Welcome to the SFT technologies computer-aided openage build system!

You have chosen, or been chosen, to attempt the daring task of building openage.
If you have installed all the dependencies that are conveniently listed in
[doc/building.md], this _might_ just work!

If it doesn't, consider reporting the issue/asking for help in #sfttech on freenode.net.

How do I fix it??!!

[heinezen]

It looks like python is either not installed or not in %PATH%. A few more infos would be helpful:

• Have you followed the official build procedure?
• Which python version do you have installed? Is python added to %PATH%?

[ryandakid]

I have 3.6.3 installed, I do have it in the path (I think so). I am using windows 10. I have also followed the build procedure.... I cannot get past a few bumps... I cannot get past building openage with cmake. I always get this error. Everything else before that, however, is fine.

[ryandakid]

I have spent like 2 days on this...

[jazzpi]

I do have it in the path (I think so)

Can you check (run where python in a cmd)?

[ryandakid]

Ok

[ryandakid]

Python is at

C:\Users\Ryan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe

[ryandakid]

Also, when using vcpkg, I get Error: Building package qt5:x86-windows failed with: BUILD_FAILED

[ryandakid]

Now, on the thing I had first, I get

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python36_d.lib' [C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\SFTtech-openage-fb4a9eb\build\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\cmTC_54716.vcxproj

[ryandakid]

And I still get

(Link target) ->

[ryandakid]

From the looks of things, it can find every file but python36_d.lib

[ryandakid]

Even all the other .lib files... Why?

[heinezen]

First of all, please don't make so many posts and use the edit function :D Second, please surround terminal output with ``` . Example:
```
Terminal output
```

Looks like this:

Terminal output

Now for your problem, please do the following steps:

1. Open the command prompt and just type python into the console. There should be an interpreter showing the version number. If the interpreter doesn't appear or shows a version number smaller than 3.4, something is wrong with PATH.
2. If everything from step 1 is okay, try the solution from the error message: Specify the python path yourself by using -DPYTHON=/path/to/executable.
3. If you still get the same error, something is likely wrong with python. Reinstall it and make sure, you have selected all the checkboxes needed.

edit by @TheJJ: I enclosed all your codeblocks with ``` now.

[ryandakid]

wait

[ryandakid]

I have everything working now

EXCEPT THIS ERROR::::

[ryandakid]

The rest is basically the same.
I will, by the way, almost automatically reply...

[ryandakid]

All programs are working, but the error::

Sorry, I did not see the beginning of your last comment...

[heinezen]

Please, I beg you, use the Edit function. Github is not a chat. You're making it harder for all of us to spot your problem. Also, use ``` (accent grave) not ''' (apostrophe) for surrounding code/output.

Looks like there's still a problem with finding python. This time, it can't find some of the libraries for some reason. I guess something faulty happened during the Python installation..

[ryandakid]

Sorry for the late reply, I have Advanced Geometry Exams tomorrow...,

No, Command Prompt Knows Where Python is!!

Proof:

C:\SFTtech-openage-fb4a9eb\build>where python
C:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe

C:\SFTtech-openage-fb4a9eb\build>where cmake
C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe

[tusharpm]

@ryandakid, looks like you're missing the debug library python36_d.lib and possibly its dll.
Please run the python installer (again) and check the debug binaries option.

Also, all-the-best for your Advanced Geometry exams. 👍

[ryandakid]

Sorry, but reinstalling it did not work. I still get the same error!

Can you tell me where the computer expects the files for python are supposed to be?

Thanks for the good luck, though!

Please Help!!!!

[tusharpm]

The library should be in <python_install_dir>/libs.

Did you clear the CMake cache after reinstalling? If not, please delete CMakeCache.txt and CMakeFiles/ from the build directory.

If you still face the issue, please share the regenerated CMakeCache.txt.

[ryandakid]

Ok. Got everything working but one thing. How do I get opusenc working with my computer? Where do I put the tools files?

Where do I put it and which file from https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/opus/win32/ do I download, I mean?

[tusharpm]

You should get the latest opus-tools zip. As of this writing, it is opus-tools-0.1.10-win32.zip.

From that, you need opusenc.exe available in your PATH.
To see the directories in your PATH, use echo %PATH% on a command prompt. You can choose any one that you deem safe to write in.
Alternatively you can add the original location to the environment variable.

[ryandakid]

We can continue the conversation for the last update in #946.

Please keep this issue open until the MSVC build instructions are updated to reflect the learning here.
