Build C++ Api for Windows

[dwj]

Hi guys,

I try to build the C++ Api for windwos. I've downloaded the OMERO source for 2.5.0, and installed Python 3.5.0, ICE 3.6.1 and CMake 3.4.0.
My OS is Windows 10 x64.

I build the source with:

Code: Select all

C:\PATH_TO_OMERO\build.bat build-cpp

After a while i get the following error message:

Code: Select all

I'm very sure, that the Paths to the ICE installation are at my enviranment variable PATH.

Can anyone help me to build the c++ api.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

the build error you are getting is mostly due to the version of your prerequisites. In particular, Python 3.x and Ice 3.6 are not supported for OMERO 5.2.x.
You should be able to build the OMERO C++ API on Windows using Python 2.7 and Ice 3.5.

Best regards,
Sebastien

Dear Daniel,

I'm afraid that Ice 3.6.x isn't yet supported, and Ice 3.5 is the latest supported version at present. This is the cause of the "not found" error--this isn't a valid version to build with at present. I would suggest using Ice 3.5.1 if possible. We will be updating the sources to build with Ice 3.6 in the future; this release brings some breaking changes which unfortunately make this a non-trivial upgrade.

We provide a pre-built version here: http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/ice/3.5.1/ for use with OMERO, but you may well want to build your own against the version of Visual Studio you are using. This is built against VS2010, but if you're using a later version you will need to build your own.


Kind regards,
Roger Leigh
