Synergy-core: Compile instructions do not work with Visual Studio 14 2015 (Windows 7 64)

[NevPalmer]

The compile instructions on the Wiki appear to be out of date for recent versions of Visual Studio, even though the dependencies state Visual Studio 2015.

When running hm conf the options only allow for Visual Studio versions 8 through 10.
I edited the file \ext\toolchain\commands1.py to get hm conf to apparently complete without errors.

    _win32_generators = {

The when I tried to run hm build it failed with "'vcbuild' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." A little investigation seems to indicate the vcbuild.exe is no longer included in recent versions of Visual Studio (is it now TFSBuild.exe????)

It also appears that many of the quoted PATH environment variables are no longer correct for the specified dependencies. Eg Instead of X:\Qt\5.6\mingw49_32\bin;X:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\bin, I needed to use C:\Qt\5.6\msvc2015_64\bin;C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin. This might be a difference between 32 & 64 bit Windows.

@NevPalmer
What branch are you trying to compile?

[NevPalmer]

The master branch, "Versioned 1.8.2-stable"

The file I refered to is here;
https://github.com/symless/synergy/blob/master/ext/toolchain/commands1.py
The example edits I gave are for lines 257 and 1747 onward.

[tquakulinsky]

I also have problems to compile Synergy 1.8.2-stable on Windows 10 64bit using Visual Studio 2015. I can confirm that @NevPalmer changes on commands1.py work but I also have to install Cmake 3.6.1 instead of 2.8. Besides that I also got an warning for Qt:

Warning: Not using supported Qt version 4.6.2 (your version is 5.6.0).

Actual I also have the problem that vcbuild could not be found when I run hm build. When I try to run manually msbuild instead, I got 210 warnings and 98 errors. Almost all of them are related to previous definitions:

the command1.py file is actually out of date on windows. trace and step
into the python function carefully to observe what exactly happens

   Actual I have the problem "No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found." but I
   guess this error exist because I did not install the C++ part in VS...

@NevPalmer @Tracesnow001 @tquakulinsky
Could you guys try our 1.9 branch which has vs2015 support and qt 5.6.

Please give us some feedbacks.

[NevPalmer]

@XinyuHou
Making much more progress now.
hm conf -g1 runs without error.

When I run hm build it appears to get almost all the way through until the following error;

Build succeeded.

Note that I have run hm build several times now as there were a few things I had incorrect to start with, such as environment path variables, etc. That is why the 'time elapsed' shown is very short. Most of the processing had been previously completed at this point so hm build now runs through very quickly.

The first run through of hm builddid have several warning messages that I don't recall now but they didn't appear to be particularly serious.

[NevPalmer]

Sorry. You can ignore my comment above.

I deleted the 'build' directory from my Synergy source directory and re-ran hm conf -g1 and hm build from the beginning. The build still did not complete but did progress further with fewer warnings.

hm conf -g1 completed without any errors.

hm build run up to "Build succeeded" with 4 warnings and no errors. It then started the "Make GUI command" section but failed soon after, unable to find a file. The final lines of output are as follows;

I'll be working on MSVC 2015 stuff again in a few weeks. Try the andrew-bonjour branch in the meantime. You need the Apple Bonjour SDK installed.

[mijoharas]

I get the same problem as @xerrni no synergy.exe being build in the build stage which makes the package stage fail.

[kidvader]

Hello, I'm having the same problems compiling the 1.8.2 branch with the compiling instructions. The 1.9.0 branch seems to be missing the file "dns_sd.h".

What is the build environment for the 1.8.2-stable? I got several errors when trying to use qt 4.6.2.

[nlyan]

@kidvader you need the Apple Bonjour SDK installed to get "dns_sd.h"

[gcbw]

I am confused. Where are the instructions that say MSVC 2015?

the one i see suggests VS2010 and QT5.6, which is not even available for VS2010

[rootkow]

@gcbw the compiling wiki page needs a couple updates. Make sure to use the v1.9.0 branch if you have VS2015.

[juan-ruiz]

Hey there guys, i am trying to compile this on a windows 7 machine with VS2015, i checked out the v1.9.0 branch but when i try to run the hm conf -g1 i get an error stating:

`C:\Users\ruizvilla\workspace.DEV\synergy>hm conf -g1

Entering dir: build

CMake Error: Could not create named generator Visual Studio 14 2015`

Im not really experienced in compiling stuff in windows :/

[anohren]

@juan-ruiz I had the same problem. After some investigation it seems that:

1. generators are part of CMake
2. the generator "Visual Studio 14 2015" is not included in CMake 2.8.0 (cmake --help to list available generators)
3. that generator was introduced in CMake 3.1

I'm now stuck in the next step called "The C compiler identification is unknown". Well, back to google.

[rootkow]

I can confirm @anohren's statement. I grabbed the latest version of cmake last week which seemed to fix that issue.

[nlyan]

Thanks for helping one another out guys. We will update our build instructions in due course, but we're currently in the middle of migrating to new build infra etc.

[Ps2Fino]

I can't get either 1.8.6 or 1.9 to build properly.
The closest I've gotten is a successful build on the 1.9 branch, by manually modifying the generated Makefile.Release to include the local directory at the link stage, and manually put dnssd.lib there. However, this caused the synergy app to run in a constant loop, complaining about an ipc issue

[sasjafor]

Where has the hm script gone in versions newer than 1.8.7? I didn't find out anywhere why it's gone. I'm trying to compile v1.9.

[nlyan]

@DRSXS hm.py is being put to rest in v1.9 and v2.0

[bgardner2]

@nlyan , How do we compile then?

