Issues with the Build Project Process via Command Line

[Raj Patel]

Hi, 

I am trying to get Basilisk working on my Windows device. I get the following errors in Command Prompt when I run the following command: 

(venv) $ python conanfile.py

I think the issue is with "dist3". It seems like I do not have a "dist3" folder in the version of basilisk I cloned from Bitbucket using Sourcetree. I've repeated the installation process multiple times, but I always get the same issue.

Thanks,

Raj Patel

Hello Raj,

dist3 is a folder generated during a Basilisk build, and as such is not captured in the BSK version control system. So it makes sense that you can't find it anywhere prior to build.

I'm not familiar with the Windows build process but I would try the two-step approach of running python conanfile.py --buildProject False first, and then look for the dist3 folder that should have been created. The second step should be to run make or make -j from inside the dist3 directory.

This could help you catch the root cause for dist3 not being created in the first place

Hi Benjamin, 

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, when I run the "python conanfile.py --buildProject False" command I get the same error. Do you recommend building Basilisk on Linux instead of Windows using a tool like VirtualBox?

Thanks,

Hello Raj, 

Could you look into the CMakeOutput.log file that's mentionned at the top of the terminal window share ? It should have more information about the ZeroMQ build failure. I think this is the root cause for dist3 not being created, as the failed ZMQ build may have caused the whole bsk compilation process to derail.

Hi Benjamin, 

I looked in the CMakeOutput.log file and I word searched for "ZeroMQ" and "dist3" but there are no results for those. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for in this file. I've attached it to this message, hopefully you have a better idea of what to look for. 

I really appreciate the help,

Raj
