Darknet: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ucrtd.lib'

Created on 14 Mar 2019 · 6Comments · Source: AlexeyAB/darknet

When running build.ps1 I get the following error from cmake and it fails to detect the compiler. The error is that when building the compiler test the linker fails to find ucrtd.lib. However, I can pull the linker command out of the error log and it runs fine. Any ideas?

The failed command is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX64\x64\link.exe /ERRORREPORT:QUEUE /OUT:".\CompilerIdC.exe" /INCREMENTAL:NO /NOLOGO /LIBPATH:"C:\software\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\debug\lib" /LIBPATH:"C:\software\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\debug\lib\manual-link" kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib "C:\software\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\debug\lib\*.lib" /MANIFEST /MANIFESTUAC:"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'" /manifest:embed /PDB:".\CompilerIdC.pdb" /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /TLBID:1 /DYNAMICBASE /NXCOMPAT /IMPLIB:".\CompilerIdC.lib" /MACHINE:X64 Debug\CMakeCCompilerId.obj

which I can paste into PS and run without errors.

The full error log is:

Building in Release I found one small issue with the darknet project. The Additional Dependencies in the linker has a corrupt pthread line:

optimized%3BC:\software\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\lib\pthreadVC2.lib%3Bdebug%3BC:\software\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\debug\lib\pthreadVC2d.lib

After editing the project file and replacing with:

C:\software\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\lib\pthreadVC2.lib;C:\software\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\debug\lib\pthreadVC2d.lib

I was able to build the Release

One other comment, vcpkg works fine and I can build pthreads and opencv[cuda] without any issues.

@charlnaya Hi,

Can you build Darknet by using this ps1 file? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/f9085d8c2a2c2319ca6270b3a032195829f049a1/build.ps1
Or can you build Darknet by using Cmake-gui https://cmake.org/download/ and MSVS 2017?

AlexeyAB on 14 Mar 2019

Hi @AlexeyAB, that ps1 file fails with the same error. I'll give cmake gui a try and let you know.

hi @AlexeyAB, @charlnaya i have exactelly the same issue it try to understand why :( missing MSVS 17 sdk, or so ... I try to build the project GPU base with CUDA 10.1 and cudnn 10. I will let you know if i amable to found something or if i can manage to do it with cmake will try, if i could mange this

Hi @AlexeyAB , I tested with cmake-gui and was able to configure and generate the VS files and then build darknet in VS. I did have to edit CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE as it was not getting the VCPKG_ROOT env variable. Otherwise it seemed to work fine.
