Compilation under Ubuntu Docker

[rhastie]

I've followed all the dependencies and successfully compiled the C++ REST SDK under cmake and gcc (quite a few warnings however).

I've now got to compiling the nmos-cpp and successfully ran cmake but under make I get the following error at approx 50%

/home/nmos-cpp/Development/cpprest/ws_listener_impl.cpp:17:47: fatal error: websocketpp/config/boost_config.hpp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
CMakeFiles/nmos-cpp-registry.dir/build.make:127: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/nmos-cpp-registry.dir/cpprest/ws_listener_impl.cpp.o' failed

make: *** [all] Error 2
root@ubuntu:/home/nmos-cpp/Development/build#

My cmake file is:

cmake
-G "Unix Makefiles"
-DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES:STRING="Debug;Release"
-DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS:BOOL="1"
-DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR:PATH="/home/boost_1_67_0"
-DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR:PATH="./home/boost_1_67_0/x64/lib"
-DWEBSOCKETPP_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="/home/nmos-cpp/Release/libs/websocketpp"
-DCPPREST_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="/home/cpprestsdk-2.10.2-nmos-cpp/"
-build /home/nmos-cpp/Development/build ..

I believe I'm correctly referencing the boost directories but any assistance on this compilation would be gratefully received

Resolved. I was incorrectly pointing to the incorrect Websocket Include Dir. Correct cmake command below:

cmake
-G "Unix Makefiles"
-DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES:STRING="Debug;Release"
-DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS:BOOL="1"
-DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR:PATH="/home/boost_1_67_0"
-DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR:PATH="./home/boost_1_67_0/x64/lib"
-DWEBSOCKETPP_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="/home/cpprestsdk-2.10.2-nmos-cpp/Release/libs/websocketpp"
-DCPPREST_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="/home/cpprestsdk-2.10.2-nmos-cpp/"
-build /home/nmos-cpp/Development/build ..

Thanks for the clear report.

I hope the problem is just these two variables:

-DWEBSOCKETPP_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="/home/nmos-cpp/Release/libs/websocketpp"
-DCPPREST_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="/home/cpprestsdk-2.10.2-nmos-cpp/"

The CPPREST_INCLUDE_DIR needs to point at the location of the C++ REST SDK include root, which I imagine is "/home/cpprestsdk-2.10.2-nmos-cpp/Release/include" for you.

The WEBSOCKETPP_INCLUDE_DIR needs to be the include root for WebSocket++, which I imagine is "/home/cpprestsdk-2.10.2-nmos-cpp/Release/libs/websocketpp" for you.

Please let me know if that solves your issue.

One other potential issue (unrelated to the problem you are seeing):

-DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES:STRING="Debug;Release"

The CMake CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES variable only applies to what CMake calls "multi-configuration generators". For the "Unix Makefiles" generator I think you have to use the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable instead, to specify a single build type, e.g. "Release".
