Build and development on Windows OS

[ohartvic]

I would like to start contributing to mapper. I am failing to build the project on Windows. I was following instructions in the INSTALL.md, unsuccesfully.

Can someone please help?

Welcome, and thanks for asking. Can you tell us more about the specific problem? I do not use a Windows environment very often (for Mapper development).

Hi Kai, thanks for your reply. I can successfully run cmake. When running build step this is where I end: [image: image.png] Best Regards, Otto

... sorry, somehow lost the screenshot, see below:

The issue might have something to do with Windows OS, screenshot above is from Windows11 environment. I tried on two different computers, installing msys2mingw64 from scratch and no luck.

On Windows 10 it works - also tried on two different environments. So I am going to stick to W10 for the time being.

The failing code-check-wrapper.sh isn't really tuned for Windows. Either you completely disable the use of include-what-you-use and clang-tidy with these CMake options:

-DCMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_ClangTidy=ON
-DCMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_IWYU=ON

or you use the tools without that wrapper, e.g. for above error:

-DCMAKE_CXX_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE=C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/include-what-you-use.exe

Thank you, Kai.
