problem on windows visual studio 2013 express

[flj]

I followed your guide and created a project for msvs 2013. However, compiling gives an error in the cxsparse project.

error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*

in cs.h for project cxsparse

Is this simply a suitesparse problem or someway related to the package? Anyone else has similar issues? I use version 4.2.1

Cheers

Thanks for reporting!

It's fixed in master now with a workaround (not a real solution): by default, complex number support is disabled via a CMake variable "HAVE_COMPLEX".

Please, report the build error upstream (to Tim Davis or a user mailing list) so they can help you in case you really need complex numbers.

Hello jlblancoc,
Could you tell me how to turn HAVE_COMPLEX off? I still have the same error with vs2013

[jlblancoc]

I just tried again with vs2013 and can confirm that SuiteSparse 4.4.1 builds nicely with Visual Studio 2013.

@letienhung: open cmake-gui, uncheck HAVE_COMPLEX, press Configure, then Generate, and rebuild from the Visual Studio IDE.

Very strange, I don't have entry HAVE_COMPLEX in cmake-gui when I press Configure. I try to add HAVE_COMPLEX with type BOOL, uncheck it and press Configure again but the same errors still appear.

In file CMakeCache.txt, I have "HAVE_COMPLEX:BOOL=OFF" at line 198 and "HAVE_COMPLEX_H:INTERNAL=1" at line 427.

I have to remove cxsparse from SUBPROJECTS_TO_ADD and everything is ok.

My setting is: Win7 x64, VS2013, cmake-3.1.0-rc1, SuiteSparse 4.4.1

Have you syncronized with the latest version of suitesparse-for-windows
from GitHub??

I use the latest package suitesparse-metis-for-windows-1.2.1 from github. Anyway, I don't use cxsparse so it is ok for me to remove it.

[jlblancoc]

Latest is 1.2.2:
https://github.com/jlblancoc/suitesparse-metis-for-windows/releases

I have updated the out-dated links in the front page.
