Video: Building on Windows

[A-man]

I'm installing the windows SDK and it stopped while looking for releasenotes.htm file:

Code: Select all

9:59:38 PM June-26-11: [SDKSetup:Info] Setup expects to find a local readme at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\ReleaseNotes.Htm

I manually found the file exactly where it should be, except its called releasenotes.html, not htm. Is there a way to fix this?

No idea

I settled for the 32 bit build, and after completion, it said the build should be in the Dist directory. I cant find the folder. I have everything done according to tutorial(base folder named Luxsource, with a windows and luxrays folder). Would you be able to point me to the finished product?
EDIT: before you ask me to try a search, I did, and there were a ton of files called Dist.

EDIT2: I found it. The directory was pointed to in the readme

While building LuxRays I get 'build failed' while buliding solution configuration "Release|Win32".

Any idea? There is a C/C++ Header file named cl in the noted folder, but that's it.

Hi,

The CL\cl.hpp file is trying to include a CL\opencl.h file which is apparently missing.

[Lord Crc]

opencl.h should be included by the OpenCL distribution you use. If you plan to build without OpenCL you need to use the right build configuration (in the solution file).

I'm getting an error:

Code: Select all

cl.hpp(2996) : error C2664: 'clEnqueueNativeKernel' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'void (__stdcall *)(void *)' to 'void (__cdecl *)(void *)'
6>        This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast

google-ing the error I found a pastebin page with A-man as user and since it's a paste from a luxrender compile I'm guessing it's the same user as our A-man.

Any idea how it can be dealt with? (on ubuntu it compiles just fine...)

It seams that the call to the cl.hpp C++ function enqueueNativeKernel() is done with a function pointer with wrong calling convention (must be __cdecl).

I am a little bit out with current luxrende/luxray source, could you post where or in which file the call is?

[A-man]

Aha, you found my nemesis! That comes right at the end after a long half hour wait to show you it was all for nothing I asked about it on IRC and was able to get a custom getdeps.bat, which after going through the process again fixed the problem, but only once, and it hasn't worked again. You can try with this and see if it works. It only helped me in the build-deps stage, it produced a bad solution file.

[vimax]

Thanks for the fast responses.
I'm currently building qt on an atom laptop so it's gonna take a while...

A-man: the only differences I see are some typos that have been fixed, so whatever happened that fixed it I'm pretty sure it wasn't this .bat file, I'll give it a go later anyway.

homer: I got the same error for what seemd a hundred times, however while searching nativeKernel in the whole solution It only finds the string in the cl.hpp and each time the error is reported in the cl.hpp not from a specified call. (but always the error is in line 2994). I'll try to come with more usefull info but later since now I'm stuck with the qt build for quite a while...
