Erreur while configuring the project if I let Radium fetching the dependencies by itself

[Beafantles]

OS: Windows 10 64 bits version 2004 Compiler: Visual Studio 16 2019 (v16.8.5) CMake version: 3.19.4 Ninja version: 1.10.2 Radium-Engine version: I used one of the latest version of Radium, from 9th February (commit 537caae2cf52d36c61864659515ff2aa88fbe242).

I don't have problems building Radium-Engine if I build the dependencies manually before configuring Radium-Engine (and specify them with -Dlib_DIR options), as it is done by the CI system. I have an error if I let Radium-Engine fetching the dependencies by itself though. Indeed, if I run the following command:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -GNinja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=cl.exe -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=cl.exe -DQt5_DIR=E:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\lib\cmake\Qt5 ..

I get the following error message:

If I don't use Ninja for the configuration, I still have an error, but a different one. Here's the command I tried:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DQt5_DIR=E:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\lib\cmake\Qt5 ..

And here's the error I get:

CMake Error at Bundle-MSVC/lib/cmake/assimp-5.0/assimpTargets.cmake:85 (message):
  The imported target "assimp::assimp" references the file

     "E:/src/Radium-Engine/Bundle-MSVC/lib/assimp-vc142-mtd.lib"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "E:/src/Radium-Engine/Bundle-MSVC/lib/cmake/assimp-5.0/assimpTargets.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

It seems like it tries to use a Debug version for the Assimp lib, despite the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release (as the d suffix for the .lib file seems to point out). "E:/src/Radium-Engine/Bundle-MSVC/lib/assimp-vc142-mt.lib" exists but "E:/src/Radium-Engine/Bundle-MSVC/lib/assimp-vc142-mtd.lib" does not.

Thanks for the report. This issue is expected to be fixed by #684, merged in master at a50a3b4 (tag: https://github.com/STORM-IRIT/Radium-Engine/tree/2021-02-10).

Could you please try again if confirm the problem has been fixed ?

Alright so I ran git pull and tried configuring the project with both commands once again (cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -GNinja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=cl.exe -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=cl.exe -DQt5_DIR=E:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\lib\cmake\Qt5 .. and cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DQt5_DIR=E:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\lib\cmake\Qt5 ..). Unfortunaly, both of them ended up with an error, the same one:

CMake Error at Bundle-MSVC/lib/cmake/assimp-5.0/assimpTargets.cmake:85 (message):
  The imported target "assimp::assimp" references the file

     "E:/src/Radium-Engine/Bundle-MSVC/lib/assimp-vc142-mtd.lib"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "E:/src/Radium-Engine/Bundle-MSVC/lib/cmake/assimp-5.0/assimpTargets.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

The error message when using Ninja has changed.

Did you erase the cmake cache and build directories before configuring and building again ?

[Beafantles]

Yes, I deleted everything contained in the build directory.

[nmellado]

I switch to bug suspected until we can reproduce this behavior.

[dlyr]

let's say dependencies have to be build beforehand, @nmellado do you agree ? if yes just close the issue
