Failing to build tensorestore as a cmake project

[georgeza-dev]

Hello,
I am trying to build and link tensorestore library with my c++ code.

I am using cmake approach and follow all the official instructions from here https://google.github.io/tensorstore .
Trying to compile and build cmake project, Unfortunately, I am getting the error below , related to protobufs :

[ 50%] Generating src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/any.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/api.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/duration.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/empty.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/field_mask.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/source_context.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/struct.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/timestamp.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/type.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/wrappers.pb.h, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/any.pb.cc, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/api.pb.cc, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/duration.pb.cc, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/empty.pb.cc, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/field_mask.pb.cc, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/source_context.pb.cc, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/struct.pb.cc, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/timestamp.pb.cc, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/type.pb.cc, src/google/protobuf/wkt/google/protobuf/wrappers.pb.cc

Any ideas would be very much appreciated,

Our CI builds tensorstore using CMake on every change, but environments differ.
Could you provide the exact commands you are using?

Hello, thanks for your response.
I am trying to build everything in Tensorstore repository, so I am using "cmake .. " from ./build directory and then "make" so as to get all the shared libraries.

At the end of the day, I will use it to read/write file based and cloud based zarr directories .
But I am lacking the way to build only the zarr driver, so tried to build everything.

Thanks in advance for your help.
George

Try using the Ninja generator for cmake.

cmake -G Ninja

Edit: The cmake build does output some files to generated directories, and I suspect that the make generator and the Ninja generator handle that differently; most of our testing uses the Ninja generator.
