Basic procedure to use boost with biicode and MSVC 10.0 - c++

I'd like to test how biicode allows me to quickly create a project that uses boost. I (think I) have followed the procedure outlined in the bii docs.
After modifying the CMakeLists.txt, the configuration step does not succeed. The boost library does not seem to build to be built. I know that sometimes the configure step needs to be done twice (according to http://forum.biicode.com/t/error-could-not-find-the-following-static-boost-libraries-boost-thread/374), but this does not help.
I have pasted the exact steps I took below. I'd be very grateful if someone could show me where I went wrong.
1. Environnement : Windows 7 x64, Visual Studio 10 SP 1
PS G:\> bii --version
3.2
PS G:\> cmake --version
cmake version 3.2.2
CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).
PS G:\>
2. Start in a clean folder (G:\biitests)
3. Init the bii project
PS G:\biitests> bii init boostUsageTest -L
Successfully initialized biicode project boostUsageTest
4. Create the G:\biitests\boostUsageTest\main.cpp file with the following contents:
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#include <boost/thread/mutex.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <exception>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
boost::mutex uselessMutex;
auto value = boost::lexical_cast<int>(argv[0]);
std::cout << "value = " << value << std::endl;
return 0;
}
5. bii find
PS G:\biitests\boostUsageTest> bii find

Creating a QT Project with CMake

I am trying to set up a QT project with CMake (and not using QT Creator).
I am currently trying to build a minimum working example, that just shows an empty window. My current code is based (more like coppied) from this tutorial from the official (?) docs and this answer by another user to a similar question.
I then run the following three commands:
cmake .
cmake --build .
.\Debug\helloworld.exe
But nothing happens (when running the program, the first two commands appear to work as intended). If I put the code from main.cpp into an existing QT Creator project it works and shows an empty window. Anyone can tell me, what I am missing?
main.cpp
#include <QApplication>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QMainWindow>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
//Option 1, like in the mentioned stackoverflow answer
//QWidget window;
//Option 2, to test If maybe the QWidget above was the problem
QMainWindow window;
window.setWindowTitle("Test");
window.show();
return app.exec();
}
CMakeList.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(helloworld VERSION 1.0.0 LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
# Without this line, cmake does not find the package
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:/Qt/6.3.1/msvc2019_64")
find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets)
qt_standard_project_setup()
add_executable(helloworld
main.cpp
)
target_link_libraries(helloworld PRIVATE Qt6::Widgets)
set_target_properties(helloworld PROPERTIES
WIN32_EXECUTABLE ON
MACOSX_BUNDLE ON
)
EDIT:
As suggested by Aamir I created an extra build folder. The output of the three comands is as follows:
One more thing, if I replace the code in main.cpp with a simple "Hello World" programm, it works fine. I therefore assumed, that the missing/failed parts in the first cmake command are no problem. Or am I wrong about that part?

You need to add the Qt DLL directory to the PATH environment variable either permanently or before calling the program from the console as follows:
set PATH=C:\Qt\6.3.1\msvc2019_64\bin;%PATH%
If you would have started your application from a cmd console window an error dialog would have popped up notifying you about the missing DLL. But as you were using PowerShell there is a bug pending (see here) that prevents the error dialog to be shown.
NB: You can call cmd from a PowerShell window to get the old console window.

Cmake unable to find PostgreSQL libraries When compiling SOCI

OS: Windows 10
Compiler: Visual Studio 2019
SOCI Version: 4.0.2
PostgreSQL Version: 13
CMake VersionL 3.20.3
I'm not too familiar with CMake so bear with me if I'm doing something uninformed and incorrectly.
Steps:
Download and execute postgresql-13.3-2-windows-x64.exe
Download and execute pgadmin4-5.3-x64.exe
Download and extract SOCI 4.0.2
Create build directory in SOCI 4.0.2
Call the following from cmd in the build directory:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" .. -DWITH_BOOST=OFF -DWITH_POSTGRESQL=ON -DPOSTGRESQL_INCLUDE_DIR:STRING="c:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/13/include" -DPOSTGRESQL_LIBRARIES:STRING="c:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/13/lib" -DSOCI_STATIC=ON -DSOCI_SHARED=OFF
I got the following output

