I'm having a difficult time with the installation process on Windows (including all the dependencies) -- would love some help in that area
< naywhayare>
hi avonmoll, I can do my best to help
< naywhayare>
Windows is tricky...
< avonmoll>
Is there a suggested alternative... like VirtualBox?
< naywhayare>
honestly, when I get it building on the build server again, I think I will just provide compiled Windows binaries
< naywhayare>
but I am minimally familiar with the proper protocol for distributing software on Windows (does it depend on the .net framework? which version? which libraries should I include?)
< avonmoll>
that sounds like it would be easier!
< avonmoll>
I'm basically starting from scratch -- just installed Eclipse C/C++ IDE today
< naywhayare>
yes, the problem is that the build server isn't compiling mlpack successfully right now, and I haven't yet figured out why
< naywhayare>
Eclipse on Windows?
< avonmoll>
Yep
< naywhayare>
ok... I've never done that before, so I can try to help but I'm not 100% sure

Starting build #2107 for job mlpack - svn checkin test (previous build: ABORTED -- last SUCCESS #2105 5 days 0 hr ago)
< avonmoll>
Ooooh yeah I had come across that once but forgot where to find it
< avonmoll>
So I used the installer to install CMake, but it doesn't seem to be linked into Eclipse at all
< naywhayare>
when I did it, I used CMake as a standalone program to configure mlpack
< naywhayare>
then I opened the visual studio project file once I got CMake to configure everything right
< naywhayare>
I imagine you can use an Eclipse generator (or something like that), so once CMake finds all the dependencies, you can open an auto-generated project file in Eclipse

Just tried to configure Armadillo in CMake and got this:
< avonmoll>
CMake Error: Cannot open file for write: C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/CMakeCache.txt.tmp
< avonmoll>
CMake Error: The source directory "C:/Software/armadillo-4.400.1/build_aux/cmake/InstallFiles" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
< avonmoll>
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
< avonmoll>
CMake Error: : System Error: No such file or directory
< avonmoll>
CMake Error: Unable to open cache file for save. C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/CMakeCache.txt
< avonmoll>
CMake Error: : System Error: No such file or directory
< naywhayare>
sorry for the slow response... I stepped out
< naywhayare>
does the directory C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/ exist?
< naywhayare>
or, sorry, hang on, I overlooked something else
< naywhayare>
it looks as though you chose the source directory "C:/Software/armadillo-4.400.1/build_aux/cmake/InstallFiles"
< naywhayare>
but I think you should have chosen the directory with CMakeLists.txt in it, which is "C:/Software/armadillo-4.400.1/"
< avonmoll>
Yeah, I have the CMake folder
< avonmoll>
ooo OK, I'll try that one
< avonmoll>
No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found
< naywhayare>
so, you have Eclipse installed, but do you have a C++ compiler installed?
< naywhayare>
Visual Studio is an IDE which comes with a compiler, but I don't think Eclipse ships with a compiler...\
< avonmoll>
Ah - that would do it.
< avonmoll>
I do not have a compiler then
< naywhayare>
so, if you don't have access to visual studio, your choices include MinGW/MSYS
< naywhayare>
and probably some others, but MinGW is the only one I know of
< avonmoll>
OK - installing MinGW C++ compiler
< naywhayare>
I have to go for dinner... I will be back later tonight, though, so if you leave any messages I will try to answer them when I get back
< naywhayare>
you can also use the mailing list if you like
< naywhayare>
there were some recent posts about using MinGW:
< avonmoll>
Alrighty - I appreciate the help. I'll probably try to finish the install process tomorrow during the day. How do you join the mailing list?
