I want to add a dll as dependency to my own project under Windows.
I tried following:
lept_include = include_directories('../libs/tesseract')
lept_lib = '/g/programming/meson/libs/tesseract/liblept-5.dll'
lept_dep = declare_dependency(link_with:lept_lib, include_directories:lept_include)
executable('test1', 'main.cpp', dependencies: [boost_dep, lept_dep])
but got this error:
..\meson.build:25:0: ERROR: '/g/programming/meson/libs/tesseract/liblept-5.dll' is not a target.
I also tried this but dit not work either:
cc = meson.get_compiler('cpp')
lib_l1 = cc.find_library('liblept-5.dll', dirs : ['/g/programming/meson/libs/tesseract'])
lib_l2 = cc.find_library('liblept-5', dirs : ['/g/programming/meson/libs/tesseract'])
lib_l3 = cc.find_library('lept-5.dll', dirs : ['/g/programming/meson/libs/tesseract'])
lib_l4 = cc.find_library('lept-5', dirs : ['/g/programming/meson/libs/tesseract'])
How can I achieve this?
thanks
Amazingly lib_l4 = cc.find_library('lept-5', dirs : ['/cygdrive/g/programming/meson/libs/tesseract']) is working now. At first I was using MSYS for windows, now I tried CYGWIN and the lib was found.
I was trying to follow the example provided by Building Makefile using bazel
post to build an external package in envoy. In the WORKSPACE file I added the following:
new_git_repository(
name = "name",
remote = "remote.git",
build_file = "//foo/bazel/external:x.BUILD",
)
And foo/bazel/external/x.BUILD has the following contents:
load("#rules_foreign_cc//tools/build_defs:make.bzl", "make")
filegroup(
name = "m_srcs",
srcs = glob(["code/**"]),
)
make(
name = "foo_bar",
make_commands = ["make lib"],
lib_source = ":m_srcs",
shared_libraries = ["lib.so"],
)
and I set the visibility in foo/bazel/BUILD as package(default_visibility = ["//visibility:public"])
On executing bazel build -s #name//:foo_bar, I get the error that external/name/x/lib/lib.so was not created.
I checked the bazel-bin/external/name/x/logs/GNUMake.log and make completes successfully. I see that BUILD_TMPDIR directory has created lib.so. I think it should have been copied to EXT_BUILD_DEPS/lib, but I am not sure why it was not copied. Would appreciate any tips to debug the error.
Edited make command to manually copy the lib to expected folder - make_commands = ["make libs; cp lib.so $INSTALLDIR/lib/lib.so"]
I am not able sucessfully build the the project using scons, g++ and gtest. I want to use gtest as unit test. My project looks like below:
project
| -SConstruct
| -src
| -name.hh
| -name.cc
| -main.cc
| -gtest
| -/src/gtest_name.hh
| -/src/gtest_name.cc
| -/src/gtest_main.cc
Inside SConstruct for project building, I have following code:
program_srcs = ['name.cc']
cpppath = ['./src']
libpath = ['.', 'path_to_third_party_lib']
libs = ['thirdlib']
pro_env = Environment()
env.Append(CPPPATH = cpppath)
env.Append(LIBS = libs)
env.Append(LIBPATH = libpath)
env.Library('name', program_srcs)
libpath.append('name')
env.Append(LIBPATH = libpath)
env.Program(target = 'NAME', source = [ './src/main.cc']
test_src = ['./gtest/src/gtest_name.cc']
test_env = Environment()
test_env['LIBPATH'] = ['.']
test_env.Program("unit_test", test_src, LIBS=['name'])
Inside gtest_name.cc
include"name.hh"
TEST_F(TESTNAME, testmethod) {
Name name;
ASSERT_EQ(name.get_surname, "MIKE");
}
When I tried to compile and build, it gave following errors for gtest.
g++ -o gtest/src/gtest_name.o -c gtest/src/gtest_name.cc
gtest/src/gtest_name.cc:10:29: error: name.hh: No such file or directory
When I checked for library 'name', it was already constructed. Could you please tell me what the problem is?
You have added the required include search path "src" to the variable CPPPATH, for the environment "env".
But you build the library with the environment "test_env" which doesn't have CPPPATH defined.
That's why the "-I" directive is missing in your compiler call.
Note, that SCons offers a Clone() method for environments. It copies over all current definitions (and builders for example) from one environment to create a new one...this might come in handy here.
Good afternoon.

This script collects game engine Godot (http://www.godotengine.org)
I want to convert this script in the project file of Visual Studio 2010.
In Scons have corresponding command env.MSVSProject().
Description:
Builds a Microsoft Visual Studio project file, and by default builds a solution file as well.Example usage:
barsrcs = ['bar.cpp'], barincs = ['bar.h'], barlocalincs =
['StdAfx.h'] barresources = ['bar.rc','resource.h'] barmisc =
['bar_readme.txt']
dll = env.SharedLibrary(target = 'bar.dll',
source = barsrcs)
env.MSVSProject(target = 'Bar' + env['MSVSPROJECTSUFFIX'],
srcs = barsrcs,
incs = barincs,
localincs = barlocalincs,
resources = barresources,
misc = barmisc,
buildtarget = dll,
variant = 'Release')
More - http://www.scons.org/doc/1.2.0/HTML/scons-user/a8304.html
But I do not understand how to pass the appropriate parameters, as they choose from a script.
Tell me, please.
The MSVSProject builder can create a Visual Studio project but it's only a project for you library with your files in them. You can't convert a SCons' configuration file to a VS project.
The builder only serve for people that wanted to work in Visual Studio IDE. But you need to continue compile with the scons command line tool.
There's a way to achieve what you want to achieve by properly configuring your project.
In the project's property page, under 'NMake' settings make sure that these parameters reflect the scons build command
Build command line: (eg: scons -C ....\ debug=1)
Rebuild All command line: (eg: scons -C ....\ -c && scons -C ....\ debug=1)
Clean command line: the scons command line to clean the project
These values should also be set to their proper values:
Output: (i.e. executable name)
In the project's property page, under 'General' settings make sure that these parameters correspond to:
Configuration Type: Makefile
You can find a complete description of the above at http://grbd.github.io/posts/2016/07/27/scons-builds-with-visual-studio/
Now I am studying an open source fluid simulation called pabalos. I have some problems building my own program that links against the library.
The library is built from source using scons.
The directory of the project is :
[fred#suck palabos-v1.1r0]$ls
codeblocks/ examples/ jlabos/ pythonic/ SConstruct utility/
COPYING externalLibraries/ lib/ scons/ src/
I will refer to this as the project root directory!
The project's official building documentation says:
The library Palabos makes use of an on-demand compilation process. The
code is compiled the first time it is used by an end-user application,
and then automatically re-used in future, until a new compilation is
needed due to a modification of the code or compilation options.
In the examples directory, there are some example code directories, such as :
[fred#suck palabos-v1.1r0]$ls examples/showCases/rectangularChannel3d/*
examples/showCases/rectangularChannel3d/Makefile
examples/showCases/rectangularChannel3d/rectangularChannel3D.cpp
The Makefile of the example is:
[fred#suck rectangularChannel3d]$cat Makefile

My problem is:
When I changed the source file rectangularChannel3D.cpp in the example dir,
and run make, the palabos library should not be rebuilt since I didn't change
the library project's source file (in the 'src' dir of the root dir) at all. But
actually the lib file "libplb.a" had been rebuilt!! So why?
I agree with Brady. Try contacting the project you're trying to build.
Alternatively, if you get no help from them, and/or really want to fix this yourself, SCons has a flag --debug=explain which will tell you why any object is being build/rebuilt.
