(CMake-VCPKG) KDSoap 1.9 build issue

[VictorKozachek]

Hello,

Trying to build build our project which deals with KDSoap. We use QT5. As for KDSoap 1.8 we can't see any problem.
We are trying to get KDSoapfrom VCPKG and that's OK. We can see libraries ets. The only problem is that KDSoap installs kdwsdl2cpp.exe into incorrect folder. It installs it to \builds\vcpkg-static\vcpkg_installed\x86-windows-static\tools instead of builds\vcpkg-static\vcpkg_installed\x86-windows-static\tools\kd-soap and thentrying to find it by correct path. That's not a big problem, we can move it manually. But.... Ok.

The bigest problem is that we can't build project due to linker problems. Wecan see such errors:

We can't see such problem for KDSoap 1.8

Thanks

I'm a bit confused. is the link failing when built with vcpkg recipe?
or normally outside of vcpkg?

I don't know where you're getting the vcpkg recipe for vcpkg -- we didn't provide one to my knowledge and I don't see kdsoap in the vcpkg/ports

[VictorKozachek]

hi. no. Building KDSoap 1.9 fromVCPKG is OK. I can't build my project when use KDSoap 1.9 from VCPKG

[VictorKozachek]

I use this template formy project https://github.com/lukka/CppCMakeVcpkgTemplate

Inside vcpkg.json I have:

{
  "name": "mycoolproject",
  "builtin-baseline": "50a4aa2be9c05e16d34c98369a8e1dd01796c3f0",
  "version-string": "2.5.0",
  "dependencies": [
    "zstd",
    "libsodium",
    "kd-soap",
    {
      "name": "libzip"
    },
    {
      "name": "qt5-base",
      "version>=": "5.15.9"
    },
    {
      "name": "qt5-websockets",
      "version>=": "5.15.9"
    },
    "openssl",
    "autobahn",
    "boost-dll",
    "boost-log",
    "boost-uuid",
    "boost-iostreams",
    "boost-locale",
    "boost-thread"
  ],
  "overrides": [
    {
      "name": "qt5-base",
      "version": "5.15.9"
    },
    {
      "name": "qt5-websockets",
      "version": "5.15.9"
    },
    {
      "name": "kd-soap",
      "version": "1.9.0"
    }
  ]
}

In CMakeLists.txt I have this:

add_library (${PROJECT_NAME} OBJECT)
target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC ${INCLUDE_DIRS})

target_sources(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE ${SRC_FILES} ${HDR_FILES})

add_subdirectory(tasks)

find_package(KDSoap 1.9 CONFIG REQUIRED)

set (LIB_EXTRA_LINK_LIBS 
    Qt5::WinMain
    KDSoap::kdsoap
)
target_link_libraries( ${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE ${LIB_EXTRA_LINK_LIBS})

I can now configure my project withCMake and that will build and installVCPKG with KDSoap. During VCPKG building I can see such error:

1> [CMake] CMake Error at builds/mycoolproject-vcpkg-static/vcpkg_installed/x86-windows-static/share/KDSoap/KDSoapTargets.cmake:89 (message):

That error is connected to the fact that KDSoap tool has been installed by wrong path. Yes,we can move that tool by correct path and it will configure project withut any problem, but we can't do such thing with autobuild, say with TeamCity.

Ok. After configuration I'm trying to build my project and can see linker errors.

If I use KDSoap 1.8 I will be able to build my project.

[VictorKozachek]

I'm trying to do that on VS 2022

[winterz]

I had no idea that there was a vcpkg port for kdsoap.

sorry, but this is something you'll need to discuss with the vcpkg people as we were not involved.

Hint: looking in the kd-soap portfile.cmake I see that they are building for Qt6

Hint2: we do provide recipes for homebrew and various linux distros. We solved the qt5/qt6 issue in those by providing recipes for kdsoap-qt5 and kdsoap-qt6

[VictorKozachek]

I use this port and master branch https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/tree/master/ports/kd-soap
