Praxis stopped building again?

Simulation Modeling Toolkit (SMTK) Software Process
1

Is this a known issue? I remember it was discussed last week, but I cannot find any dashboard reports since March 19.

I am interested because I just hit a strange-looking error building smtk on windows. The interesting part is the error messages that state “No such file or directory” refer to files that, in fact, exist. I think that there is plenty of disk space available (I am in a docker container and there is no simple powershell equivalent to “df” .)

@ben.boeckel can you advise?

I think this is a symptom of make (nmake?) not supporting extended Windows paths. Does ninja work? If not, @aron.helser has reports of the paths being too long for Visual Studio as well; that may resolve this issue here.

Any chance you can switch to ninja? May be a few days before I get to the too-long-path fix.

Well,

  • If timing is really a few days, I can wait.
  • But if you think this might get sidetracked past the end of next week, then yes, I will redo my docker scripts.
  • Mostly FYI, I would prefer to stick with make because cmake doesn’t support fast targets with ninja.

@aron.helser just checking – has there been any change in status on this?

I’m planning to work on it (and hopefully finish) on Wednesday.

I notice praxis has not submitted to cdash since April 25th… is something up?