"MySQL C++ Connector Unresolved Dependencies (VS 2015)" solution did not work

This refers to the original question posted by Tom Doodler, and answered by Norbert Boros, on the same topic. I am also trying to get the MySQL Connector/C or /C++ to work. Using MS Visual Studio 2017. Following the steps in the answer, did all the steps till :
Run this command ( assuming you want the STATIC DEBUG ):
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_STATIC=true -DBUNDLE_DEPENDENCIES=ON -DSTATIC_MSVCRT=OFF -DWITH_JDBC=ON
The output on the screen says:
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! in the last few lines. No "MYSQLCPPCONN.sln" either.
I have a pdf of the output but do not know how to attach it here. The output says three files are missing and one test failed, these are towards the end of the file, highlighted. Of course, their could be more problems that I could not identify, being a green thumb.
Any ideas about how to address this ?
I found Protobuf.sln at E:\MySQL C++ Connector Unresolved Dependencies (VS 2015) *\mysql-connector-cpp-master\cdk\protobuf*. would this be of any use ?
Here is part of the output where problems occurred (there could be more problems elsewhere, have no idea. Also, had to format the output as "code", a posting requirement on the forum ?):

Can build Mysql Connector C++ on vs 2017?

I tried to build mysql-connector-c++ from source to static library.
Referring the official spec here, I generated the Visual studio solution by the following command:
cmake -DMYSQL_DIR="E:\mysql-5.7.21-winx64" -DWITH_BOOST="E:\libs\boost_1_67_0_BUILDED" -DWITH_JDBC=ON -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ../
Then, I opened the vs solution generated by cmake.Run build, got the two libs: mysqlcppconn8-static-mt.lib, mysqlcppconn-static-mt.lib, and copied them to my project.
When I built my project (also vs2017 version), I got the error:
mysqlcppconn-static-mt.lib(net_serv.obj) : error LNK2038: 检测到“_MSC_VER”的不匹配项: 值“1800”不匹配值“1900”(ActionProcessor.obj 中)
I am confused. They're all built in vs2017, and platform toolset are all set to "Visual Studio 2017 (v141)". I can't understand where 1800_MSC_VER has come from.
Here is what I did
Specs
Visual Studio 15, (2017)
x64
Static (.lib)
With static runtime (/MT)
Tools
CMAKE
Bison (In a folder without spaces)
Perl (ActiveState or Strawberry)
OpenSSL 1.0.2q.tar.gz
Add CMAKE, Bison and pearl to your system path
Check to see if you got all setup correctly
C:\>cmake --version
cmake version 3.9.6
C:\>bison --version
bison (GNU Bison) 2.4.1
C:\>m4 --version
m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.13
C:\>perl -version
This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 3 (v5.24.3)
Step 1: Build OpenSSL 1.0.x
Note: if you want to build OpenSSL 1.1.x steps will be a bit different
Extract to: C:\mysql-8.0.15\openssl-1.0.2q
Run: x64 Native Tools Command prompt for VS 2017
cd C:\mysql-8.0.15\openssl-1.0.2q
Release
perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-shared --openssldir=.\rel64
ms\do_win64a
nmake -f ms\nt.mak
nmake -f ms\nt.mak install
Debug
nmake -f ms\nt.mak clean
perl Configure debug-VC-WIN64A no-shared --openssldir=.\dbg64
ms\do_win64a
nmake -f ms\nt.mak
nmake -f ms\nt.mak install
Step 2: Build MySQL (Yes the actual database)
Extract to: C:\mysql-8.0.15
Run: x64 Native Tools Command prompt for VS 2017
cd C:\mysql-8.0.15\
cmake . -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ^
-DWITH_BOOST=C:/mysql-8.0.15/boost ^
-DDOWNLOAD_BOOST=1 ^
-DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release ^
-DWITH_SSL=C:\mysql-8.0.15\openssl-1.0.2q\rel64 ^
-DLINK_STATIC_RUNTIME_LIBRARIES=1
Copy m4.exe to C:\mysql-8.0.15\sql\ this avoids any m4.exe errors during built
Open MySQL.sln and build for release x64
Copy binary_log_funcs.h and binary_log_types.h from mysql-8.0.15\libbinlogevents\export to mysql-8.0.15\include
The library should be located at:
Static release library: C:\mysql-8.0.15\archive_output_directory\Release\mysqlclient.lib
Step 3: Build MySQL Connector C++
Copy C:\mysql-8.0.15-dbg\archive_output_directory\Debug\mysqlclient.lib
to C:\mysql-8.0.15-dbg\lib\vs14
Run CMAKE GUI
Browse to the path of the MySQL Connector Project.
Click Configure, Select Visual studio 15 2017 Win64, native compilers
Tick BUILD_STATIC
Tick STATIC_MSVCRT
TICK WITH_JDBC
remove WIN_SSL_YASL from CONFIG_VARS
WITH_SSL = C:\mysql-8.0.15\openssl-1.0.2q\rel64
WITH_BOOST= C:\mysql-8.0.15\boost\boost_1_66_0
MYSQL_DIR=C:\mysql-8.0.15
Open MySQL_CONCPP.sln build for Release x64
The library is located at:
C:\mysql-connector-c++-8.0.15\jdbc\install\lib\mysqlcppconn-static-mt.lib
C:\mysql-connector-c++-8.0.15\Release\mysqlcppconn8-static-mt.lib
Step 4: Test it
Note: This test is for the JDBC style API. If you are not maintaining an existing application, use the new xdevapi API.
Create a new project and put the following in main.cpp
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <Windows.h>
#define STATIC_CONCPP
#define CONCPP_BUILD_STATIC
#define CPPCONN_PUBLIC_FUNC
#include <driver.h>
#include <connection.h>
#include <statement.h>
#include <exception.h>
sql::Driver *mDriver;
sql::Connection *mConnection;
int main() {
mDriver = get_driver_instance(); //or use: new MySQL_Driver()
try {
mConnection = mDriver->connect("host", "username", "password");
mConnection->close();
}catch(sql::SQLException& ex) {
std::cout << ex.what();
}
delete mConnection;
return 0;

