What's next after cmake install process?

[MikHaiLz404]

Sorry everyone for a silly question, But I'm a fresh of code compile process.
At first I already got a build with a command below

cmake --install cmake-build --config Release

Also, after looking around in the target folder, I couldn't figure out how to run the open RV.
I have included folder structure that was created after the build for you to see. Please explain the next step to me.

in the bin directory should be a rv.exe (I guess, I'm not on Windows) which you can run

Thanks @marcomeyerVFX about the reply 😃
I though the same as you but when I didn't find rv.exe or something might be related in the bin folder.
I sorted with executable file above the red line and attached the image to show you.

@MikHaiLz69 That means there were some errors during the build process. Unfortunately the build process doesn't stop then so it might be not obvious that there was an error.
You can write the whole output of the build process to a log file and then search it for errors: #3 (comment)

[MikHaiLz404]

Thanks @RichardFrangenberg , I will check the log and find the error and fix it.

[BrianHanke]

I had a similar problem, convo here: #3

In the end I used an Azure VM to build OpenRV. There was something weird with the settings on my laptop so it was better just to start with a clean system.

I did compile open-rv and did not get any error. I am also facing same issue. No rv.exe file in bin folder.
Here what I used:

Window 11
Visual Studio 2019 With Window 10 and 11 SDK
Qt 5.15.2

Command:
cmake -B cmake-build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DRV_DEPS_WIN_PERL_ROOT=/c/Strawberry/perl/bin -DRV_DEPS_QT5_LOCATION=/c/Qt/5.15.2/msvc2019_64
cmake --build cmake-build --config Release --target rv -j8
cmake --install cmake-build --config Release

Hi @rajiv-hqvfx. There are three commands there. The first one configures cmake, the second one builds the dependencies and the third builds RV.

It looks like the output you pasted is coming from the configure command, which completed successfully. Were there any errors from either of the two build commands? If the build did not complete successfully, the error is likely within one of these.

Note that if it is easier for you, you can do source rvcmds.sh from the root folder, followed by rvmk to do it all for you automatically (please ensure the paths that are printed in the shell from the source command are correct before doing rvmk).

[rajivfx]

I don't have JOM installed in my pc. Is this mandatory for build?
I found this build error:

jom: C:\openrv\OpenRV\cmake-build_deps\rv_deps_pyside2-src\pyside3_build\py3.9-qt5.15.2-64bit-release\shiboken2\Makefile [all] Error 2

Hi @rajiv-hqvfx. Yes jom is needed to build. If you don't have it installed, you can find instructions her in the Windows build instructions on how to do it : https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenRV/blob/main/doc/build_system/config_windows.md

Specifically here:

Note: You will also need jom, and it is included with Qt Creator (available from the Qt online installer). If you do not want to install Qt Creator, you can download it from here and copy the executable into the QT installation root directory under Tools/QtCreator/bin/jom.
