cmake error when building on windows

[limymy]

I am trying to use proxsuite via cmake 'FetchContent' command. But something wrong.

[cmake] fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Please help me figure it out. Thanks.

Hi @LiMYmy,

This is working on my side perfectly on OSX systems with cmake 3.24.2. Could you provide your cmake version? @fabinsch Could you try on a virtual windows system?

[limymy]

Could you provide your cmake version?

Mine is 3.22.1 . I upgrade cmake to version 3.25.1 just now, but it has the same error.

Now I am using it via conda install which performs well.

By the way, when will #47 be done, or how can I make a bound box in current version?

[jcarpent]

I've fixed an issue here https://github.com/jrl-umi3218/jrl-cmakemodules/pull/572

[jcarpent]

By the way, when will #47 be done, or how can I make a bound box in current version?

Just use C = Identity for adding the bounds on the optimization variables.

[jcarpent]

@LiMYmy Could you try your cmake fetch with:

• URL: https://github.com/jcarpent/proxsuite
• commit_id: faee80b

It works! No error when running cmake. But when I try to build it has error occurred.

I don't want to build the doc, so how can I disable doxygen?

[limymy]

Can u and l have different dimension? I already have an u, now I want to apply a bound box on x.

[jcarpent]

They should have the same dimension of course. This is written in the doc.

[jcarpent]

Please look at the examples ...

[limymy]

They should have the same dimension of course. This is written in the doc.

I am new to QP and I have read the doc. But I don't know how to make an upper bound without a lower bound in l C u.

[fabinsch]

if you have no lower bound you can set the l value to something really low: l = -1.0e20 * np.ones(m) where m is the same size as u and the first dimension of C.

[limymy]

if you have no lower bound you can set the l value to something really low: l = -1.0e20 * np.ones(m) where m is the same size as u and the first dimension of C.

Get it! Thanks!

I've updated the current PR. Could you try with this commit id d3696cc32229beef906907a1c3e9e0d6779e498b?

[jcarpent]

If you can also share you current CMake project to try on my side?

Error is the same.

I created a repo. There is a doxygen(version 1.9.1) in my pc. Will it be the problem?

Provide the full log file otherwise.

Use the latest cmake file and this is the full log.

[build]   Copyright Dimitri van Heesch 1997-2021
[build]   
[build]   You can use doxygen in a number of ways:
[build]   
[build]   1) Use doxygen to generate a template configuration file:
[build]       C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe [-s] -g [configName]
[build]   
[build]   2) Use doxygen to update an old configuration file:
[build]       C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe [-s] -u [configName]
[build]   
[build]   3) Use doxygen to generate documentation using an existing configuration file:
[build]       C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe [configName]
[build]   
[build]   4) Use doxygen to generate a template file controlling the layout of the
[build]      generated documentation:
[build]       C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe -l [layoutFileName]
[build]   
[build]       In case layoutFileName is omitted layoutFileName.xml will be used as filename.
[build]       If - is used for layoutFileName doxygen will write to standard output.
[build]   
[build]   5) Use doxygen to generate a template style sheet file for RTF, HTML or Latex.
[build]       RTF:        C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe -w rtf styleSheetFile
[build]       HTML:       C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe -w html headerFile footerFile styleSheetFile [configFile]
[build]       LaTeX:      C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe -w latex headerFile footerFile styleSheetFile [configFile]
[build]   
[build]   6) Use doxygen to generate a rtf extensions file
[build]       RTF:   C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe -e rtf extensionsFile
[build]   
[build]       If - is used for extensionsFile doxygen will write to standard output.
[build]   
[build]   7) Use doxygen to compare the used configuration file with the template configuration file
[build]       C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe -x [configFile]
[build]   
[build]   8) Use doxygen to show a list of built-in emojis.
[build]       C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\mingw\tools\install\mingw64\bin\doxygen.exe -f emoji outputFileName
[build]   
[build]       If - is used for outputFileName doxygen will write to standard output.
[build]   
[build]   If -s is specified the comments of the configuration items in the config file will be omitted.
[build]   If configName is omitted 'Doxyfile' will be used as a default.
[build]   If - is used for configFile doxygen will write / read the configuration to /from standard output / input.
[build]   
[build]   -v print version string

error : configuration file E:/mycode/proxqp/build/_deps/proxsuite-build/doc/Doxyfile not found! There really isn't a Doxyfile. Can I just disable this doxygen task since I don't need it? Add set(INSTALL_DOCUMENTATION OFF CACHE INTERNAL "") has no effect.

[jcarpent]

It should be working now with the new commit 5b423f6e67ea1dd63357f9a79787aa9cef9c4dc1

Works well! Thanks a lot! I have noticed that you are also working with pinocchio library which use jrl-cmakemodules too. Could you help improving the build of proxsuite and pinocchio together with cmake FetchContent command? Or rather It's hard to do because jrl-cmakemodules is not designed for that?

[jcarpent]

As noticed by @nim65s in #149, the jrl-cmakemodules is not designed for that at the beginning. @nim65s Do you have any idea on how to change the module to allow fetching?

[nim65s]

The best solution would be to get that module only once. I'll work on an example later in the day.

[nim65s]

I can't get this work right now, there is way too much work, because different project will require different config headers, might have different project settings, etc.

Sorry @LiMYmy, but for now, if you want to use multiple projects of ours, you'll need to use multiple git clone / cmake / make / make install, or a package manager.

Don't be sorry, I realize that it is a large project. It is very kind of you to help me so much. I will use conda on windows because there are too many dependencies. Maybe you could make jrl-cmakemodules more flexible such as completely disabling doxygen which confuses me a lot.

[jcarpent]

@nim65s Thanks a lot for the deep investigation.
