MSVC2013 c++11 support

You can try to brute force set all the libboost paths. You only need to set the release ones.

I have set now all those that have been reported as not found and the build is running
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/sasobad ... s/23648952 <- seems ok but timed out

But it does not feel as the best solution

“FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR” must be a environment variable. You can set it within a batch file, with set FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR=path_to_libpack

seems to be the same as if I set it for cmake

This happens with what version of the Libpack?

this one https://github.com/apeltauer/FreeCAD/re ... 64_VC15.7z

the issue could be with just properly setting up the appveyor environment, but since appveyor is often timing out on us it probably makes more sense to first try windows builds on travis before spending to much time on fixing and improving this...

I understand that it would be better if it worked without fixed paths. However, is it usable?

Would it be acceptable to use it in its current state, while trying to figure out a better alternative?

You guys are the masters in this. I do not want to rush anybody. Just speak aloud what goes inside my head

If you make a diff between my last version of the new config and the one we currently use on the master you will see that there is not much difference so in general I think it should be ok, the real problem is that it is timing out. Already our current master builds on appveyor sometimes finish an sometimes not and if I remember right apeltauer mentioned that the newer compilers are even a bit slower

current master https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... pveyor.yml
latest cleaned up test https://github.com/sasobadovinac/FreeCA ... pveyor.yml

Ah! I thought that FreeCAD had extra time and that only when you were running it as yourself it timed out.

I read somewhere about extra time, but maybe it was for Travis...

Looking through your appveyor.yml I dont find the line where you set the environment variable for the LibPack?!?

Code: Select all

build_script:
  - cd C:\projects\freecad
  - mkdir build
  - cd build
  - cmake -DFREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR=C:\projects\freecad\FreeCADLibs
    -DBoost_FILESYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE=C:\projects\freecad\FreeCADLibs\lib\boost_filesystem-vc141-mt-x64-1_67.lib
    -DBoost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIBRARY_RELEASE=C:\projects\freecad\FreeCADLibs\lib\boost_program_options-vc141-mt-x64-1_67.lib
    -DBoost_REGEX_LIBRARY_RELEASE=C:\projects\freecad\FreeCADLibs\lib\boost_regex-vc141-mt-x64-1_67.lib
    -DBoost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE=C:\projects\freecad\FreeCADLibs\lib\boost_system-vc141-mt-x64-1_67.lib
    -DBoost_THREAD_LIBRARY_RELEASE=C:\projects\freecad\FreeCADLibs\lib\boost_thread-vc141-mt-x64-1_67.lib
    -DBoost_PYTHON36_LIBRARY_RELEASE=C:\projects\freecad\FreeCADLibs\lib\boost_python36-vc141-mt-x64-1_67.lib
    -DBUILD_FEM_NETGEN=OFF
    -DBUILD_QT5=ON
    -G "%generator%" ..
  - mkdir bin
  - xcopy C:\projects\freecad\FreeCADLibs\bin C:\projects\freecad\build\bin /E /Q
  - msbuild /m FreeCAD_Trunk.sln

Also, i think you should add some time stamps. How long does the download of the libpack take? How long does it take to unzip the pack?
All this takes some time, and the build timeout after 60 minutes, see (Time limitations
All plans have 60 minutes quota per build job. https://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-con ... d-pipeline)
Also how many cpu cores are available?

When you pass the defines for FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR and BUILD_QT5=ON then you actually don't need to set it as environment variable beforehand, do you?
Btw, today I tested cmake 3.14 and when trying to create VS project files it stopped with an error that it couldn't find the C++ compiler. What worked for me is to open a VS2017 x64 terminal window (which sets up all stuff to detect the compiler) and create "Makefile JOM". I handn't any problems finding the boost libs.
