Error "Cannot match vs include prefix" about sw

[egorpugin]

I've added explicit error message. Could you try it again?

sw.client.sw-0.3.1.exe.zip

[Telokis]

This is what I get when I try sw build

Exception in file D:\dev\cppan2\client2\src\sw\builder\command.cpp:1328, function detectMsvcPrefix: Cannot match VS include prefix (regex_search failed):
aff3-27f6-151e-36fd.cpp
c1xx: fatal error C1356: unable to find mspdbcore.dll

stderr:

[egorpugin]

Very helpful! Let me try to fix this.

[Telokis]

No problem. Let me know if I can help in any way!
(Can't wait to try sw)

[egorpugin]

Also can you send me sw -trace build output?

Ok, try next binary. Post outputs, also please check directories near cl.exe for mspdbcore.dll.

ps.: Thank you for your support! :)

PS: No problem, it's well deserved!

[egorpugin]

It's strange.
We have C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\x64 in PATH.
You say, dll is there.

Maybe you could try to run those commands (from output) in cmd window?

> set Path=...
> cd ...
> cl.exe ...

[egorpugin]

Oh, there won't be the source file there C:\\Users\\Telokis\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\sw\\cliprefix\\f900-c2da-63a7-afcd.cpp. Create simple 1.cpp with #include <iostream>.

[Telokis]

I didn't think about trying SW from Windows CMD, here is the output:

[egorpugin]

(I don't use CMD, I use Git Bash so there may be an env mismatch somewhere)

Oh. I'll try, maybe I can repro it locally.

---

Your log is ok now. Show your build script. From what I see, you need to fix packages (deps) from pvt.cppan.demo prefix to org.sw.demo.

[Telokis]

I don't have a build script yet, I didn't migrate so it's using my cppan.yml, there.

I'll try to create a sw.cpp to get the hang of it.

[egorpugin]

I see. SW have some beginner support for CPPAN syntax (cppan.yml).
That is why it tries to work on your script without any changes.

[Telokis]

Oh. I'll try, maybe I can repro it locally.

Ok, let me know if I can do anything else!

I see. SW have some beginner support for CPPAN syntax (cppan.yml).

Yes, I noticed that. I'm writing my sw.cpp file.
What is the purpose of api_name/ApiName?

[egorpugin]

This is exactly for shared build.
You can write target.ApiName = "MY_API";.
Then in header MY_API void f(); and it marks function as exported.

[Telokis]

I hope you don't mind if I hijack this issue for asking help regarding my new sw.cpp.

Here it is:

void build(Solution& s)
{
  auto& engine = s.addTarget<StaticLibraryTarget>("engine");
  {
    engine.CPPVersion = CPPLanguageStandard::CPP17;

    // Files
    engine.Private += "Projects/Engine/Source/.*"_rr;
    engine.Private += "Projects/Engine/Include/.*"_rr;
    engine.Private += "Dependencies/json/Json.cpp";
    engine.Private += "Dependencies/json/Json.h";
    engine.Private += "Dependencies/json/Json-forwards.h";

    // Dependencies
    engine.Private += "org.sw.demo.boost.filesystem-1.68.0"_dep;

    // Include directories
    engine.Public += "Projects/Engine/Include"_id;
    engine.Public += "Dependencies/json"_id;
    engine.Public += "Dependencies/glm/include"_id;

    engine.ApiName = "RAYON_ENGINE_API";
  }

  auto& cli = s.addTarget<ExecutableTarget>("cli");
  {
    cli.CPPVersion = CPPLanguageStandard::CPP17;

    // Files
    cli.Private += "Projects/CLI/Source/.*"_rr;
    cli.Private += "Projects/CLI/Include/.*"_rr;
    cli.Private += "Projects/Engine/Include/.*"_rr;
    cli.Private += "Dependencies/json/Json-forwards.h";

    // Dependencies
    cli.Private += engine;
    cli.Private += "org.sw.demo.boost.filesystem-1.68.0"_dep;
    cli.Private += "org.sw.demo.boost.program_options-1.68.0"_dep;

    // Include directories
    cli.Private += "Projects/CLI/Include/"_id;
    cli.Private += "Dependencies/glm/include"_id;
  }
}

I get this error when I sw b (from CMD, this time)

Just use the latest boost (hope it's ok for you). Older versions are not updated for sw changes.

    // Dependencies
    engine.Private += "org.sw.demo.boost.filesystem"_dep; // without version = the latest

[Telokis]

Ok thank you, that worked!
Is there a way to tell SW to output bin files to a specific directory of my choice?

And how would I convert the following cppan options?

local_settings:
  local_build: true
  build_dir: ./.cppan/build
  build:
    generator: Visual Studio 15 2017
    configuration: Release

root_project: rayon

[egorpugin]

1. root_project

auto &p = s.addProject("rayon");
auto &t = p.addTarget ...

2. local_build is defaulted in sw.

3. build_dir defaulted to .sw. Cannot be changed at the moment. I have some preparations to make it custom, but not now.

4. configuration: Release
   sw -config release ... or just -config r.

5. generator: Visual Studio 15 2017
   You must write it as compiler version.
   sw -compiler msvc-19.16 ...

6. Is there a way to tell SW to output bin files to a specific directory of my choice?

This is not very customizable yet. Outputs will be in .sw/out/*somedir*.
Where do you want to store outputs? I'll think how it could be implemented.

---

Also FYI: sw is able to generate very cool VS solutions. Just use generate command instead of build one like sw ... generate.

[Telokis]

1. Thanks, it's very clean but may I ask what it does, exactly? If I do not rely on a Visual Studio solution, is it useful?

2. Good to know!

3. .sw is fine for my needs.

4. Very nice! If I may suggest something, it would be nice to have a command to list the available/possible configurations and their aliases. (I guess there is release and debug at least, which is enough for my needs anyway).
   What is the default config?

5. Oh thank you, it's good. I have the same suggestion than for 4., it would be nice to have a command listing all available compilers. Especially because MSVC uses the most surprising versioning ever.
   I have both 2019 and 2017 on my computer, how do I know which one is used? (And where did you take the version 19.16 from? I know it's for the latest 2017 but I don't know where to find a reference for those.

6. I just wanted to store the output to <repo>/bin so that I can use a custom launch task to run it with special args just by pressing F5. (I use VSCode as my IDE)

---

It's good that it can generate VS solutions. I may give it a try since I'm using VSCode for now. (I do JS dev at work so I'm used to its configuration)

[egorpugin]

We have boost, qt projects. They define top level project. Also it's possible to define subprojects myproject.mysubproject.etc.

4

Default config is release+shared build. You already can use any combination on command line you want:
sw -config d,r generate - generate VS solution with release and debug configs.
sw -static -config d,r,rwdi build - build static configs d,r and rel with deb info.
sw -static -shared -config d,r,rwdi build - build static and shared configs d,r and rel with deb info.
sw -mt ... - VS /MT builds with static stdlib.
And tons more! Run sw -help

5

Yeah, my knowledge comes from studying MS VS versions. And listing would be nice, but it's about documentation task. I'm pretty close to start working on it.

6

I'll think about it.

---

We are talking here mostly in question-answer mode. If you miss some feature more than that, feel free to open separate issue. It's simpler to track them for me also.

[egorpugin]

This issue is fixed.
Run sw --self-upgrade to update sw client.
You could try it yourself in git-bash windows again.
Feel free to report any futher issues. :)

[Telokis]

Thanks! I confirm that it seems to be fixed!

I created three issues (#15 , #16 , #17) related to our discussion.
Thank you so much for your work!
