Errors with building slicercat template

Mrwa_Awoda · January 28, 2022, 11:35am

Operating system: windows
Slicer version: 4.11
I am trying to build the SlicerCAT as explained in https://blog.kitware.com/slicercat-creating-custom-applications-based-on-3d-slicer/ by following the exact instructions here Windows — 3D Slicer documentation

I have got error and warnings about CTK, VTK and simpleITK projects in the last step of the build process in VS while I haven’t change anything in CMakeLists.txt. would you please tell me how to fix it?

Details about error and warnings related to CTK, VTK and simpleITK projects

Here is the steps of the build process that I’ve followed … (in a screen record)

Still getting these errors and warnings:

There are two issues being discussed here:

Build error when creating, and then building a custom application following instruction outline in https://www.kitware.com/slicercat-creating-custom-applications-based-on-3d-slicer/
Build errors when building Slicer following instructions described on Windows — 3D Slicer documentation

@Mrwa_Awoda

If you would like to create custom Slicer-based application, successfully building Slicer itself will allow to confirm your development environment is valid.

I suggest we focus on building Slicer first.

In your last post, you copied some error messages. That said, we are missing the actual errors … which is probably reported earlier in the output.

It looks like SimpleITK failed to build … after opening the top-level solution file (C:\D\S4R\Slicer.sln) and selecting Release, I suggest you right click on SimpleITK and select Project Only then Build Only SimpleITK

This should help identify the SimpleITK specific errors.

Hi jcfr,
thanks for your response…
here what i get …

jcfr · February 3, 2022, 9:27pm

The relevant message seems to be:

LINK : falal error LNK1181:  cannot open input file 'optimized.lib'

Note: While screenshot helps understand the context. In addition, it is a good practice to copy the error message as text. This allow to easy copy/past the message (or part of it), and also ensure the error will be indexed by the forum search engine)

Question 1: Could you also check if ITK build successfully following the same approach ?

Question 2: Did you customize the PATH environment variable on your workstation ?

Question 3: Is there any registry entries associated with one of these key ? (see details and screenshot below)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Kitware\CMake\Packages\<PackageName>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kitware\CMake\Packages\<PackageName>

CMake User and system package registry

I am wondering if some other package built and exported on your system are interfering with one of the build-system.

We usually make sure no packages built by Slicer are exported to the CMake registry but it is possible we missed something with the recent updates.

More details can be found here: cmake-packages(7) — CMake 3.29.3 Documentation

Registry editor is found on windows typing regedit in the windows menu

there are no other packages have biult or exported in the CMake registry :

jcfr · February 3, 2022, 10:57pm

This seems to indicate you have either another instance of Visual Studio, a text editor or a terminal open in the directory … I suggest you close the applications and try again.

Mrwa_Awoda · February 4, 2022, 12:34am

Right, ItK build completed successfully!

unfortunately, still having warnings after building CTK:
