I am attempting to build a .NET version of pdfbox with Ant. The build fails with the following error message:
BUILD FAILED
C:\Program Files\pdfbox-1.5.0\pdfbox-1.5.0\pdfbox\build.xml:200: srcdir "C:\Program Files\pdfbox-1.5.0\pdfbox-1.5.0\fontbox\src\main\java" does not exist!
Thanks for any help a java developer can give me. Since I'm not a java developer at all, non-cryptic, verbose answers REALLY appreciated.

It looks like you haven't downloaded the entire source code of PDFBox. It includes companion packages Fontbox and Jempbox, the source of which are outside of the PDFBox folder. Given the paths above, you should have the following folders (among others):
C:\Program Files\pdfbox-1.5.0\pdfbox-1.5.0\pdfbox...
C:\Program Files\pdfbox-1.5.0\pdfbox-1.5.0\fontbox...
C:\Program Files\pdfbox-1.5.0\pdfbox-1.5.0\jempbox...
Under each of these folders, there should be a src\main\java... folder structure. If these don't exist, then you've unpackaged the source tar incorrectly, and the build script will fail because it can't find the files that it requires.
I've also found cases where the build script doesn't like spaces in path names, so it might be easier to unzip the source tree to c:\pdfbox... or something.

I want to investigate a new application for JPEG 2000 encoding and decoding. I downloaded openjpeg-master and managed to cobble together the ability to cmake the files. After a bunch of grinding, this resulted in the following output:
"Build files have been written to: C: openjpeg-master/build
\build> "
Any "normal" Unix installations have a multi-step installation like this:
"UNIX/LINUX - MacOS (terminal) - WINDOWS (cygwin, MinGW)
To build the library, type from source tree directory:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make
Binaries are then located in the 'bin' directory.
To install the library, type with root privileges:
make install
make clean
To build the html documentation, you need doxygen to be installed on your system. It will create an "html" directory in TOP_LEVEL/build/doc)
make doc"
But the Windows 10 equivalent is unclear, to put the most charitable spin on it. You can find it here: "https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg/blob/master/INSTALL.md"
Some questions arise:
is there a better starting place for installing JPEG 2000 that actually shows me how to install it and run the tests?
if not, how do I get from the build files to installing the libraries and making the test programs?
Is there more information I can dig out that would help to answer these questions?
Since I'm allergic to Visual Studio, I overlooked a nice tutorial specifying how to install something as complex as openjpeg by direct clone from github. However, in desperation, I found it and it worked. It is Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.8.3. I needed only to use -DTHIRDPARTY to get the third party libraries installed. There is a drop-down menu to build and install OPENJPEG. All I need to do now is figure out how to compile and run the utilities that invoke the installed libraries ...
actually, the complete line to add was -DBUILD_THIRDPARTY:bool=true.
Somewhere in my frantic random search for a way forward, I remember seeing the thought that to make the tests work, I merely need to find files like *.vsproj and run them a separate VS solutions. Some random guesswwork with .vdproj files in src/bin/... hasn't produced anything good. Is there not a document somewhere showing how to run the tests?
VTK_DIR-NOTFOUND is returned when using CMake. I am using CMake GUI and, as other path errors, I can point then to proper path. However, for VTK doesn't work. I am pointing to directory where VTConfig.cmake file and others are. Also tried with all of other VTK dirs but without any sucess. I am using Visual Studio 12 2013 Win 64 configuration for generation but tried with 2010 too.
pointing to path manually,
The first thing I would check is what is the actual find_package() command being invoked where the error occurs? Perhaps that call is something a bit unusual or explicitly has the MODULE keyword (this would prevent the VTKConfig.cmake file from being found).
If that looks okay, check to see if something is modifying the VTK_DIR variable. Insert the following near the top of your top-most CMakeLists.txt file:
variable_watch(VTK_DIR)
This should tell you what, if anything, is modifying it in ways you didn't expect.
Assuming VTK_DIR is not actually being changed, the next thing you could try is setting CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the directory containing the VTKConfig.cmake file (you can add this in the CMake GUI if it isn't there already). Maybe also try variable_watch(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH) too just in case something is modifying that internally in unexpected was as well.
If that still doesn't reveal anything, then it would seem likely that there is something wrong with either your CMake or VTK installation. Perhaps try an earlier CMake version and see if you get any different behaviour.
Although the currently accepted answer is a good way of debugging, it looks like you're building Point Cloud Library (PCL) with the binaries from unancyowen. In which case I suggest ensuring your system environment variables are setup correctly which will automate the process you are currently going through and facilitate the job of the find_package() methods.
