Errors attempting to build on Windows (with and without WSL)

[pineapplemachine]

I followed the instructions here to try to compile NBA but I ran into errors: https://github.com/nba-emu/NanoBoyAdvance/blob/master/docs/COMPILING.md

First I tried to build using the Windows instructions. I started by installing the msys packages as indicated:

After this I tried following the Linux steps in WSL as well and encountered another error. First I installed dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install cmake python3-jinja2 python3-lxml libsdl2-dev qtbase5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev

Then after that was successful, cmake failed:

Yeah I got all these same errors. Screwed with it for hours to no avail. I will never understand why people still use make files.

[fleroviux]

Are you using the MSYS2 MSYS or MSYS2 MINGW64 terminal? The log seems to indicate it is the former but the latter should be used for working with the MINGW64 toolchain as far as I remember.

[fleroviux]

Yeah I got all these same errors. Screwed with it for hours to no avail. I will never understand why people still use make files.

Because they work? The error isn't even Makefiles related (it appears before any Makefile is generated) plus you can specify any CMake generator you'd like at your discretion.

No, i just always have terrible experiences trying to use makefiles. Every single time ive ever tried to build a makefile project, following the instructions to the t, it never works first try. Ever. And i ALWAYS have to fuck with it and massage it into place. Its just awful and theres so many better things out there.

[RMPowser]

fwiw, i was able to get a makefile generated, but it doesnt build anyway.

also if you generate a vs2022 solution with cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, it doesnt build either.

Are you using the MSYS2 MSYS or MSYS2 MINGW64 terminal? The log seems to indicate it is the former but the latter should be used for working with the MINGW64 toolchain as far as I remember.

Previously I had used the MSYS2 MSYS terminal. I tried again running the pacman installation command in the MSYS2 MINGW64 terminal:

@pineapplemachine Could you run which cmake and check which path it returns? Based on the error CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.27/Modules/CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake I'm suspecting you may have another CMake install in your path and it's using that instead of MSYS2's CMake.

[fleroviux]

@RMPowser Can you try adding -DPython_EXECUTABLE="$(which python3)" (with either the Unix Makefiles or Ninja generator) and see if this fixes it. This is to ensure CMake uses the python3 install from MSYS2 and not another one.

As for the Visual Studio generator, this probably uses MSVC by default as most likely does not work at the moment (as MSVC isn´t really tested as a compiler). You could try using Clang-cl, however I haven't tested this personally in a long while.

[pineapplemachine]

Oh, you're right, I did have another cmake install interfering.

However, the msys2 cmake install does not start at all. I'm getting this error window with a message about a missing DLL when I attempt to run cmake at all, even cmake --version. This is when running cmake in a normal Windows terminal.

Note that C:\msys64\usr\bin\cmake.exe fails with a similar though not identical error message,

I also tried running cmake in the msys2 mingw shell itself, but in this case nothing would happen at all.

I'm aware this would not be an NBA specific problem, but my internet searching did not come up with anything enlightening. I have generally had a foul time ever trying to get msys2 to behave.

[fleroviux]

Huh, that's an odd one, that I don´t think I've seen before

setting the correct python install lets me build it, but when i run the application, it pops up complaining about a missing libzstd.dll.

and heres the error message when trying to run the exe

[fleroviux]

I'm assuming you probably aren't running the EXE from the MINGW64 terminal, that's why it's not finding the DLLs. There are multiple possible solutions:

1. Just run from the MINGW64 terminal
2. Copy the relevant DLLs from your MINGW64 installation to the executable directory
3. Add the DLLs to your global path variable
4. Configure CMake to build a statically linked executable. You can follow the Github Workflow for building on Windows for this: https://github.com/nba-emu/NanoBoyAdvance/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml

Just run from the MINGW64 solution

Unless I'm misunderstanding, I did try that. (See the last screenshot.)

Copy the relevant DLLs from your MINGW64 installation to the executable directory

As far as I can tell, the DLLs do not exist in my mingw64 installation.

Note that the issue is that the msys2 cmake install simply does not run. I don't think changing the build config is going to help.

@pineapplemachine Sorry, my latest reply was in relation to @RMPowser
