Building Libs for Windows Debug Version with VS2017/Qt5.12

[apeltauer]

Thanks Werner for testing.
The speed issue I will check again and bring some numbers. Btw. I also tried to use the ninja compiler...

With the cmake config files, I just have understood what to do. I will check this tomorrow...

[wmayer]

At the moment my local build lacks of shiboken/PySide support but this is what I look next.

Your libpack lacks of the PySide2 and shiboken2 config cmake files. Can you attach them to this thread, please?

[apeltauer]

I will try to update the libpack with all the cmake files and upload it again...

Actually I don't need these files because it's very easy to create them manually. Inside the Libpack under cmake create the file Shiboken2Config.cmake with this content

Code: Select all

SET(SHIBOKEN_INCLUDE_DIR ${FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR}/include/shiboken2)
SET(SHIBOKEN_LIBRARY     optimized ${FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR}/lib/shiboken2.cp37-win_amd64.lib debug ${FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR}/lib/shiboken2_d_d.cp37-win_amd64.lib)

and the file PySide2Config.cmake with this content:

Code: Select all

SET(PYSIDE_INCLUDE_DIR ${FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR}/include/PySide2)
SET(PYSIDE_LIBRARY     optimized ${FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR}/lib/pyside2.cp37-win_amd64.lib debug ${FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR}/lib/pyside2_d.cp37-win_amd64_d.lib)
SET(PYSIDE_PYTHONPATH  ${FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR}/pyside/Lib/site-packages)
SET(PYSIDE_TYPESYSTEMS ${FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR}/pyside/share/PySide/typesystems)

Currently the clbunder has some special handling for the PCL stuff which could be simplified too. Therefore create the file PCLConfig.cmake with (rename that one pcl has generated because it's not easy to use anyway because it messes up our boost handling):

Code: Select all

Now the next step is to build the external smesh as IMO that's easier than to build the med and hdf5 libraries. The external smesh has an option to disable the med file format.
You will find the source code here: https://github.com/LaughlinResearch/SMESH
The external smesh requires the pthread library which you can get from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pthreads4w/files/
When building it you can create the static version with nmake realclean VC-static or the shared version with nmake realclean VC. The created library must then be renamed to pthreads.lib so that smesh finds it.

When configuring smesh with cmake follow all the instructions until it succeeds.

I created VS2017 projects and built them on the command line with:
msbuild SMESH.sln /m and msbuild SMESH.sln /m /p:Configuration=Release

The build stopped several times because some header files lacked of the std:: prefix for some functions. I had to fix the files:
occgeom.hpp, spline.hpp and for NETGENPlugin_Mesher.cxx I had to disable the whole function NETGENPlugin_Mesher::toPython because of some undefined << operators. Btw, this function is useless anyway because it only would work under Linux as it tries to write to /tmp.

Now the last failure is that the file ngexception.hpp cannot be found and it indeed is not part of the libpack. When I create a dummy file the compilation continues but at the very end I get a couple of linker errors. This is because the built netgen version doesn't export some needed functions and it needs quite a lot of manual changes to get netgen working as required.

So far almost all smesh libraries can be built, only the NetgenPlugin fails.

These are the linker errors:

FreeCAD's cmake has the option to choose between boost.python and pybind11. However, the libpack doesn't offer the file pybind11Config.cmake.

[wmayer]

I think it is here https://github.com/qt/qtwebkit, and it's a typo in the branch name.

Right now I am busy trying to build QtWebkit. As very first step you need the sources from above and the utilities bison & flex, GPerf, Grep, perl, python2 and ruby. When running cmake then it step-by-step gives a list of needed libraries which are:
Qt5, ICU, jpeg, libxml2, libxslt, png, sqlite and zlib. See also: https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.5/windo ... ments.html

1. Download https://sqlite.org/2019/sqlite-amalgamation-3270200.zip and set the environment variable SQLITE3SRCDIR that points to the sqlite source directory
2. Build libxml2 following the instructions here: https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2/blob/m ... Readme.txt
3. Build libxslt following the instructions here: https://github.com/GNOME/libxslt/blob/m ... Readme.txt
4. When running configure the first time then it fails with an error that a port must be defined. Set PORT to Qt and re-run configure
5. Configure may complain about that some of the tools bison, flex, gperf, ... cannot be found. Set the path to the executable
6. Set the cmake path to the Qt module
7. Once configure succeeds copy all ICU libs to the lib64 of the build directory. This is needed because cmake doesn't set the path name for most ICU libs but only the file name.
8. msbuild WebKit.sln /m /p:Configuration=Release

After a while the build process stops with an error:

I am not sure if this has something to do with the qdoc.exe that fails to start. It says it cannot find the file api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-0.dll
Here is some background information: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forum ... ncore-dlls
To continue I have copied the qdoc.exe from a Qt5.9 installation which is doable because it doesn't depend on any Qt libraries.

Now after several hours of compiling it stopped with these errors:

The errors in jpegimagedecoder.cpp can be easily fixed by adding:

Code: Select all

#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0

Adding the define _DISABLE_EXTENDED_ALIGNED_STORAGE to the affected source files didn't fix the errors. But adding this line

Code: Select all

add_definitions(-D_DISABLE_EXTENDED_ALIGNED_STORAGE)

to the file qtwebkit\Source\WebCore\CMakeLists.txt solved it.

The failure of cmd.exe is caused by the missing file C:/Docs/Qt-5.12.1/global/qt-module-defaults.qdocconf. The libpack doesn't have this and the other qdocconf files but copying them from the Qt source tarball to the destination fixes the error.

However, now there are more than 2400 new failures with an error of the form:

sourceError': an undefined class is not allowed as an argument to compiler intrinsic type trait '__is_assignable' (compiling source file C:\Te
mp\build\DerivedSources\WebKit2\WebPageMessageReceiver.cpp) [C:\Temp\build\Source\WebKit2\WebKit2.vcxproj]

Apparently this failure is caused by a compiler bug in VS2017: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189987

Thanks Werner for all the work...

Right now I am busy trying to build QtWebkit. As very first step you need the sources from above and the utilities bison & flex, GPerf, Grep, perl, python2 and ruby. When running cmake it step-by-step gives a list of needed libraries which are:
Qt5, ICU, jpeg, libxml2, libxslt, png, sqlite and zlib.

For ICU see here: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5_ICU

Then I found another oddity: the debug version area_d.pyd links against the release version of boost-python instead of the debug version.

solved this by adding this

Code: Select all

  set (BOOST_COMPONENTS ${BOOST_COMPONENTS} python37)

But maybe there is a smarter solution...
