Building Qucs using Cmake within QtCreator creates an error at 61% progress. It's not clear to me whether it's something in my setup (most likely) or a real issue?

I tried to to bypass the Adms topic, but was not successfull. To get the Adm-executable built I was using my cygwin setup (because it compiled it already in the past) and gave the path to cmake.

OS: Windows7 build_environment: qtcreator312, qt486, cmake362 amds: admsXml build with cygwin (!)

qucs-core building with CMake seems to be broken on all platforms. But qucs-gui could be successfully built with CMake. The simplest way for Windows is usage of MSYS2+autotools. It seems there is no exact build instruction. Look into https://github.com/Qucs/qucs/blob/master/.appveyor.yml and you can extract build commands form here.

If you are considering taking part in Qucs development, consider migration of development subsystem to Linux platform, because GNU tools for Windows may be buggy and poor documented.

[in3otd]

The build instructions for Windows with MSYS2+autotools on the wiki should be up to date... if these need to be adjusted, please help updating them :grin:

[ldpgh]

Getting Qucs-Gui built is my goal at the moment. QtCreator with graphical GDB-wrapper as cross-platform tool is what I like to have on both platforms.

Any hint how to jump over the hurdle to keep the focus on Qucs-Gui exclusively? Where the missing file comes from? Could my AdmsXml.exe@cygwin be the issue? What's the recommended Linux-Distro in case of Qucs?

@in3otd I was able to build Qucs (-g) using MSYS2+autotools according to the wiki. The gdb-commandline use was just to debug a crash. Btw. it's more an use-case issue. After make install Qucs need to be started from the mingw64.exe window. Looks like a DLL topic ... an appropriate PATH setting may fix it. But it was just a test compile.

[ra3xdh]

You don't need ADMS to build Qucs-GUI only. You can even open qucs/qucs/CMakeLists.txt as a project in QtCreator and it will build Qucs without qucsator. It works for Linux and should work for Windows, if tools are configured properly. You can use any Linux distribution with Qt4 and C++ development kit. For example, Debian will be good choice. Other distributions also have no problems.

[in3otd]

@ldpgh FYI, we do copy some DLLs to build binary user packages (see the AppVeyor script here) and these may also be needed to start Qucs outside of the shell, if you do not have them in the path.

[ldpgh]

@in3otd: My thought was towards the cygwin DLL's , but what you write is more likely.

Have Qucs-core disabled (changed to comment in CmakeList.txt) ... rebuild cmake and compile ... and gdb stops at the desired location :-)

ra3xdh: "qucs-core building with CMake seems to be broken on all platforms." ... this means to me qucs-core is treated in a different issue. There is no need to have a redundant issue open.

Close this issue with my focus just on Qucs-gui.

[guitorri]

For the record, CMake for qucs-core is working just fine for OSX 10.9.5 (tried release-0.0.19 branch just now).

@ldpgh The error seems to be related to admsXml. C++ files are not being generated for the Verilog-A modules. Indeed please open another issue if want to further build the core.

@ra3xdh please open an issue if you find CMake to be broken in another platforms.

[ra3xdh]

@guitorri , I have tested CMake just now. Qucsator was successfully compiled. It seems CMake is operational. Previously I have tried to build Qucsator with CMake last year and there were problems.

[guitorri]

Ok. Thanks for the update.
