"The C++ compiler "/usr/bin/c++.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program" on Windows 10 with Cygwin 64 about openfast HOT 9 CLOSED

Do you have GNU gcc and g++ compilers installed? If so, you can nudge CMake to use those similar to how you have asked it to use gfortran

CC=gcc CXX=g++ FC=gfortran cmake ../

from openfast.

If so, you must run anything compiled by CygWin within the CygWin terminal. This is from the CygWin website:

Cygwin is not:

a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.
a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX® functionality like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.

Your final problem looks like a path configuration problem where cmd cannot find the cygwin dll.

I believe this issue is resolved so I'm closing it, but @pfeja feel free to open it again, if necessary.

I just tried this, but I get the same error.

Edit: I might add, that during the installation of Cygwin due to proxy settings I didn't select http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu and Direct connection, but installed it from another Mirror. However I guess this shouldn't make any difference...

from openfast.

@pfeja you can verify the compilers that CMake is using by looking in CMakeCache.txt. For example,

mbp@~/Development/openfast/build: grep -ni "cxx_compiler" CMakeCache.txt 
87:CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/c++
603://ADVANCED property for variable: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER
604:CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-ADVANCED:INTERNAL=1

Could you verify that you are indeed using the c++ compiler you expect?

If CMake did not pick up gcc, try deleting CMakeCache.txt and running CMake again.

from openfast.

And FYI you can also see the other compilers by searching for cmake_c_compiler and cmake_fortran_compiler.

from openfast.

After temporarily renaming the opal-rt directory, deleting the CMakeCache.txt file and running cmake with your recommended settings, and additionally, with -DCMAKE\_INSTALL\_PREFIX:PATH=$HOME/software, it compiles and runs when running inside the Cygwin Shell.

But then I added the C:\cygwin64\lib\lapack and C:\cygwin64\home\FejPau\software\bin to my PATH in the Control Panel and tried to run openfast -h from Command prompt and it complains about not finding all the Cygwin DLL files like cygwin1.dll

EDIT: I also added C:\cygwin64\bin to the PATH but it didn't change anything.

What am I missing now?

from openfast.

I have created a workaround to run openfast from the Command prompt. I have created a .sh script reading
#!/bin/bash
openfast $@
and a corresponding .bat file with
bash run_openfast.sh myfile.fst
This helps, but doesn't solve the issue itself. Any ideas on this?

from openfast.

@pfeja Am I understanding correctly that you are trying to run the OpenFAST executable which you compiled in CygWin from the Windows Command Prompt?

Hi,
I am experiencing same issue as above. I am running a WSL ubuntu distro and using vsCode as my text editor.
Any help I could get on how to resolve this issue would be very much appreciated.
