Inklecate failed with exit code 1 #88

Closed marekdaniluk closed 2 months ago

marekdaniluk commented 2 months ago

Hi, I am trying to build inkcpp with CMake using instructions from this link. I generated VS2022 solution for Windows and tried to install the library, but an error "Inklecate failed with exit code 1" occurred during inkcpp_test build.

Is this a known issue? How can I fix it?

Hey, this sounds like inklecate is not in your path. The easiest way is to add INKLECATE with value C:\YOUR_PATH\inkcpp\build\unreal\inkcpp\Source\ThirdParty\inklecate\windows\inklecate.exe to your path. Best test it once with %INKLECATE%. Then it should build.

Please keep me updated about your progress.

Also I recognized that the CmakeLists.txt file in the example you linked is outdated. You need CXX_STANDARD 20 instead of CXX_STANDARD 17.

I set %INKLECATE% and it works like a charm, thanks :). Still, would it be possible to add a CMake option to install library without tests or run tests without inklecate?

Nice :) That's a good idea, an option to disable tests and probably also one to disable the inklecate download.

Running tests without inklecate would miss the goal of checking inklecate compatibility.

INKCPP_TEST: bool : default Off: enables test stuff INKCPP_INKLECATE: NONE, OS, ALL: default NONE : download inklecate fou your or all OSs

If TEST and INKLECATE= OS|ALL: use download inklecate automatically for test

If INKLECATE=OS|ALL: Put OS inklecate in the install directory of inkcpp_cl

If you try to install the unreal plugin, generate warning/error if no inklecate is installed
