Windows install issue

[Earl Fairall]

Hi everyone,

I have installed dealii on my windows machine, and it went smoother than expected; however, I am having an issue compiling the examples.

I followed this instruction set:
https://github.com/dealii/dealii/wiki/Windows

Steps 1-6 work great. I see the .sln.

Step 7 fails when I tried to build "example step-1" in Visual Studio.

I think this is the same problem Hilbertdotx is having at the end of the thread here:
https://github.com/dealii/dealii/issues/1921

Here is the exact message coming out of Visual Studio 2017 build logs:

1>------ Build started: Project: step-1, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
1>LINK : C:\dealii-master\examples\step-1\Debug\step-1.exe not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link
1>LINK : the 32-bit linker (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.12.25827\bin\HostX86\x64\link.exe) failed to do memory mapped file I/O on `C:\dealii-master\build\lib\deal_II.g.lib' and is going to restart linking with a 64-bit linker for better throughput
1>LINK : failed to locate a 64-bit linker on %PATH%; continue the current linking

The build didn't technically fail, but it appears to have gone into an infinite loop. It shouldn't take 20+ minutes to build right???? Is this easier to run through a cmd prompt?

Thanks for your help.

For the record, "step-1.exe" does exist in the debug directory; however it appears to be corrupted.

I also tried this command from x64 Native Tools Command Prompt VS2017, but I am not sure if the syntax is correct:

cmake $ make run step-1

logs confirm it is building, but say nothing about it running.

The message " is going to restart linking with a 64-bit linker for
better throughput" sounds like you are not using x64 tooling. Are you
using "set PreferredToolArchitecture=x64" in step 6?

Yes, I read an article that suggested maybe v/s isn’t configured correctly. I’m looking into that.  will report back

Success?

I'd love to tell you how I did it, but I'm not entirely sure! So many buttons have been clicked at this point...... HOWEVER, a few things any lurkers can try are this:

1.) On the 2017 Visual Studio Task Bar: TEST>TEST SETTINGS> DEFAULT PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE> X64

2.) My error logs seemed to indicate V/S couldn't find the X64 linker.exe, so I added those files to the path to search in. To do that: Go to DEBUG on the task bar. Select the file PROPERTIES. A property window pops up. Under the CONFIGURATION PROPERTIES dropdown, select VC++ Directories. Click EXECUTABLE DIRECTORIES. Add your link file locations to the directory list. For me, that location was:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.12.25827\bin\Hostx64\x64

and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.12.25827\bin\Hostx64\x86

3.) Set project as startup project: Right click STEP-X > SET AS STARTUP PROJECT

Is this supposed to be happening??????

what a day...time for a beer

cheers everyone
