Vcpkg: azure_kinect_sensor_sdk link error

[aspioupiou]

Describe the bug
Linking to the port azure_kinect_sensor_sdk failed

Environment

• OS: Windows10
• Compiler: Visual studio 2017

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ./vcpkg install azure_kinect_sensor_sdk:x64-windows-md
2. Then in the CmakeLists.txt from the project :

    find_package(k4a CONFIG REQUIRED)
    target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE k4a::k4a)

Failure logs

CMake Error at libs/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows-md/share/k4a/k4aTargets.cmake:73 (message):
  The imported target "k4a::k4a" references the file

     "./vcpkg/installed/x64-windows-md/debug/bin/k4a.dll"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "./vcpkg/installed/x64-windows-md/share/k4a/k4aTargets.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

Additional context
I requested a static linkage with this library

I am doing something wrong?

Cheers

A temporary fix is to remove all reference to k4a.dll in the k4aTargets-debug/release.cmake :

#----------------------------------------------------------------
# Generated CMake target import file for configuration "Release".
#----------------------------------------------------------------

# Commands may need to know the format version.
set(CMAKE_IMPORT_FILE_VERSION 1)

# Import target "k4a::k4a" for configuration "Release"
set_property(TARGET k4a::k4a APPEND PROPERTY IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS RELEASE)
set_target_properties(k4a::k4a PROPERTIES
  IMPORTED_IMPLIB_RELEASE "${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/lib/k4a.lib"
  #IMPORTED_LOCATION_RELEASE "${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/bin/k4a.dll"
  )

list(APPEND _IMPORT_CHECK_TARGETS k4a::k4a )
list(APPEND _IMPORT_CHECK_FILES_FOR_k4a::k4a "${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/lib/k4a.lib" )#"${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/bin/k4a.dll" )

# Commands beyond this point should not need to know the version.
set(CMAKE_IMPORT_FILE_VERSION)

carefull, these files are auto-generated

After testing on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, it seems the package can't neither build there, with the following error :

Hi @aspioupiou
Thanks for posting this issue.
Do you have some changes in your triplet? I noticed that you build azure-kinect-sensor-sdk:x64-windows-md.

I try to build azure-kinect-sensor-sdk:x64-windows and there is no any error about this.

[aspioupiou]

@NancyLi1013 Hi !

There exists 2 issues here :

• The linking issue with a static azure-kinect-sensor-sdk on both platform
• The linux-only build issue where this command failes : ./vcpkg install azure-kinect-sensor-sdk:x64-linux

Windows build works great here, only linking on this platform is an issue

[NancyLi1013]

Hi @aspioupiou

If you want to build static, you should try to install azure-kinect-sensor-sdk:x64-windows-static first, then use it in your project.

For the linkage issue, there is no error when I build azure-kinect-sensor-sdk:x64-windows.(Note: Not just install it, I also build the project that this port used)

For the build issue on Linux, the result is as expected. Since azure-kinect-sensor-sdk currently doesn't support Linux and OSX.
Please see here.
https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/scripts/ci.baseline.txt#L95
I think it would be better to add Supports: !(linux | osx)to CONTROL file and also add the unsupported message in portfile.cmake to remind the users.

[aspioupiou]

I think it would be better to add Supports: !(linux | osx) to CONTROL file and also add the unsupported message in portfile.cmake to remind the users. Yes, definitely this is a good idea since I thought a message would be displayed if trying to install a package on an incompatible platform.

For the windows link stuff, I'm AFO at the moment, I will try and tell you the result as soon as I'm back !

Thank you !

Hi @aspioupiou
Any updates about this?

[aspioupiou]

Hi,

Good for me now, I think we can close this one !

[NancyLi1013]

Cool! Thanks for your feedback.

I'm closing this issue for now.
