Unable to build - Win 7 + Visual studio 2010

Post by karthiks »

Hey,

After downloading the source code and installing the dependencies, I tried to run the build. It fails saying cannot find cl.

I do not know how to copy the console output to here so sorry for not being more detailed.

Cheers,

Karthik
Regards,

Karthik

Dear karthiks,

Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 are not officially supported. You will find a -not-totally-up-to-date- list of supported environment in the FAQ page.

Hope this helps,
Yann

Dear karthiks,

you should now be able to compile latest SVN of OpenViBE with Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7.

Please use a fresh checkout and install the dependencies for Visual Studio 2010.

Your feedbacks are welcome,
Yann

Thank you.

I am now unable to download the code from the SVN repository. I am using Tortoise SVN Checkout on E:/Openvibe and from address svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/openvibe/trunk. It keeps giving me the same reply -

Command: Checkout from svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/openvibe/trunk, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
Error: Can't connect to host 'scm.gforge.inria.fr': A connection attempt failed
Error: because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
Error: established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Finished!:

Hello karthiks,

Your problem can be obtain when you have a firewall. It's possible the SVN port is blocked, that's why you couldn't make a checkout of the SVN repository.

I hope this helps,

Baptiste

Ah, that sounds like a distinct possiblity. Damn these university firewalls.

Thanks Baptiste. I managed to download the files from the openvibe website.

I managed to do the SVN checkout using https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/openvibe/trunk instead of svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/openvibe/trunk.

Username and password - anonsvn

Just putting it here in case someone else has the same problem.
