@roigcarlo will kill me, but did you tried to use MinGW?, https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/wiki/Windows-Install-(MinGW) it is much less troublesome in my opinion

[roigcarlo]

Hi @Vahid-Galavi

Sems that python paths are wrong, from the config I see you are using

set PYTHON_EXECUTABLE="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\python.exe"
set PYTHON_LIBRARIES="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\python37.dll"

which come with visual studio, maybe they updated the version. Updating the path should solve the problem.
If you can't find the path and you only have one version of python set PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=C:\Windows\py.exe should point to the one installed by Visual Studio directly.

Could you check if it works?

@loumalouomega I know you like Mingw but please stop recommending this procedure over VS until we fully support it.

[Vahid-Galavi]

Thanks @roigcarlo!

It solves the problem with python. Then I get some errors regarding BLAS that I have already solved. But now it gives error about Boost:

[roigcarlo]

Seems that it cannot find boost, could you check if there is another folder inside D:\Program_Files\boost\boost_1_70_0 ? (sometimes its created when unzipping)

If that does not apply, try to set -DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIR="D:\Program_Files\boost\boost_1_70_0\includes" directly in the cmake command:

cmake -G"Visual Studio 16 2019" -H"%KRATOS_SOURCE%" -B"%KRATOS_BUILD%%KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE%" -DUSE_EIGEN_MKL=OFF -DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIR="D:\Program_Files\boost\boost_1_70_0\includes"

That should override the value in case cmake keeps failing

[Vahid-Galavi]

Boost folders are inside D:\Program_Files\boost\boost_1_70_0. However there is no filder, called "includes" in this folder. Actually there is no such a folder at all in any boost package.

[roigcarlo]

Hi @Vahid-Galavi you are right, its the boost folder, sorry for the mistake. I've tried to reproduce the problem with CMake 3.18 and boost 1.70 and it seems to work in my laptop.

Maybe is a problem with permissions or with the backslash scaping. Can you try "D:/Program_Files/boost/boost_1_70_0" or removing the quotes instead of "D:\Program_Files\boost\boost_1_70_0" or ?

I will keep investigating in the meantime

[Vahid-Galavi]

@roigcarlo It seems that it is working now. I removed "includes" from the path and and also changed the key -DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIR to -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR.

Great! Thx for the feedback. I will keep looking why it does not directly work with the BOOST_ROOT and add the Boost_include as a fallback mechanism.

Thanks for your help @roigcarlo!

It is still compiling. In the past, configure.bat created a VS solution where we could compile the code through VS. It seems that this is not the case anymore with the new scripts and the solution is compiled in the command prompt, right?

@loumalouomega Thanks for your suggestion! I started compiling using MingW but I have to install many packages. I am halfway. I will update you how it goes with MingW but first I have to finish the compilation using MS VS.

@roigcarlo Now I am getting these error messages at the end of compilation:

That's an easy one, just turn

set KRATOS_INSTALL_PYTHON_USING_LINKS=OFF

This option tries to create symlinks to python files so you don't have to re-compile every time you touch a py script, but can give problems on win. With the option turned off should work just fine. but be aware that you will have to re-install if you make changes in *.py files.

Thanks @roigcarlo!

Hi @Vahid-Galavi, were you using the windows terminal with admin privileges when you got the symbolic link errors?

[Vahid-Galavi]

Hi @marcnunezc ,

No, I did't. But now, I just tested with admin privilages and it works! No more symbolic link errors.

I think this should be mentioned in the wiki that the windows terminal with adim privileges should be used.

FYI @Vahid-Galavi if you wrap your code in ~~~ it will be formatted much nicer / be better readable
See here

@philbucher Thanks!
