What is going wrong?

Are you running the wrong .bat ? It looks like the one to compile the libraries

You have to run "cmake-build-x64.bat"

Yes i got curious how to compile libraries.
I updated the getdeps.bat so it downloaded all the latest libraries.

But the libpng won't build

EDIT
Same error with openjpeg.

Got the libpng and openjpeg built.
Now easy part: QT, OpenImageIO, FreeImage.

did you do this when you cloned WindowsCompileDeps:

NOTE: you need git LFS extension (https://git-lfs.github.com) to clone WindowsCompileDeps repository. Or you can install and use https://desktop.github.com to clone the repositories.

you need to run
git lfs install
git clone https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/WindowsCompileDeps

The first time I tried I got all sorts of errors because I missed this, but anyway this is how I went wrong

https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/WindowsCompile

Yes i have GitHubDesktop.
The problem was few new addon libs had different names in CMakeLists.txt, where the build-deps-x64.bat links somewhere after the naming /target:"

OMG the QT is 315 000 files

, my drive will die before successful build.

Where do i link in openimageio the addon libs, it even want's it's own QT and a lot more.

I have left to go:
FreeImage3180
oiio-Release-2.0.7
qt-everywhere-src-5.12.3

How is the correct way to link for cmake?

The way i did, it does not like.

This is for OpenImageIO

I leave it be for now, it seems to be over my head little bit.
The build-deps-x64.bat seems to apply some old patches from WindowsCompile\support folder on top of new libraries. Some errors were unnoticed, at first, they were not in red or yellow text.

Found the cmake-gui.exe and fiddled around with OpenImageIO 2.0.7, i was able to link to all missing libraries and programs. But the cmake-gui.exe was not able to actually build anything.

I will rest and then maybe i look into building with visual studio, i found very specific tutorial how to build old version of OpenImageIO with VS.

The latest openjpeg didn't actually build correctly, also the ilmbase-openexr, had to use older version, but OpenImageIO complained the openexr 2.2.1 is 1.x and unsupported

The freeimage was another librarie with thousands lines of errors.

BigTIFF did not build, had to go back to newer version of official libtiff.

The build-deps-x64.bat applies patches that are meant to be used for the deps versions downloaded by the getdeps.bat.
If you update getdeps.bat to download latest versions, you also have to review all related patches. Many of them are likely no more needed, other could have to be modifed.

Many deps are not at their latest version to keep them aligned with the Linux deps, so that Linux and Windows versions of LuxCore are all built on the same deps. There are 2-3 exceptions to this.

Moreover, there could be something not working perfectly, also depending on the exact version of VS2017 you are using. I update those two files every now and then, not really on a regular basis:

The getdeps.bat and build-deps-x64.bat scripts are used mainly as a reference
for developers and are not guaranteed to be always up-to-date.

For example, it does not yet consider Qt5.

As far as I understood, Qt5 needs a lot of dependencies of its own to be built. Do you really need to build it?
An alternative could be to check out the Qt5 branch of WindowsCompileDeps: it has the Qt5 modules needed to build LuxMark.
In the luxmark_qt5 branch of WindowsCompile you can find a cmake-build-x64.bat modified to use it.
If you need more modules, I strongly suggest that you download a binary distribution and install the VS2017 x64 version.

But isn't it possible for this new version to disable those libs, since they are not needed for LuxCore? Like this, from the build-deps-x64.bat:

Code: Select all

cmake %CMAKE_OPTS% -D LINKSTATIC=1 -D USE_FFMPEG=0 -D USE_PYTHON=0 -D USE_TBB=0 -D USE_OPENGL=0 -D USE_QT=0 -D USE_GIF=0 -D USE_OPENJPEG=0 -D USE_OPENSSL=0 -D USE_FIELD3D=0 -D USE_OCIO=0 -D USE_OPENCV=0 -D OIIO_BUILD_TOOLS=0 -D OIIO_BUILD_TESTS=0 ..

Sorry that I can't help more, I didn't really dive into specifics of all libs, just tried to keep the LuxCore version working...

Thank you acasta69 for the info. I will dig into this.

I only need luxcore ui to be up to date, many libraries are not needed perhaps.
I found out about the vcpkg for windows, it auto builds everything, almost like linuxlike

I just got done building full boost librarie in 29 minutes.