Assuming you installed everything in the same directory (i.e. where you have already linked to FLANN and Eigen) the following default PCL 3rd Party Libraries should be added to Path:
C:\Program Files\PCL 1.7.2\3rdParty\FLANN\bin
C:\Program Files\PCL 1.7.2\3rdParty\VTK\bin
C:\Program Files\PCL 1.7.2\3rdParty\Eigen
C:\Program Files\PCL 1.7.2\3rdParty\Boost
Then Qt, OpenNI etc. which are installed separately.
And you can also add:
BOOST_INCLUDEDIR : C:\Program Files\PCL 1.7.2\3rdParty\Boost\include\boost-X_XX\boost (Replace X_XX with your version number)
BOOST_LIBRARYDIR : C:\Program Files\PCL 1.7.2\3rdParty\Boost\lib
BOOST_ROOT : C:\Program Files\PCL 1.7.2\3rdParty\Boost
EIGEN_ROOT : C:\Program Files\PCL 1.7.2\3rdParty\Eigen
In the field where it is showing that
VTK - DIR : NOT FOUND
You can either copy paste the location or type in, or just browse for the file called VTKConfig.cmake. Generally found inside the build folder of VTK. This is how it solved in my case. Have a try!!
I have a Problem which pretty much the bears same anatomy as this post:
Why does MSBuild look in C:\ for Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props instead of c:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild? ( error MSB4019)
Adding the registry (as per the suggestion from Peter Kahn in that other post) did not appear to help, even though it was previously missing. I do have all the files in the correct directory, that is
c:\Program Files (X86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110
See, if I chose following as MSBuildExtensionsPath
MSBuildExtensionsPath32 = C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild
together with the registry
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersion\4.0\VCTargetsPath=$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110
HKLM\SOFTWARE\WoW6432Node\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersion\4.0\VCTargetsPath=$(MSBuildExtensionsPath64)\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110
This should, in theory, end up with the directory where files are stored. But in practice, MSBuild is looking somewhere else:
error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp.props" could not be found.[..]
Even more puzzling: If the $(MSBuildExtensionsPath) is changed to something not in c:\Program Files (X86)\ - for example this:
MSBuildExtensionsPath32 = C:\test\MSBuild
The resulting error message changes and surprisingly, the path is collated properly:
error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\test\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.Cpp.default.props" could not be found.[..]
Interestingly, this file in fact does exist (copied it there..) and it is still not found.
WTH is wrong?
Although I hate as much as anyone else uninstalling and reinstalling stuff, https://stackoverflow.com/a/16213408/239408 worked for me and did not require any troubleshooting...
I have to run two targets in parallel to profile iisexpress.exe using OpenCover.
The link below relates to the information about the issue I am having.
https://github.com/sawilde/opencover/issues/92#issuecomment-5143204
This suggested to me to use Msbuild.ExtensionPack from CodePlex.
I have downloaded the source code of MSBuild Extensions.
I compiled it. I copied the MSBuild.ExtensionPack.tasks tasks file in to folder BuildBinaries.
I added the below lines in my projects files.
I was trying to run the ExecMultipleTasks target. But getting the below error.
error MSB4036: The "MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Framework.Parallel" task was not found. Check the following:
1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class.
2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface.
3.) The task is correctly declared with in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319" directory.
Could you please let me know how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Venkat.
which version of visual studio your application is using ?, if its 32 bit of VS then install 32 bit Extension Pack (MSBuild.Extension.Pack.4.0.12.0.zip\4.0.12.0\x86) else go for 64 bit.
If you open up the file C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\ExtensionPack\4.0\MSBuild.ExtensionPack.tasks ill think you find that the path to the dll for the task MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Framework.Parallel is not correct.
<UsingTask AssemblyFile="$(ExtensionTasksPath)MSBuild.ExtensionPack.dll" TaskName="MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Framework.Parallel"/>
I imagine the variable $(ExtensionTasksPath) does not locate your build path for your version. Either copy the files into that path or change/hardcode the new path.
I can be a real dummy when it comes to following instructions sometimes, pardon me. I'm in a bit of a hurry to get YAML files working with my program. I have downloaded the YAML files from the official site, I have downloaded an installed the latest CMake. What do i do now? I don't understand DLL creation nor the issues that there seem to be.
When I open CMake I put in the path to the extracted yaml-cpp-0.2.7 folder with the yaml-cpp.pc.cmake file and I set up the build path. Is there anything else I should do here? I get this error:
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to ""Visual Studio 9 2008"". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/path/yaml-cpp-0.2.7/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeCCompiler.cmake
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/path/yaml-cpp-0.2.7/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake
Also once i'm done with this what should I do next to be able to launch the example code from the site? Which configuration should I use to be able to launch the file on VS Express 2010? I'm stuck, I can't find answers anywhere.
I have made a mistake here, i tried to get the CMake file going on a computer which didn't have the IDE installed, i installed VC++ 2010 and it works now.
I loaded the yaml-cpp solution into VC++ 2010, bulit it, linked everything and it works fine now.
