LidarView Superbuild build errors

LidarView, Lidar, and SLAM
1

I have been trying to build LidarView-Superbuild following this page.
https://gitlab.kitware.com/LidarView/lidarview-superbuild

I got errors below when I ran the command cmake --build . -j.
Any help really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

@Timothee_Couble @Gatien_Ferret any inputs?

mingw is not supported afaik, use MSVC on Windows.

Hi @chimanaco,

it seems you cmake configuration does not manage to find the C / CXX compiler.
You should be able to set it manually in cmake-gui ( which you can call with cmake-gui . from your build folder)

Or by adding the arguments to your configure command

 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.29.30133/bin/Hostx86/x86/cl.exe" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.29.30133/bin/Hostx86/x86/cl.exe"

And if the issue is specific to eigen in your superbuild, you may do the same in the corresponding subfolder, e.g ./superbuild/eigen/build

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply!
I tried the command below on x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 as Administrator.

cmake ../lvsb -GNinja -DQt5_DIR="C:\Qt\Qt5.15.2\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\lib\cmake\Qt5" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\bin\Hostx86\x86\cl.exe" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\bin\Hostx86\x86\cl.exe" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

And I got the error below.

It seems MSVC version doesn’t match…?

Indeed you seem to have a different version of the compiler.

You’ll need then to adjust the path to where your ‘cl.exe’ file is actually located on your system ( you’ll probably need to change the version number in the path to point to the correct location )

7

If you are using the VS x64 command prompt, there is no need to specify the compiler. Start with an empty build directory and let cmake find the compiler automatically. i.e. use this command instead:

cmake ../lvsb -GNinja -DQt5_DIR="C:\Qt\Qt5.15.2\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\lib\cmake\Qt5" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Thank you for your reply!
I have cl.exe in the path I added on my last post, but I don’t know how I can find MSVC 19.29.30154.0 though even though I want to match them.

– The C compiler identification is MSVC 19.29.30154.0
– The CXX compiler identification is MSVC 19.29.30154.0

Thank you for your reply!
When I ran the build command after the configure command you told, I got the error of my first post

Do you know how to fix this error…?

10

I believe that the first error was misinterpreted - you are using MSVC for compiling the C/C++ code in the superbuild, but Eigen wants to compile Fortran code, and it finds gfortran from mingw64, which can’t be used at the same time as MSVC. You should remove/uninstall gfortran, or make sure it is not available on your path, and try again. If Eigen is not able to compile without a fortran compiler, you will need to use the MSVC installer to add the MSVC fortran compiler.

Thank you! I will try that.
