Cannot build SDK for Visual Studio 2017 / 2019 (luxparse.y problem ?)

[Phantom107]

Hello friends!

I am trying to install the SDK on my Windows machine so I can experiment / learn and get started on building a LuxCoreRender application.

I'm following the exact steps on the guide here: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/WindowsCompile

After calling

Code: Select all

cd C:\Rendering\LuxCoreRender\luxcorerender\WindowsCompile

And then

Code: Select all

.\cmake-build-x64.bat

.. it gets to work. It starts to process everything but at a certain point, quits the installation with a 'fatal error'.

This is what it says:

Code: Select all

I'll attach it as an image that is perhaps more readable:

Any ideas please?

Any ideas please?

It is a today problem, just use yesterday sources and they will work. We are fixing compilation on MacOS (https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore/issues/467) and today sources require an updated version of Bison. It will added in the next days to the Windows build chain too.

Alright will do, thank you!

This is now fixed in WindowsCompile repository.

The build finishes perfectly for VS2017. I tried to use VS2019 also but that one didn't work, so for now I'll use 2017! Thanks for the heads up guys.

VS2019 is working here and on Azure, but I have to say that I did not test too much with it.
If you could give some more info about how it fails (maybe in a dedicated thread), I might investigate a bit more.

No problem, I will let it rest for now, as the page clearly states:

Code: Select all

The officially supported version is 2017

I am happy to use VS2017 to build an awesome app!
