cmake.htm#CMake%20Command.Visual%20Studio

and see if the methods documented there work for you.