I don't even know where to start explaining to be honest. Building this was a massive pain.
Before you begin to read this, please ensure you have the following:
C:\boost
C:\OpenSSL-Win32
C:\OpenSSL-Win64
Because I was writing my own "wrapper" and trying to make UNICODE work properly, I was getting weird exceptions, and I was unable to debug anything because I downloaded the latest package which is built without debug information (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/cpp/)
This is the first time I try to build this, so I went to their Github repository and grabbed the latest "master": https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-cpp
BUT! This does not contain the "JDBC" sources, which is by the way the "native" connector as they call it. So I grabbed it from the branch: https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-cpp/tree/jdbc and then copied the files into "mysql-connector-cpp-master\jdbc".
OK. I opened "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017" and navigated to "mysql-connector-cpp-master". At this point I still had no idea what I am doing and how to build it, all I could understand from the docs and different articles here is to run:
cmake -DWITH_JDBC=ON --build .
This started to configure things and build OK, but it stopped here:
-- Searching for static libraries with the base name(s) "mysqlclient"
CMake Error at FindMySQL.cmake:524 (message):
Could not find "mysql.h" from searching "/usr/include/mysql

Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:332 (INCLUDE)
OK. So what now... where is "mysql.h" ?! After searching... and searching, I found this: Missing mysql.h and trying to find mysql-devel
And I quote:
Grab the MySQL Community Server and install it on your system. It
contains a directory called include in which you find the mysql.h.
Ok, great we need more stuff. So I download: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ and run the command again.
Happy days, something happened but no libs yet. I did get however a VS 2017 solution called: "MYSQLCPPCONN.sln".
This contains VS 2017 configuration to build the library for Win32. And of course trying to build with this solution will give you A LOT of unresolved external symbols.
So I run again the cmake but with static option added:
cmake -DWITH_JDBC=ON -DBUILD_STATIC=ON --build .
This time when I open "MYSQLCPPCONN.sln" I can see another project "mysqlcppconn-static" and this builds fine without issues.
However, in my case I need x64. I just created a new configuration for x64 by copying the exiting configuration fron Win32.
So that's it, I have both Win32 and x64 "mysqlcppconn-static.lib".
Overall Conclusion at this time:
Quite hard to build, without experience you will spend some time...
time.
No proper documentation, their existing documentation is poorly
written and very confusing.
No UNICODE support, yes the projects compile as Multi-Byte
Character Set.
I will see if I can debug and find out why am I getting exceptions in the library when using this (from their documentation):
sql::ConnectOptionsMap connection_properties;
connection_properties["hostName"] = "";
connection_properties["port"] = "";
connection_properties["userName"] = "";
connection_properties["password"] = "";
connection_properties["schema"] = "";
connection_properties["OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT"] = 10;
connection_properties["CLIENT_MULTI_STATEMENTS"] = (true);
connection_properties["OPT_CHARSET_NAME"] = "utf8";
connection_properties["OPT_SET_CHARSET_NAME"] = "utf8";
I hope you can build your library with this information, and hopefully in the future it will become more easier and clear.
Good Luck.
