I do not know C++
, but I need to build C++ application - Osmium tool. I have not known that it is really hard to build C++ programs. What I want is just create .exe
file to merge maps. That is my simple goal.
On Windows you can compile with the Visual Studio C++ compiler and nmake. The necessary dependencies can be installed with conda. See appveyor.yml for the necessary commands to compile osmium-tool.
appveyor.yml docs says:
environment: matrix: - config: Debug - config: Release
shallow_clone: true
Operating system (build VM template) os: Visual Studio 2015
platform: x64
scripts that are called at very beginning, before repo cloning init:
clone directory clone_folder: c:\projects\osmium-tool
install: - cd c:\projects - git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/osmcode/libosmium - git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mapbox/protozero
build_script: - cd c:\projects/osmium-tool - build-appveyor.bat
I've done all the above steps and now I'm trying to run in Windows 10:
build-appveyor.bat
However,I see the error:
System cannot find the path specified
Guys what am I doing wrong? Please, help me! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just got osmium to compile for Windows after a bit of trial of error and research (wasn't very familiar with c++ when I started). Here are my notes -
Download and install prebuilt 64-bit boost
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost-binaries/1.63.0/boost_1_63_0-msvc-14.0-64.exe
In C:\projects
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/osmcode/libosmium
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mapbox/protozero
git clone https://github.com/osmcode/osmium-tool
- Checkout latest osmium-tool tag
VS2019
- Install desktop development with c++
- Install MSVC v140 - VS 2015 C++ build tools (v14.00)
build-appveyor.bat
- Update vcvarsall.bat location for VS2019 install location (VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat)
- Changed cmake_cmd "Visual Studio 14 Win64" to "Visual Studio 16"
- Changed toolsversion from 14.0 to Current
- ensure DBOOST_ROOT path matches installed path of DBOOST e.g. C:/local/boost_1_63_0
VS2015 community edition
Download cmake, add to path e.g. C:\Program Files\CMake\bin
build-appveyor.bat
- Update vcvarsall.bat location for VS2019 install location (VC\vcvarsall.bat)
- ensure DBOOST_ROOT path matches installed path of DBOOST e.g. C:/local/boost_1_63_0
Download latest nuget.exe and place in path (won't work in system32)
Run build-local.bat
Copy 64-bit release DLLs from bzip2, libexpat nuget pacakges to the same directory as osmium.exe
