[Gmat-developers] Error when running config.py when building 2020a

[Michael Buksas]

Hi all,

I'm following the build instructions as described in the wiki on a
Windows 10 system. I'm encountering an error in the dependency
configuration step.

Running "python config.py" in the depends directory results in the
following:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\..\..\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat"
x86_amd64 & set > vsEnvironment.txt
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

'dll', 'vc' + wxtype + 'dll')
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file
specified: 'vc141_x64_dll' -> 'vc_x64_dll'

There are other successful steps in between, but they aren't repeated on
subsequent attempts. Just the text above appears.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi Mike,

What version and bitness of Visual Studio (VS) are you using? It looks to me like the 64 bit dlls of VS were not located so I suspect the version of Visual Studio you are using may not meet current build requirements for GMAT.

But, I'm far from an expert on resolving compiler issues, so I CC'd the experts!

Hi Steve,

I had VS 2019 instead of VS 2017 installed. I installed VS 2017 Express
version 15.9.27, which appears to only be available in 32 bit. Some
progress has been made, but the error in wxWidgets configuration remains.

I removed and re-unzipped the source directory, and ran config.py again.
Here's the output on a second try:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\..\..\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat"
x86_amd64 & set > vsEnvironment.txt
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I solved the issue in my last email. For interested observers, the root
cause is that config.py does not search for the Express version of
VS2017, only the Enterprise, Commercial and Community versions.

The wiki page of build directions
(https://gmat.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GW/pages/380273355/Compiling+GMAT+CMake+Build+System)
explicitly mentions the Express version in the requirements. Perhaps
that could be changed.

Cheers,

Mike