[yupi2]

@bgardner2 Something like this probably

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G"Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../
cmake --build ./ --config Debug

[bgardner2]

@yupi2 almost worked. many many red errors (branch 1.9.0). Definitely appreciate the suggestion, i dont really use cmake so i'm clueless in this regard

[yupi2]

@bgardner2 Branch 1.9.0 as in the literal branch v1.9 correct? Also it would help to post the build log as a gist. Last thing is that I can't reproduce as I don't have the bonjour libraries setup for builds.

[bgardner2]

@yupi2 wasn't sure how to get the log when doing cmake since it just outputs in the console. So i opened the SLN file that gets created in VS2015 which gives me the same errors that fly by in the command window. These errors occur when building the synergy project (as opposed to synergyc, etc). Here is the gist ...it has over 4900 errors

[yupi2]

That's a lot of Qt errors which might be solvable with placing the Qt binary directory in %Path% (preferably in the system's %Path%). For example my %Path% includes C:\Qt\5.8\msvc2015_64\bin. I got it from the Qt Online installer. To add a directory to %Path% can use Windows search for environment variables and then Edit the system environment variables -> Environment Variables... button -> and add ;C:\Qt\5.8\msvc2015_64\bin (note the ;) to the end of system variable Path. You may have to restart the command prompt and maybe even your computer for it to carry over the new updated path to new programs.

[freesamael]

Can I build the installer on v1.9? Without hm.py I'm not sure how I can do that.

[JMY1000]

hm.py doesn't seem to be bundled with the v1.9 branch anymore. I tried copying it over from master, but it tried to use Visual Studio 2010 again, which thanks to Microsoft, can't even be downloaded anymore (the link posted around SO now fails to resolve.)

I'm awful with CMake, and trying to set the compiler myself resulted in it being unable to find the C and CXX compilers.

[yupi2]

@JMY1000 something like this may work:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G"Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ../
cmake --build ./ --config Debug

[JMY1000]

Still not finding the compilers, perhaps an issue with how I installed Visual Studio? I used VS 2017 Community but selected all the 2015 related stuff in the installer; using -G"Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" didn't work either.

[yupi2]

CMake should be able to automatically setup environment vars for VS if the version is installed so I don't know why it's failing for you. You could try starting a VS2017 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt, or something named along those lines, and then running the CMake commands in that command prompt.

[dkstanner]

I'm working with Visual Studio 17, and would also like to know how to go about building an installer for v1.9

[jaspercayne]

So I just tried to build the 1.9 branch on Win7_x64 with no success. I am seeing a lot of version not set and openssl issues, but it gets pretty close with 12 warnings and 17 errors. It cannot find openssl at all, which appears to still require building but I cannot seem to work that out as I know nothing about cmake... I am using VS2015 without issue however, so this is the closest I've gotten to getting it built.

@jaspercayne Check out my synergy repo for something that will build easily. Statically links with LibreSSL so you don't have to deal with building OpenSSL or DLLs.

[bbhangoo]

@jaspercayne are there special instructions for building the above repo, noticed it does not have the hm script?

Is there a VM someone ever uploaded that has a Windows compile setup ?

On a side note: if anyone can tell me what version of Qt and Visual Studio that successfully compiles the master? I cloned the master from git, switched it to v1.9 branch. I have Visual Studio 2015 installed on Widnows 10 x64. I tried several version of Qt but I kept getting the not supported message, I have Qt version 5.8 installed. Finally I disabled the version check in commands1.py to have hm conf go through

My attempt to build fails with 81 errors and 162 warnings, a few -
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include\xkeycheck.h(212): warning C4005: 'nullptr': macro redefinition [C:\Data\synergy.master\build\src\lib\synwinhk\synwinhk.vcxproj]

Thanks a lot for any tips.

[bbhangoo]

@jaspercayne actually I found the hm scripts in the sub-dir ext\toolchain, moved them to the base dir, now the compile goes quite a bit further but failed with -

[yupi2]

@bbhangoo Check out my fork for something that works. You'll want to read the whole README.md front-page.

[bbhangoo]

@jaspercayne thank you so much, worked perfect! Always read the README file first ;)

[dileep-krishnan]

@yupi2 I used your fork and compiled it successfully. How can I go ahead and make an installable from it? I am looking for an equivalent of hm package [os] . It will be helpful if I get the same for v1.9 also. Thanks in advance!

[yupi2]

@dileep-krishnan Wait a day or two and I'll have buildable installers working.

[bbhangoo]

@yupi2 any development on the buildable installer you mentioned ? A side question, has anyone tried to build this on Android lately? Seems like the Android build instructions are quite out of date. Thanks.

[yupi2]

@bbhangoo Check out the activey branch which I use for testing (do git pull then git checkout activey). Also you'll need to re-read the README of the repo. If you have problems you should post them on my repo. If git complains about *.qm files then go to whatever directory they're in and just delete them and the try to checkout the branch again. I'll merge the changes into the master branch if there's no problems.

[jaspercayne]

This should really not be used for questions specific to a different
project. If you are using the yupi2 fork then you should move the
discussion over there instead. This is cluttering up a different project
than the one you have been asking about, and really shouldn't be happening.
Why not start commenting on the actual fork you are using so others can
benefit from it instead of having to cobble together discussions from
multiple repositories?

@yupi2 https://github.com/yupi2 does this version have almost recent
code. In my compiled app from this branch I loose the mouse cursor, it
seems stuck on the task bar at the bottom of the screen? Mouse clicks and
keyboard events go through OK but I cannot move or see the mouse cursor.
Testing between Windows 10 x64 on both ends. The pre-compiled release
1.8.6-stable works OK on the same setup. Did we loose some fixes in the
branch ?
