Pip dependencies installation got failed.

[Rishi1395]

I need someone's help with this. Please help me to figure out why my Pip Dependencies installation is failing even though I tried adding the visual studio path to my environment variables path user variable according to @henrypearce4D; C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\bin\Hostx64\x64

I get this in cmd. C:\Users\Rishi's PC\gaussian-splatting>conda env create --file environment.yml Retrieving notices: ...working... done Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done Solving environment: done

I am facing the same issue.

[mrtnvr]

same here

If you are getting this error fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'crtdefs.h': No such file or directory Try this solution https://github.com/graphdeco-inria/gaussian-splatting/issues/148 Basically adding this to path also. Worked for me first it was cl.exe it was solved via adding path then this crtdefs.h

[Snosixtyboo]

Quick note: I actually encountered this exact error myself recently. Not with this project, but when trying to build Instant NGP on a PC that hadn't been updated in some time. A good idea if the error message is cryptic and not covered by the tutorials: update the involved software. Updating Visual Studio to the latest version worked for me in this case.

If you are getting this error fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'crtdefs.h': No such file or directory Try this solution #148 Basically adding this to path also. Worked for me first it was cl.exe it was solved via adding path then this crtdefs.h

Yes try adding as many paths as possible, it fixed my issue on another machine;

I'll give this a try

[Rishi1395]

Okay, I tried this also but was not able to get it fixed. Do you mind connecting with me on Discord and helping me out?

[sunhoro]

Guys make sure "MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ ARM64...." is added to VS2019.

Then add crtdefs.h and cl.exe to the PATH. It was: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\include C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\bin\Hostx64\x64

Then make sure to restart the computer. Doing all these worked for me.

[Rishi1395]

It still fails for me. Idk where am I going wrong right now. I need someone to guide me through screen share or TeamViewer.

[smallfly]

I encountered these issues on two of my computers. I've tried everything and followed all the suggestions I found here (such as #146): VS 2019 is up to date, all necessary packages are installed, PATH is correctly defined, etc., but I was still facing these errors.

What solved the issue for me was:

• Activating my Conda environment.
• Installing the vs2019_win-64 package.

conda install -c anaconda vs2019_win-64

This package is a metapackage that ensures that the Visual Studio 2019 build tools are available and sets the necessary environment variables

Guys, do what smallfly says. It worked! Almost unexpectedly at this point. Thanks!

[jbienz]

I already had VS2022 installed and didn't want to install VS2019. The meta package was the last missing piece for me as well since it appears to tell conda where to find the system include files. Of course, I needed one for 2022 rather than 2019.

For anyone else who comes looking for it, this is the one that worked for me:

conda install -c conda-forge vs2022_win-64

[Overmindss]

OMG thank you my hero 👍

For my environment with VS2022, this worked! No install error.

[Sabisisi]

Worked for me too! I updated the environment according to the environment.yml file afterwards to make sure nothing was uninstalled:

After unsuccessfully running: conda env create --file environment.yml

following Smallfly's steps:

conda activate gaussian_splatting conda install -c anaconda vs2019_win-64 then conda env update --file environment.yml

Thank you!!

I don't use conda but "python -m venv" for virtual environment, running "vcvarsall.bat" before pip install solved my issue.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat"
cd gaussian-splatting
pip install submodules/diff-gaussian-rasterization
pip install submodules/simple-knn
