Error on configuring parallelstl using CMake on Windows

[mselim]

Complaining that a TBB CMake directory is missing, though TBB is not build (doesn't provide) CMake configuration and building

**CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:39 (find_package):
By not providing "FindTBB.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "TBB", but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "TBB" (requested
version 2018) with any of the following names:

TBBConfig.cmake
tbb-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "TBB" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "TBB_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "TBB" provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.**

Hi @mselim,

Parallel STL requires an installed TBB.

For binary integration (the simplest way) you need to download a TBB release (for example TBB 2018 U5 for Windows), unpack it wherever you want and pass -DTBB_DIR=<dir-with-unpacked-tbb>\tbb2018_20180618oss\cmake when you're running CMake for Parallel STL:

cmake -DTBB_DIR=<dir-with-unpacked-tbb>\tbb2018_20180618oss\cmake <pstl-root>

(supported starting from TBB 2017 U7)

Please try and let me know if it helps or not.

Here I've described an example for Linux.

Just I wanted you to know, I don't use TBB pre-built binary, I download the TBB src and build it using C++ Visual Studio 2017 (since there's no binaries for C++2017 yet), in this case do you think the above solution would help?

[AlexVeprev]

Actually you can use prebuilt TBB binaries for vc14 with Visual Studio 2017 (vc14.1), see this discussion for details.

If you still need to build TBB, have you considered TBBBuild? It'll create TBBConfig files for CMake.
You can set argument CONFIG_DIR <variable> as CONFIG_DIR TBB_DIR and CMake will automatically load the built TBB.

[mselim]

Unfortunately TBBBuild is unknown for me, the link doesn't provide any information. How can the TBBBuild help in this case, can you guide me a bit here, thanks in advance.

Closing the issue because there is no activity for a long time. Feel free to reopen it if it is still actual.

Hi, @AlexVeprev,
I follow your step in #13
It failed:

app@ubuntu:/tmp/build$ cmake -DTBB_DIR=/tmp/tbb2018_20180618oss/cmake /tmp/parallelstl
CMake Error: The source directory "/tmp/parallelstl" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

[AlexVeprev]

Hi, @linrio, you have absent CMakeLists.txt in /tmp/parallelstl project, could you please specify where did you get /tmp/parallelstl from? Also I'd suggest creating a new issue rather than posting into closed ones with another topic, it'll simplify tracking.

@AlexVeprev , I download parallelstl from https://github.com/intel/parallelstl
I created a new issue with Could not find a package configuration file provided by "TBB" with any of TBBConfig.cmake tbb-config.cmake.
