Windows build fail

[jemx]

Hey there,

I tried to compile this project under Windows 10, but sadly wasn't able to do so.

At first glance, Visual Studio tries to compile the project but fails with the following error:

  diffvg.cpp
  CMake Error at diffvg_generated_diffvg.cpp.obj.Release.cmake:280 (message):
    Error generating file
    [...]/diffvg/build/temp.win-amd64-3.8/Release/CMakeFiles/diffvg.dir//Release/diffvg_generated_diffvg.cpp.obj

My enviroment is a Windows 10 with a Python 3.8.5, Annaconda 2020.11, Visual Studio 2019, Visual Studio Build Tool 2017.

Have I missed something? Do you need any more information?

Thanks in advance!

Moving from Visual Studio 2019 back to 2017 fixes this problem; although I suspect the real issue is in CUDA 11.2's broken 2019 integration.

Were you actually able to get it to fully install? Even when I've used VS2019, 2017, Build Tools, etc the module is never fully available after a build :\

[marcdownie]

I did, in fact, get the module built with 2017 --- it is possible!

Did you actually test it? Does it work if you go to diffvg\apps and run python finite_difference_comp.py imgs/tiger.svg ? I can get it to build, but it's not working, I get the same problem as https://github.com/BachiLi/diffvg/issues/12

[surjikal]

In the interim, try a debug build, it worked for me. You'll need to have all the python debug headers & friends installed (there are checkboxes for these in the python installer).

python .\setup.py --debug install

[bfrasure]

how does one target 2017 build?

I think that the cuda pow function is the culprit because the old pow function of cuda has been changed to powf now so if you use old cuda or old visual studio may be you can compile. However, I trace back to the error and found no pow function being used which is weird. Can anyone confirm this?
