Open Microscopy Environment

Good afternoon!

I'm having trouble to get an OmeroCpp client running on Windows 64bit. The basic communication seems to work as long as the server does not return data. I can create a session and a query service. If I run a query that returns something I get a Ice::UnmarshalOutOfBoundsException, whereas a query that returns nothing works without any exception.

The Windows 32bit build works fine, as well as Linux 32bit and 64bit builds.

The server is on a Linux 64bit system.

For your inforamtion: I did compile the OmeroCpp library with the sources that were generated by a Linux build created with the build.py script provided by Omero.

Thanks for help! Bernhard

I don't think this is really going to matter but is this XP x64, Vista 64-bit edition or Windows 7 64-bit edition Bernhard?

Hi Chris,

it's a Vista 64bit system.

Thanks! Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,

the general rule is UnmarshalOutOfBoundExceptions come from *.ice version mismatches. There was a period early in OmeroCpp development, however, when the compiler flags were causing these and other exceptions:

Another possibility that I've just run into is that the System environment variables might not be set properly for x64 systems:

From the Ice README.txt,

Code: Select all


If you built an x64 configuration, use this setting instead (the
x64 directory must come first in your PATH):

set PATH=<Ice installation root directory>\bin;%PATH%
set PATH=<Ice installation root directory>\bin\x64;%PATH%

I've seen this thread in the forum, however, it does not help here as we're compiling OmeroCpp with Visual Studio.

Concerning the second point, it's something not relevant for our current setup. I don't build OmeroCpp on Windows with the omero build scripts. As said before, I'm copying the generated files from a Linux build. Therefor, all I need are the Ice libraries and those I'm using are the 64bit versions, otherwise the linkage would fail.

Maybe I should try generating the OmeroCpp files on Windows. Have you've tried to build OmeroCpp on Windows before? From what I can see in the scons files, I guess at least the compilation is not portable to Windows without setting up a different environment.

Thanks! Bernhard
