Win64 Build with protobuf-mingw build errors

[buddybu]

I am seeing a build error that I will continue to try and figure out, but I could use some help.

Here is the output:

[Ghostkeeper]

It's almost like there is a version incongruency between the header files and the source files it builds Protobuf with or something. Did you try a clean-and-build?

[buddybu]

yes, I actually deleted the build folder and recreated it, twice. With the same error each time.

I had another windows 10 machine hanging around, so I installed Git, VS2015 Community Edition with C++ tools included, CMake, Svn and MinGW564 (masquerading as MinGW). I now get the following error: -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 8.1.0 -- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/MinGW64/mingw64/bin/g++.exe -- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/MinGW64/mingw64/bin/g++.exe -- broken CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.15/Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:53 (message): The C++ compiler

It fails with the following output:

I have saved the cmakefiles folder as a zip file and have attached it.

Is that MinGW installation a proper MinGW-w64 installation? Where did you get it from? It seems to not be able to compile anything, according to CMake. It's not something that is really wrong with cura-build in this case, I think.

[buddybu]

Maybe? Where should I have gotten my MinGW-w64 installation? There are several from which to choose. I think I chose the WinBuilds version.

[Ghostkeeper]

Ah, that's it then. The WinBuilds version is still on GCC 4.8.3 (from May 2014). I've been using the one from MinGW-w64-builds (as listed here), which is currently on GCC 7.2.0 (from August 2017).

CuraEngine requires at least GCC 4.9. However you seem to have trouble before it's even reached that point.

    "" cr CMakeFiles\cmTC_a7ade.dir/objects.a @CMakeFiles\cmTC_a7ade.dir\objects1.rsp
'cr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

@buddybu From this error, you can see that a command is missing here (the empty string ""). The missing command/program is probably ranlib which can be used to create .a static library files. You need to make ranlib and other MinGW toolchain programs available in PATH.

[buddybu]

I was trying to figure out the missing string "", but I am not familiar with the cmake system and how find all of the various parts and pieces. Thank you for the pointer. FWIW, I do have ranlib in my path after reinstalling MinGw-w64 and am building now. I will post any issues.

[buddybu]

I reset my environment, I reinstalled MinGW, and I had to remove the python support from VisualStudio 2019, which I have installed alongside Vs2015. I also removed all vestiges of python from my system. I am now able to build.
