I'm trying to build some software from ECMWF called ECCODES.
It builds fine on GNU/Linux.
It builds fine on Mac OS X.
It builds fine on Windows/Cygwin.
Unfortunately (Ugh!!), I must use Windows and I can't use Cygwin.
I have to use something like MinGW.
The build instructions use CMake. I am no expert at CMake. The Windows system I am on has:
cygwin64
mingw64
a bare-bones Visual Studio 14
I've tried every incantation and override of the CMake variables/options:
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=... \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=... \
-DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=... \
-DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=... \
-G ...
to get ECCODES to build using MinGW, with no luck. I know some will ask, "Why not contact ECMWF?" The short answer is, the response time is very long (months/years). The FAQ page is empty, and you can't post questions on their Jira site (it's locked).
Would it be possible for someone who knows CMake and MinGW well to download the .tar.gz, build ECCODES using MinGW, and tell us how you did it?

I'm trying to get cmake working on msys2. I try to compile some code that I've been given for another project and:
CMake Error: Could not create named generator MSYS Makefiles
I've found this thread and this thread and tried to follow the instructions...only to realize that the wiki that the threads eventually link back to never states where msys stores toolchains. Googling around didn't really help.
Even more oddly, the program that I'm trying to use somehow runs and produces valid data despite throwing an error due to the missing cmake. I don't get it.
I've never used msys before; as someone who's brand new to msys2/cygwin and can't even understand the lingo, how do I get cmake installed and working?
Sounds like you are specifying a -G "MSYS Makefiles" as the CMake generator, but CMake doesn't recognize that generator. When I use CMake on msys2 I just use the default Unix Makefiles generator and everything works just fine. Also, on my current msys2 install, CMake doesn't seem to have a MSYS Makefile generator that I can see (running cmake --help will list the available generators). Try running cmake without the -G option. Also, make sure make is installed first via pacman -Sy make.
I'm trying to use CppUTest in Windows, first step is to get it to work and I already have problems. These are the things I've tried:
First Approach
With CMake, using the cmake GUI I can do the configure and generate command and I get something in the output directory, but no binaries and no libraries, just a bunch of cmakefiles. The CMake GUI says everything went OK during the configuration and generation steps, however the libraries (.lib files) are not generated in the output directory... is there something I am missing? I've never used CMake before.
Second approach
With MinGW and msys alone, running cmd in Windows and executing a MinGW shell by typing sh in the Windows terminal, afterwards I execute the following commands:
cd <CppUTest folder>
mount c:\mingw /mingw
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
The build process starts but it fails with a message indicating that pthread.h was not found in MinGW directory. If I install the pthread-win32 package with the MinGW package manager and repeat the same steps as above the build process starts but fails with a message indicating that the structure timespec is defined in time.h and pthread.h.
I've tried to follow this same procedure with CppUTest 3.6 and it works perfectly fine, I get the .lib files, so I guess I will have to continue with this for now.
Does anyone know how to build CppUTest 3.7 (latest release) with MinGW or CMake?
In the end I used Cygwin to compile it, I couldn't find a way to compile it with MinGW properly, I added a dirty trick to make it compile under MinGW (handled the timespec redifinition) but chances are that is going to cause issues.
Just make sure that you use Cygwin aswell to compile your tests, something that I found out after making this question (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVmd0P85D8o).
I've tried official howto but failed. I got error:
"The procedure entry point InterlockedCompareExchange#12 could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll"
The problem was due the old gcc compiler, bundled with DevKit from rubyinstaller.org (4.5 vs 4.8 on my PC). Use MSYS instead. Assume we have zeromq source inside D:\libs\zeromq, then the procedure is:
Download GUI MinGW installer.
Install base and MSYS (if you already have working gcc compiler you probably only need MSYS).
Launch MSYS environment by executing C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat.
Follow Using MSYS with MinGW section:
mount c:/mingw /mingw
cd /d/libs/zeromq
./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
Copy /d/libs/zeromq/src/.libs/libzmq.dll to your desired place.
In fact I needed to use ZeroMQ with C++, so I downloaded zmq.hpp, moved it to include directory, and compiled hwserver.cpp to test it:
C:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe -o hwserver hwserver.cpp -L. -lzmq -ID:\libs\zeromq\include
It worked, but when I launch it I got:
Assertion failed!
Program: D:\tmp\zmq\hwserver.exe
File: D:\libs\zeromq\include/zmq.hpp, Line 280
Expression: rc == 0
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I've managed to get rid of this failure by commenting lines 279, 280. Similar issue
This has been asked here before but I couldn't find a solution which works for me.
Sample CMakeLists.txt file for LLVM project - This was the original question.
However, there are a couple of issues I am facing when making a project with LLVM.
Platform: Windows 7
Compiler: MingW
1) Firstly, I am using the svn version of llvm which is currently at 3.1. Currently, Binaries for MingW are not present for llvm 3.0 too so I decided to go with the latest itself and build it with mingw. So although the build works fine, I cannot seem to find the llvm-config perl script in the bin folder. I tried searching the entire dir yet I can only find an llvm-config folder and a dependencies file.
2) I tried building llvm for Visual studio 2010 yet that didn't work with cmake so I had to use MingW.
3) Now, this is sequence in which I add libs to CMake -
LLVMXCoreInfo
LLVMMipsAsmPrinter
LLVMMipsCodeGen
LLVMMipsInfo
LLVMMBlazeAsmPrinter
LLVMMBlazeCodeGen
LLVMMBlazeInfo
LLVMLinker
LLVMipo
LLVMInterpreter
LLVMInstrumentation
LLVMJIT
LLVMExecutionEngine
LLVMMC
LLVMBitWriter
LLVMX86Disassembler
LLVMX86AsmParser
LLVMX86AsmPrinter
LLVMX86CodeGen
LLVMX86Info
LLVMAsmParser
LLVMARMAsmParser
LLVMMCParser
LLVMARMAsmPrinter
LLVMARMCodeGen
LLVMARMInfo
LLVMArchive
LLVMBitReader
LLVMSelectionDAG
LLVMAsmPrinter
LLVMCodeGen
LLVMScalarOpts
LLVMInstCombine
LLVMTransformUtils
LLVMipa
LLVMAnalysis
LLVMTarget
LLVMMC
LLVMCore
LLVMSupport
imagehlp
psapi
m
4) However, adding InitializeNativeTarget(), starts giving me linking errors which I think come because of the dependencies not being in right order.
5) I want to use the llvm_map_components_to_libraries(REQ_LLVM_LIBRARIES jit native) and hence I added this to my CMakeLists.txt
INCLUDE(cmake/LLVM-Config.cmake)
However, this doesn't work. CMake Error at cmake/LLVM-Config.cmake:141 (message):
Library `jit' not found in list of llvm libraries.
Now, the question is really too long but I basically wanted to ask what is the best way to do this in CMake. Could someone post the entire thing (for windows).
Also, is there a way to build it for VS 2010. I tried the instructions on CLang site but those gave me this error in CMake.
" string sub-command REGEX, mode MATCH needs at least 5 arguments total to command."
I really need some help figuring out how to get dependencies to work in llvm and for it to build with VS. I would really appreciate some help.
I am trying to use vtune with my application compiled with mingw in Windows.
When I try to see souce code information, vtune says the is not line information in the resulting executable. I am compiling with -g option so I dont know where is the problem. So the questions are:
Is it possible to profile with a program compiled with mingw in windows? It looks like all is ready for MS-VC, but not for mingw.
If so, is it needed to change the object format (coff, xcoff, DWARF, ....)?
maybe if someone post an example it would be valuable.
Solved, compiled with
-gstabs -g3
