Build issues

[Flamaros]

It can be difficult to build Aurora, because some steps of the build process can conflict with our own environment settings,...

For the moment I found few workarounds, but now I have this build issue when building external dependencies:
D:\AuroraExternals\boost\include\boost-1_78\boost/core/cmath.hpp(258,17): error C2039: '_copysign' n'est pas membre de 'std' [D:\AuroraExternals\build\USD-22.08-Aurora-v22.11\Release\pxr\usd\bin\sdfdump\sdfdump.vcxproj]

May you consider to put pre-compiled version in releases ?

[pixnblox]

It is possible that this issue is addressed with the recent release (v24.08)... can you check it?

[Flamaros]

I checked out the latest release v24.08 and try to rebuild all dependencies and I have exactly the same error.

So I tried with VS 2022 instead of 2019 and I have this error (with CMake):

EDIT:
It seems to be an issue from USD build system and OpenImageIO, I found that PixarAnimationStudios/OpenUSD#2158

I don't really know who should fix this issue or if I can use a workaround.

I am suffering from the exact same issue with Flamaros above.

[Hearwindsaying]

After spending some time looking into this issue, it seems that openimageio cannot find the external boost package installed by the script from Aurora. This is due to some weird setup in openimageio that only looks into, e.g. boost_filesystem-vc143-mt- without the specific boost version suffix such as boost_filesystem-vc143-mt-x64-1_85.lib. My current workaround is to rebuild boost myself with --layout=system (during b2 install) and rerun python Scripts/installExternals.py {EXTERNALS_ROOT}. Then openimageio will find the package successfully.

Another issue I ran into is that openimageio seems relying on C++17 to build the robin-map (not clear to me how the downstream C++14 works...) but the default CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD passed into openimageio is set to C++14. This is straightforward to update.

Building USD causes out of memory on my laptop (32G RAM)...just retrying a few more times and I am able to build all dependencies in Release config and Aurora itself (getting Plasma running). Hope it helps.
