11 months ago Fixed with #17. The workaround includes adding the following lines to the executable to include the missing DLLs.
if(${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} STREQUAL "Debug")
add_custom_command(TARGET EXECUTABLE_NAME POST_BUILD
# COPY PYTHON RUNTIME DLLS
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
"${Python3_RUNTIME_LIBRARY}"
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:EXECUTABLE_NAME>
# COPY BOOST PYTHON DEBUG DLLS
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
"${Boost_Python_Debug_DLL}"
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:EXECUTABLE_NAME>
# ALSO COPY BOOST PYTHON RELEASE DLLS AS THEY ARE NEEDED FOR RUNTIME
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
"${Boost_Python_Release_DLL}"
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:EXECUTABLE_NAME>
# ALSO COPY ZLIB RELEASE DLLS AS THEY ARE NEEDED FOR RUNTIME
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
"${VCPKG_CORE}/bin/zlib1.dll"
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:EXECUTABLE_NAME>
)
elseif(${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} STREQUAL "Release")
add_custom_command(TARGET EXECUTABLE_NAME POST_BUILD
# COPY PYTHON RUNTIME DLLS
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
"${Python3_RUNTIME_LIBRARY}"
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:EXECUTABLE_NAME>
# COPY BOOST PYTHON RELEASE DLLS
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
"${Boost_Python_Release_DLL}"
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:EXECUTABLE_NAME>
# COPY ZLIB RELEASE DLLS
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_if_different
"${VCPKG_CORE}/bin/zlib1.dll"
$<TARGET_FILE_DIR:EXECUTABLE_NAME>
)
endif()Tested this on CLion IDE as well:
Before fix:
After fix:
The errors that are thrown after fix is related to #16 - but the main point is that the executables now have the missing dll files.
The executables build but upon launching them on Windows we get runtime errors that specific dll files are missing. This is automatically included in our Install definitions in CMake, but for some reason the builds themselves do not contain the specific runtime files.
