sw_execute not finding CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID

[GitGoliath]

Hi,

I am new to Leptonica, I build on Windows 11 (22H2), with Visual Studio (Version 17.6.4), following the instruction. Install SW client, doing the setup, etc.

When running from VS GUI, the CMakeLists.txt, I get the following error in SWConfig.cmake line 166:

message(FATAL_ERROR "Compiler is not implemented: '${CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID}' or '${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID}'")

I saw in the on git change log that 3 weeks ago the CXX where removed. Could be related...

I had to insert in the CMakeLists.txt the following:

set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID "MSVC")

as sw_execute seems to need it, and the current CMake script I have was not setting it. Possibly from the change 3 weeks ago. Note that the SW Client used is from
[sw-master-windows_x86_64-client.zip] (https://software-network.org/client/sw-master-windows_x86_64-client.zip) from yesterday
13-Jun-2023 21:33

So the current version does not seems to build from windows directly.

An additional note, adding set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID "MSVC") did not resolve the issue. So SW seems to need CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID to be set.

Not sure what you are doing but sw build seems to have no problem on the latest windows:

Humm, another question then, does the automatic test build use CMake, or is it using the Visual Studio CMake?

My setup is pretty clean, but I will try on a virtual machine to see if I can see the same issue. Will get back with the result.

Thanks

@GitGoliath : maybe you can give you step-by-step description how did you get error?

@egorpugin: can you give your insight how to use sw?

Hi,

Was able to reproduce from clean Windows 11 VMWare install.

Here is the step-by-step reproduction of the issue on a clean VMWare Virtual Machine (Windows 11 version 22H2, build 22621.1928:

1- From Clean Windows 11 latest update virtual machine, download Visual Studio Community
2- Launch installation package with admin priviledge (VisualStudioSetup)
3- Select the following options:
- ASP.NET and web development
- Azure Development
- Python development
- Node.js development
- .NET Multi-platform App UI development
- .NET desktop development
- Desktop development with C++
- Mobile development with C++
- Game development with Unity
- Game Development with C++
- Data storage and processing
- Data science and analytical application
4- Download SW client, from https://software-network.org/client/ , version named sw-master-windows_x86_64-client
5- Unzip and copy SW.exe to "C:\SW Client"
6- Launch Command Prompt with Admin Privilege, go to "C:\SW Client", execute command "sw setup"
7- Go to "Advanced system settings" dialog (search it in taskbar), press "Environment Variables" button, in "User variables for User" click "new" and add "C:\SW Client"
8- Launch Visual Studio, and clone Leptonica repository from "https://github.com/DanBloomberg/leptonica.git" into "C:\Git\Leptonica" folder
9- CMake should automatically launch after cloning and I get the line 166 error in SWConfig.cmake from the sw_execute of the Leptonica CmakeLists.txt (line 233).

Here is the output window:

Hi,

Please try to build from command line.
Post your command and output.

Hi,

As being not a expert of CMake command line, I tried the following:

1- got into the git copied repository I got for Leptonica in C:\Git\Leptonica
2- created a "build" directory (since starting from inside the repo gave an error (followed error instructions - line 16)
3- then from "c:\git\Leptonica\build", I launch the same command line as in VS, which give the following (below)

Sorry, did not have time today to investigate why cl.exe compiler was not able to compile with this command line.

Yes, you should resolve this first.
Later you could check with IDE.
