17:12 < rcurtin> zoq: #991 (appveyor build on VS2017 and VS2015) looks good to me, should I go ahead and merge it?

17:17 < zoq> rcurtin: Sure feel free.

18:44 < Carlos_> Hi all, i was trying to install mlpack library exactly in the same way that it's described on this page: "https://keon.io/mlpack-on-windows/", but in the last step i have a problem. When i try to build my 'mlpack.sln' i have so much fails and all are about "we cannot find mlpack.lib". Anybody has an idea about what's going on? Thanks.

19:17 < zoq> Carlos_: Hello, what's the output of the cmake command used in the last step?

19:17 < zoq> lool_: Let us know if we can clarify anthing.

19:17 < zoq> In case they check the logs.

19:18 < rcurtin> I don't have the original message from lool_, so it won't appear in the logs

19:18 < rcurtin> there was actually 20 minutes of downtime for ratml.org just now, first time in the two years it's been in this datacenter

19:19 < rcurtin> I thought maybe the system had gone down and I was getting ready to pack up and march down to the datacenter to fix it

19:19 < rcurtin> then it became accessible again, and turns out the system itself never went down, must have just been a network hiccup

19:21 < zoq> 20 minutes downtime in two years is not that bad

19:21 < zoq> The orginal message from lool_ "I don't understand this chat system :/"

20:10 < zoq> Carlos_: Hello there, did you see my message in the logs?

20:11 < Carlos_> yes, i am watching it right now

20:11 < Carlos_> the last thing that appears on cmake is: "build files have been written to: C:/projects/armadillo/build

20:12 < Carlos_> so i suppose that this step its ok

20:12 < zoq> Do you get the same output for the mlpack step?

20:14 < Carlos_> only one thing is different

20:14 < Carlos_> i am doing it again and it appears a warning:

20:14 < Carlos_> could not find pkgconfig

20:15 < Carlos_> the rest its exactly the same

20:16 < Carlos_> and i didnt had problems compiling armadillo library

20:16 < zoq> okay, you can ignore the pkgconfig warning on windows

20:18 < zoq> I guess you have visual studio 2015 or 2017?

20:18 < Carlos_> 2017

20:18 < Carlos_> but i changed the command line

20:19 < Carlos_> to "Visual Studio 15 2017 x64"

20:19 < Carlos_> and also, one of the boots package

20:20 < Carlos_> which has another version

20:20 < Carlos_> so the next step is open "mlpack.sln" and compile, right?

20:20 < zoq> yes

20:20 < Carlos_> but it doenst work

20:21 < zoq> I wonder what happens if you don't adjust the visual studio version and still use -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"

20:21 < Carlos_> no i changed it

20:22 < Carlos_> i used -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

20:22 < Carlos_> because using the first one, cmake didnt work

20:23 < zoq> Can you post the output on pastebin, github gists, etc.?

20:23 < Carlos_> the output of the compile? or the cmake?

20:23 < zoq> hm, strange, I used the same command for 2015 and 2017

20:23 < Carlos_> really? and it worked?

20:24 < zoq> the visual studio output if you hit 'Build Solution'

20:24 < zoq> yes: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mlpack/mlpack

20:25 < zoq> maybe appveyor does some magic behind the scenes not sure

20:26 < Carlos_> maybe, because if i put -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" it doesnt work for me

20:26 < Carlos_> how can i show u it?

20:26 < zoq> the output?

20:26 < Carlos_> yes

20:27 < zoq> you can post the https://pastebin.com/ link

20:28 < Carlos_> wait a minute

20:30 < Carlos_> https://pastebin.com/FdhA122W

20:30 < Carlos_> this is one

20:31 < Carlos_> and its about the boostlib

20:31 < Carlos_> i installed -vc140 in all of them and now it requires -vc141

20:32 < Carlos_> https://pastebin.com/ejrq9t3Z

20:32 < Carlos_> and this is the other one

20:49 < zoq> So you installed all boost dependencies (vc140) right?

20:50 < Carlos_> yes

20:51 < zoq> Are the vc141 libs in the same folder?

20:52 < Carlos_> no, i didnt installed vc141 libs, only vc140

20:53 < zoq> strange, wonder why it's picking up vc141

20:54 < Carlos_> should i install all the vc141 libs too?

20:54 < Carlos_> that's what i dont understand, if i installed only vc140 libs why it ask me for vc141

20:55 < zoq> I think it should work with the vc140 libs, but I guess it's worth a test

20:55 < zoq> I would move the vc140 libs before testing it again

20:56 < zoq> yeah, it's weird, haven't seen this error before

20:56 < Carlos_> ok, i can try it again and test

20:56 < Carlos_> what do u think about the second error?

20:57 < Carlos_> maybe it is in relation with the first one?

20:57 < zoq> maybe, not sure

20:57 < Carlos_> thanks for all mate

20:58 < Carlos_> i will put here the result of it, i will try again

20:58 < Carlos_> thanks for all the answers :D

20:58 < zoq> Sounds good, let's see if that helps.
