Hi !
Id like to try building in Windows 7/64, CMake & MS Visual C++ 2010 BUT…
I cant resolve lib boost, openimage and cycles etc integration into C:\BlenderSVN tree.
Any suggestions (I DONT mean linux for now 
??
How incorporate up-to-date trunks into my local tree and resolve all the dependencies properly ?
regards
bluecd
libboost gives error LNK2019 and 2001
(…)BlenderSVN\blender\msvc_project\bin\Release\blender.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Make sure who have placed your lib folder correctly, it should be in the same directory as the folder with the source you’re trying to compile:
As per http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Windows/msvc/CMake
svn puts all the libs (except precompiled /windows and /win64) somewhere inside the TRUNK…?
Im also getting the same error bluecd. with the same setup.
Building Blender+Cycles in WINDOWS 7 64 / MS Visual 2010
Nice ! Does not help much though I feel much better…
(i have reinstalled MSVC et consortes pretty few times-still dont know if its worth trying to build my own compilations in time, most up-to date( svn control??) and eventually i am not sure.
just did my first blender build only a few hours ago, and by coincidence with pretty much the same setup (win7-64, cmake, MS visual 2010 + cycles)… i noticed a lot of peeps are having issues with lib boost, though i don’t think that config option even came up for me…? openimage failed for me too, but i dont have a use for that personally, so i didn’t include it. So I can’t help you out with the first 2, but cycles perhaps… i was specifically having issues with the CUDA side of things, is that where you have your stumbling block or are you just sticking with CPU?
still got similar problems (win7_x64, MSVC 2010 Express, all updates:
cmake configured w/ cuda_binaries, cuda toolki and cuda sdk*(no matter if on/off), problem w/extern lib boost persist.

I solved libboost* unresolved external symbol problems on Win32/MSVC 2010 by downloading new precompiled libs. I don’t now where to get precompiled Win64 binaries tough (Edit: maybe the binaries at http://boost.teeks99.com/ works).
Get the BoostPro 1.47.0 Installer from http://www.boostpro.com/download/, and select the Visual C++ 10.0, Multhreaded, static runtime and Multhreaded debug, static runtime.
After instalation, copy the following files from the boost intalation directory to the $BlenderSVN/lib/windows/boost/lib folder:
libboost_date_time-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib
libboost_date_time-vc100-mt-sgd-1_47.lib
libboost_filesystem-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib
libboost_filesystem-vc100-mt-sgd-1_47.lib
libboost_regex-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib
libboost_regex-vc100-mt-sgd-1_47.lib
libboost_system-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib
libboost_system-vc100-mt-sgd-1_47.lib
libboost_thread-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib
libboost_thread-vc100-mt-sgd-1_47.lib
Then update the BlenderSVN/blender/CMakelists.txt:
Find the lines:
if(WITH_BOOST)
set(BOOST ${LIBDIR}/boost)
set(BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR ${BOOST}/include)
set(BOOST_POSTFIX "vc90-mt-s-1_47.lib")
set(BOOST_DEBUG_POSTFIX "vc90-mt-sgd-1_47.lib")
And replace it with:
if(WITH_BOOST)
set(BOOST ${LIBDIR}/boost)
set(BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR ${BOOST}/include)
if(MSVC10)
set(BOOST_POSTFIX "vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib")
set(BOOST_DEBUG_POSTFIX "vc100-mt-sgd-1_47.lib")
else()
set(BOOST_POSTFIX "vc90-mt-s-1_47.lib")
set(BOOST_DEBUG_POSTFIX "vc90-mt-sgd-1_47.lib")
endif()
Run cmake and compile as usual.
Hi acilio
Gives an error after compilation for win64. Any idea?
error LNK1112: module machine type ‘X86’ conflicts with target machine type ‘x64’
E:\Blender Branches\Blender\cmake\source\creator\libboost_filesystem-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib(v2_operations.obj)
Big thx Acilio, that worked for me in VS2010 express, with windows 7 32 bit, in release mode for the build of blender 2.6.
However debug mode won’t build. Can you help? Here is the error:

demohero,
Sorry about that. The boostpro installer only have the 32bit version of the boost library… The compiler is complaining that libboost* are not compatible with the 64-bit target.
There’s some pre-compiled 64 bit binaires on http://boost.teeks99.com/, but I don’t know it can be trusted… But if you wanna try it, get the boost_1_47_0-vc64-bin.exe archive, just extract and copy the files listed in my previous post to $BlenderSVN/lib/win64/boost/lib instead.
PS.: The extracted archive is huge. Open it with Winrar to extract only the needed libs.
thelaw,
Ops… I think I need to look further on the CMakelist.txt. It seems that the release version of the libs are being imported to the debug mode of the project. But you can remove the references manually:
On MSVC10, select the Debug mode, go right-click on the blender project and select Properties. Select “Configuration Properties/Linker/Input” on the left-panel. Edit the Aditional Dependencies field. Remove the entries to
libboost_date_time-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib, libboost_filesystem-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib, libboost_regex-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib, libboost_system-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib, and libboost_thread-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib (but keep the *-vc100-mt-sgd-1_47.lib ones).
PS.: You will have to remove those entries every time you re-run cmake. I’ll have to check later to see why this is happening.
I got it to build in debug mode, but unfortunately it crashes as soon as it runs in visual studio debugger:
The program '[5544] blender.exe: Native' has exited with code -1072365566 (0xc0150002).
@thelaw
Is this the error you’re getting?
'blender.exe': Loaded 'C:\projects\blenderSVN\msvc-build\bin\Debug\python32_d.dll', Cannot find or open the PDB file
Debugger:: An unhandled non-continuable exception was thrown during process load
The program '[3672] blender.exe: Native' has exited with code -1072365566 (0xc0150002).
If so, take a look at: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Windows/msvc/CMake
It says that:
Without MSVC 2008 installed you may get an error like this on launch.
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc9159992). Click on OK to terminate the application. This is because python32_d.dll needs MSVC 2008 installed to run. Both the Full version or Express will work.
So even if you build with MinGW or MSVC 2010, to run debug builds you need MSVC 2008.
But if you only want to debug blender, use the RelWithDebInfo mode instead. It uses the release version of the external libraries but inserts the debug symbols on compiled files, so you can use visual debugger withou problems. Don’t forget to run the INSTALL project first.
PS.: I think we will only get rid of this problem if we recompile all the external libraries at lib/windows and lib/win64 using the MSVC10 toolchain.
That looks like the same error as the one I’m getting. Thx, I will get to VC++2008 sooner or later and give it a try.
OK acilio it works in VC++ 2008 express, in the debugger. Thanks for your help!
