I'm sorry, I can't help you but I'm adding my voice to ask for a step to step explanation to compile coral on windows.

Hi, list! My name is Constantine Tarasenkov, I'm a freelancer and Softimage ICE specialist for two years now. I want to thank all those people and Andrea especially for making Coral! I never saw so clean and full of advanced techniques code in one application! Great work, guys. From now on I will contribute high level nodes for Coral as much as possible.

But before that, can someone help me with build Coral for windows? My first attempt was failed because of lack of knowledge of building process (scons especially)

For example, does scons build program with MinGW? Can it compile Coral for x64 system? Does all libraries should be x64? Because what I can say from the dependencies list scons is x86 only, so it can be installed on python x86 only, - is it means that not all of them should be x64?

Procedural Insight guys, are you here also? :)

Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks!

[Sveinbjörn J. Tryggvason]

Hey, I managed to get it building on an x64 windows system with visual
studio 10 express. It took a while and I'm sad to say I don't remember
all the steps I took (I tried a lot of things and some worked and some
didn't and I'm not really clear anymore what did and didn't) but you
need to have all the libs compiled for x64. I built boost myself,
ilmbase, tbb and glew are available as 64-bit binaries if I remember
correctly. But the thing that was the biggest fix for me was to change
the SConstruct files within 'coral', 'coralUi' and 'imath' (I didn't
build coral for maya) to point explicitly to the correct compiler,
adding to the section:

elif sys.platform.startswith("win"):
...
env["CC"] = r'"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe"'
...

and removing the '/openmp' flag from CXXFLAGS (I am not really clear
if this is something that I should do - but it worked for me).

I hope this is of some help, disorganized as it is.

-Svenni

[Dorian FEVRIER]

Thanks a lot Svenni!

I remember I had give up while I had to compile boost on x64...

So yes, really Constantine, I you are able to write a step by step "How to build coral for Windows", it could really help and I could put it in the wiki. :)

Regards,

Dorian

I would also try to find OpenimageIO from someone who has built it
before. Building it is not nice.

Blender seems to have x64 build of OpenImagIO too:

Hello,

coral depends on many 3rd party libs. It's very difficult to compile
64bit version.
Blender has x64 binaries for them. we used it to build coral. you can
download here:

https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/win64

one only thing, you have to build boost by own for multidhreaded DLL,
python version compatibility.


this is little old info though, I'm happy If this helps you.

[Hiroshi Chiyama]

I did following steps:

1. build bjam with bootstrap.bat

2. build boost using bjam

>bjam link=shared threading=multi address-model=64

that's it :-)

If you success to create python environment, boost-python will built same time.

I like the names of the files so far, "libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_46_1.lib", they're identical to .dll files in coral 0.0.2 build, so I gues "mt" stands there for multithreading

2012/8/10 Constantine Tarasenkov <iam...@gmail.com>

Yep, I guess it should be there. Here is one more site with boost libraries for VC:  http://boost.teeks99.com/

I wonder if they are multithreaded... I hope they are at least

Is it me or there is no boost_python .lib file?

2012/8/9 Constantine Tarasenkov <iam...@gmail.com>

So I finally read the user guide of scons... As I understand, it works only within Visual Studio and use VS compiler? What if I want to build program with use of MinGW-w64? I should use command prompt somehow I guess?

2012/8/9 Constantine Tarasenkov <iam...@gmail.com>

Hello, Constantine

If you are using VisualStudio, then you should start scons from 

StartMenu->MicrosoftVisualStudio->VisualStudioTools->VisualStudio x64 Command Prompt.

Or just run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64 from windows

shell window.

In this case all environment variables (INCLUDES,LIB,PATH,...etc) will be correctly setup for compiling

and linking from command prompt by MSVC.

[Мешалкин Юрий]

Constantine,

are you using 64-bit version of Python?

Hint: For different purposes, I keep 2 version of Python installed on my Windows system:

C:\Python26

C:\Python26-x64

Which one is current, depends of pathname order in PATH variable.

Scons, also has to be installed for x64 version.

I suppose, that there's just one step procedure (described in SCons readme.txt)...

#python setup.py install

Certainly, again -- python.exe must be called from x64 version location.

Are you using dynamic version of OpenEXR?

In my case, I've linked with static version of Iex.lib and Imath.lib on Windows.

e.g. in buildEnv.py I have:

I can't just put "/nodefaultlib:msvcprt" as a linker flag, but also I can't exclude Iex library...

As my goal was to build coral plugin for Maya, I've used tbb, that ships with Maya.

os.environ["CORAL_TBB_INCLUDE_PATH"]="C:/Autodesk/Maya2012/include"

os.environ["CORAL_TBB_LIBS_PATH"]="C:/Autodesk/Maya2012/lib"

Ok, I'll do dynamic linking by specifiing "/MDd" as a CXXFLAGS flag. It seems works too

Yes, I guess it's a dynamic libraries. I've use those:

https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/win64/openexr/vc2010/ 

I found mention on the internet of LNK2005 error:

The library being linked against is expecting a /MT build. If this is a release build, try using /MT instead of /MD for compilation

I'm not compiled it so I guess /MD was used. Oh, well...

It's just a nice name for x64 architecture on Windows, to distinguish it from x86.

Here is no scary connection to AMD processors.

I think, that building SDK is not very necessary (it seems that this step was not tested on Windows)

Try to run buildStandalone.py with flag build-sdk=0

#scons -f  buildStandalone.py build-sdk=0

And it looks, that you already have compiled coral standalone.

Hi Constantine,

Not sure where you stand with this right now, but the build-sdk=1 flag is only necessary when you need to build a new c++ node, all it's supposed to do is copy some headers and dlls over to a convenient folder.
You should first try and compile coral standalone without any flag.

During this process you are required to have some good windows dll linking understanding, I sure had some head hakes myself when compiling coral on Os X.

Hope it helps a bit,
Andrea

Still doesn't run. It can't find libraries that already in place. The most strange thing is that in main or SDK folders there is no .lib files, only .pyd.

Here is the log after "successful" building:

c:\coral-repo>scons -f buildStandalone.py build-sdk=1

Hey guys,
first off I´ve been following coral for a while and I must confess I´m
a huge fan :)

I´m willing to restart my personal project (http://renatopolimeno.com/
m-a-r-s) using coral inside maya and maybe come up with a few rig
compounds.. However, I´ve tried to build coralStandalone by doing
everything described on repo wiki page but unfortunately I could not
complete the installation..
I don´t know what is going on, here is my screen:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32713116/build_coral_rp_problem.jpg

Would someone mind helping me out?

.ps
This is my first time doing such thing (cloning repo, running command
lines from git..)

Thanks in advance,

For as much as it hurts saying that, I would steer away from using coral as the base for your project, simply because nobody is actively maintaining it.
