Install from source errors

[Kats1247]

Hello,

following the instructions for building cadet from source as outlined in BUILD-WINDOWS.md but also tried the alternative methods listed in the following thread:

Install from source - Build for MS Windows

Hey everybody, since I had some problems building CADET for MS Windows with the installation guide on the CADET webpage and Bill helped me out differently as suggested. I figured that a short summary of the steps would be clever. If you think its worth sharing, we could also move it to a public section later on. Build for MS Windows: The following instructions are not based on any sequence, but it is recommended to work through them deterministically from top to bottom. If programs or settin…

I keep getting fatal errors just before I install: msbuild.exe INSTALL.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64.
When I follow the step by step procedure by downloading the individual components (e.g., HDF5, Sundials, etc.) I end up getting this error in this step: " cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<ROOT>\cadet" -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DBLA_VENDOR=Intel10_64lp_seq -DENABLE_STATIC_LINK_LAPACK=ON ..\code\" and this is what appears on my CMD:

Any idea what might cause it?

Hey Kostas,

the guide you followed is outdated and will be archived soon.

Please follow this guide and use this branch of CADET. If you’ve made changes to the CADET source code, you will need to rebase them onto this updated branch.

If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Hi Ronald,

Thank you so much for your quick response to the matter.
Unfortunately, when trying this method I am receiving a different type of error at the install step again:

Let me clarify that I considered all the steps very carefully.

Thank you in advance,

That looks like you’re building the Matlab interface. We do not use that internally, so errors such as these may show up every once in a while.
If you don’t need the Matlab interface, add

-DENABLE_CADET_MEX=OFF

to your CMake flags.

Thank you both Samuel and Ronald for the suggestions. The compilation worked fine.

Best regards,
Kostas
