December 13, 2017 Building fails using VisualD; works under dub | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hi, After a long absence I am returning to D. So I see we now have dub as package manager. Nice! So I create a new package (dub init sample1) and pull in a dependency (dlangui). Then modify the source to use the dlangui lib. Dlangui pulls in some Derelict and X11 dependencies, but all works as expected. Nice! Then I generate a VisualD solution (dub generate visuald), and try to open + build the same project from VS. The solution opens fine and editing works fine, but fails to build with: Building f:\MyProjects\D2\VC2010\Dub\sample1\sample1.exe... cannot monitor 64-bit executable dmd, no suitable tracker.exe found Building f:\MyProjects\D2\VC2010\Dub\sample1\sample1.exe failed! Details saved as "file://F:\MyProjects\D2\VC2010\Dub\sample1\.dub\obj\ This just shows the error for the exe, but all the Derelict/Dlangui libs also fail to build with an identical error: Building lib\dlangui.lib... cannot monitor 64-bit executable dmd, no suitable tracker.exe found Building lib\dlangui.lib failed! The "cannot monitor 64-bit executable dmd" is a bit confusing... as far as I can see DMD is in fact a 32 bit exe. And I have no idea which "tracker.exe" it is looking for. I am running on: Win 7 x64 bit DMD v2.077.1 Visual Studio 2010 (x32 bit) VisualD 0.46.0 I'm a bit stumped at this point.. any help will be greatly appreciated! |

I forgot to mention: If I use Visual Studio to create a completely new project (File|New|Project|Other languages|D|Console Application) and simply try to build the skeleton project created by VisualD, I get exactly the same error.
So it does not seem related to the VisualD solution created by dub.
It looks like some kind of x32/x64 bit issue on VS.... but it is strange since DMD, VS and VisualD as well as the generated project are all 32 bit.

Searching on my drive I found tracker.exe is actually part of the Windows SDK (in both x32 and x64 flavours), so I guess what Rainer is referring to as "MS-Build" is actually the (command-line) build system of the SDK. But its location was not specified in my PATH environment variable. Updating my PATH with its location [2] cured the problem. [1] http://forum.dlang.org/post/oqa9in$2scu$1@digitalmars.com [2] c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\ So all is good again! |

I've fixed that for the next version. > [snip] > > > OK, so I found this on the forum [1], where Rainer indicated that tracker.exe is part of MS-Build. > > Searching on my drive I found tracker.exe is actually part of the Windows SDK (in both x32 and x64 flavours), so I guess what Rainer is referring to as "MS-Build" is actually the (command-line) build system of the SDK. It seems it is some variant/predecessor of MsBuild, as there is also an MsBuildHostTask.exe in that folder. > But its location was not specified in my PATH environment variable. > > Updating my PATH with its location [2] cured the problem. > > [1] http://forum.dlang.org/post/oqa9in$2scu$1@digitalmars.com > [2] c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\ tracker.exe is tried to be found in a number of locations, but obviously I missed this one. Keeping all ancient versions of VS and the Windows SDK working is not so easy... > > So all is good again! Good to hear that ;-) |
