Dwij_Mistry · March 14, 2022, 2:42am

I am following all build steps mentioned in [readthedocs] for release (Windows — 3D Slicer documentation)

I have tried both the way command line build and GUI build. but getting same error as bellow.

    Couldn't open file 'C:/BR/LibFFI-build/objlib.dir/Release/debug.obj' with CreateFile()

Can you please help me to solve this error. Thank you

The full build log shows that the first error is this:

Couldn’t open file ‘C:/BR/LibFFI-build/objlib.dir/Release/debug.obj’ with CreateFile()

I’ve checked my Slicer builds and in the debug-mode build tree debug.obj is available at c:\D\S4D\LibFFI-build\objlib.dir\Debug\debug.obj, but there is no such file in the release-mode build tree.

Have you ever attempted to build this Slicer in this build tree in debug mode? If yes, configuring the build in debug-mode first may have enabled some debug build options that did not disappear when you switched to release mode.

You can try removing LibFFI-build, LibFFI-install, and LibFFI-prefix folders and restart the build. If that does not fix the issue then it may be easier to do a full rebuild of Slicer (removing the entire C:\BR folder) rather than try to debug it further.

Are you using the very latest Slicer master version? If you do a full rebuild it could make sense to update to the latest version.

in CMAKE we are having this two entry for build type and missing CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES entry

#adding default build type
if(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
  set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)
endif()


if(NOT CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
  set(Slicer_DEFAULT_BUILD_TYPE "Release")
endif()

When Configuring project using CMAKE
it is taking default entry of

CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES : Debug;Release;MinSizeRel;RelWithDebInfo

To solve this we have to add this entry

CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES : Release

So, I also encountered this error, and updating to CMake 2.22.1 (from 3.17.1) fixed it.
