CMake ignores $CC and $CXX?












0















I am trying to compile OpenCV from source on Windows 10 because I thought this to be the way to incorporate the surface matching module into the library. I tried to follow the installation instructions here but when I try to execute the installOCV.sh from inside the gitbash like described, it fails halfway when CMake tries to testcompile with the C and C++ compiler. The script output is this:



$ ./installOCV.sh

Obviously neither $CC nor $CXX are taken into consideration by CMake, although they exist:



$ echo $CC
c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Enterprise/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.11.25503/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe

$ echo $CXX
c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Enterprise/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.11.25503/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe


PS: of course there could be some problem with spaces in filenames, but I tried gcc with a no-space path and the result was literally the same.

  • Try not setting CC or CCX when using Visual Studio and see if it fixes the issue. It probably interferes with the normal operation of Visual Studio tools like MSBuild. Normally you don't need to set these variables.

    You will need to change the line in installOCV.sh to reflect that: CMAKE_CONFIG_GENERATOR="Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" should be changed to CMAKE_CONFIG_GENERATOR="Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

Obviously neither $CC nor $CXX are taken into consideration by CMake, although they exist:



$ echo $CC
c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Enterprise/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.11.25503/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe

mark@zws103 MINGW64 /c/lib
$ echo $CXX
c:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Enterprise/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.11.25503/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe


PS: of course there could be some problem with spaces in filenames, but I tried gcc with a no-space path and the result was literally the same.



$ $CC
bash: c:/Program: No such file or directory

I am trying to compile OpenCV from source on Windows 10 because I thought this to be the way to incorporate the surface matching module into the library. I tried to follow the installation instructions here but when I try to execute the installOCV.sh from inside the gitbash like described, it fails halfway when CMake tries to testcompile with the C and C++ compiler. The script output is this:



$ ./installOCV.sh

  • Try not setting CC or CCX when using Visual Studio and see if it fixes the issue. It probably interferes with the normal operation of Visual Studio tools like MSBuild. Normally you don't need to set these variables.

CMake is a two step process. The first step creates a set of makefiles or project files that can be used by the compiler. In this case you want to create MS Visual Studio project files.



The basic CMake commands are:



cmake <path to CMakelists.txt"> -G "<the type of compiler I want to use>" [Lots of other parameter options]
cmake --build <path to project files> [lots of other options]


The first line creates the build files needed by the compiler. The generator flag -G specifies the compiler being used. The project file creation also searches for any needed libraries, etc to ensure that the build will work.



The second line does the actual compiling.



The InstallOCV.sh script just sets up a lot of these params for you but it is essentially doing the above two calls in a slightly more complicated way.

    Try and download C and C++ compilers via MinGW.
    The files would be named gcc.exe and g++.exe for C and C++ respectively. Add them to the environment path variable and then execute your shell file.



    I hope this helps!

    • Thanks, but my question specifically targets an installation with Visual C++ under the hood. I at least wanted to try and go this route because the (big) part of my application which will not be image processing, is deeply rooted in a .NET environment and I am so new to the field that I didn't want a gap between those two parts, for debugging reasons. If this is silly, please tell me.

      cmake <path to CMakelists.txt"> -G "<the type of compiler I want to use>" [Lots of other parameter options]
      cmake --build <path to project files> [lots of other options]


      The first line creates the build files needed by the compiler. The generator flag -G specifies the compiler being used. The project file creation also searches for any needed libraries, etc to ensure that the build will work.



      The second line does the actual compiling.



      The InstallOCV.sh script just sets up a lot of these params for you but it is essentially doing the above two calls in a slightly more complicated way.

        CMake is a two step process. The first step creates a set of makefiles or project files that can be used by the compiler. In this case you want to create MS Visual Studio project files.



        The basic CMake commands are:



        cmake <path to CMakelists.txt"> -G "<the type of compiler I want to use>" [Lots of other parameter options]
        cmake --build <path to project files> [lots of other options]

            Try and download C and C++ compilers via MinGW.
            The files would be named gcc.exe and g++.exe for C and C++ respectively. Add them to the environment path variable and then execute your shell file.



            I hope this helps!

            • Thanks, but my question specifically targets an installation with Visual C++ under the hood. I at least wanted to try and go this route because the (big) part of my application which will not be image processing, is deeply rooted in a .NET environment and I am so new to the field that I didn't want a gap between those two parts, for debugging reasons. If this is silly, please tell me.
