Windows Build CubicSDR Errors

[MaxFun]

CMake GUI errors out with ; Could NOT find LIQUID (missing: LIQUID_LIBRARIES LIQUID_INCLUDES) CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message): Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_LIBRARIES wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS gl core propgrid adv base) Call Stack (most recent call first): C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:594 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake:1025 (find_package_handle_standard_args) CMakeLists.txt:175 (find_package)

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred

Do I need to install something else other than wxWidgets, CMake, SoapySDR? They all appeared to install correctly.

You have to fill some of the missing paths youself, while following the Build Windows guide. This guide is pretty much step-by-step, provided you use CubicSDR master and the latest wxWidgets versions.

You may need in CMake-gui to use 'File > Delete cache- to start over your Cubic CMake configuration, as it can happen on Cmake or Visual Studio updates.

[MaxFun]

I did download the latest CubicSDR master and the latest wxWidgets versions. Did find liquid include file in the CubicSDR master and added path after deleted cache, but not LIQUID_LIBRARIES, search computer and no LIQUID LIBRARIES anywhere Did find wxWidgets include and libraries(lib), added path to both after deleted cache.

Configure still fails, see attachments Any suggestions CMake.3.22.1.C-MSVCDev-CubicSDR error 12-18-21.docx CMakeOutput 12-18-21.log ?

These kind of setup should work:

For both Win32/64 hamlib and liquid-dsp, all you have to do is point on the right paths/files provivided in the Cubic external sub-directories where include files and pre-built binaries are provided.

I'll update 'Build Windows' to add some more details about it when I have time.

[MaxFun]

Thanks, I will set my CMake Gui Please scroll down on your GUI and send me a screen shot of the rest of the setup, WX on down. Thanks

The bottom part is about the multiple wxWidgets libs:

As the guide says, setting wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR then Configure should be enough to detect all the libs. If not, add wxWidgets_LIB_DIR manually and do Configure again.

New problem, "Could not find a package configuration file provided by "SoapySDR""

Tried to add SoapySDR_DIR with path C:/SDR/SoapySDR_win64/cmake but there is no cmake folder in my SoapySDR_win64 Tried by adding SoapySDR_DIR with path of C:\MSVCDev\SoapySDR\cmake\Modules which has SoapySDRConfig.cmake in it, but this error out also.

I don't think you are following the Windows guide at that point: it clearly states how to compile SoapySDR first, and how to reference the result when compiling Cubic. The previous screenshots were only about specifying library paths and includes for liquid / Hamlib, and were not to be copied verbatim !

I don't really have much time repeating what the guide says. Just follow it, starting by building SoapySDR properly.

Edit : I've seen your last CMake-gui screenshot. Uncheck the option 'Grouped', it will be clearer. I also updated the Guide accordingly :)

Response was ; Could not find a package configuration file provided by "SoapySDR" Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

You were on such a good path, why did you not continue the Guide instructions, then ? Why on earth do you think the successive Configure are for, if not for filling step-by-step the missing paths ? :)

[MaxFun]

Not sure what your trying to tell me. If the "Guide instructions" are to continue after a "Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!", it would be nice for the "Guide instructions" to indicate an error would occur and to continue. Normally when an error occurs, you stop and fix the error, not continue.

Proceeding on, Set SoapySDR_DIR to C:/MSVCDev/SoapySDR_win64_install/cmake , then Clicked "Configure" Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_LIBRARIES Where do I find"BUILD_INSTALLER' to set it to 1. "BUNDLE_SOAPY_MODS", ........ ?? Or do you mean add variable if not in CMake GUI variable window, which I did then clicked "Configure" Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_LIBRARIES wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS gl core propgrid adv base) Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! That was the last Configure again, all is not good

[MaxFun]

Question; Why not set all variable at once and then only having to click Configure once?

[vsonnier]

Question; Why not set all variable at once and then only having to click Configure once?

It would be possible to dothe same as the Build Linux instructions, yes. I merely completed the guide @cjcliffe started, adding steps and details.

I thought it was the most obvious way, but apparently not :)

See, the CMake configuration is in fact hierarchical, and the CMake-gui tries to hide that and auto-configure the best-effort way:

• It presents a top-level configuration, putting in red the variables that have to fill at that step,
• The next Configure try to continue the configuration, exposing new variables that have in turn to be filled because the previous level variables were properly set, and such variables only exist when the previous level are properly set,
• Repeat.

For the user POV, it translates in a series of Configure where each time the user has to fill some gaps undelined in red in the GUI, until Configure terminates fully.

That is the spirit : be stupid, follow the instructions blindly and everything will be okay.

The drawback: It doesn't work if you try to understand what is going on 😄

[MaxFun]

Thanks, I'll be stupid and start from scratch.

Issue is going stale, close it.
