I am compiling kratos , and meet a question when run the configure.bat

[Ada2045lalala]

i use Windows Powershell to run the configure.bat：

`@echo off
rem Please do not modify this script

rem For any question please contact with us in:
rem - https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos

rem Optional parameters:
rem You can find a list will all the compiation options in INSTALL.md or here:
rem - https://github.com/KratosMultiphysics/Kratos/wiki/Compilation-options

rem Set compiler
set CC=cl.exe
set CXX=cl.exe

rem Set variables
if not defined KRATOS_SOURCE set KRATOS_SOURCE=%~dp0..
if not defined KRATOS_BUILD set KRATOS_BUILD=%KRATOS_SOURCE%/build

rem Warning: In windows this option only works if you run through a terminal with admin privileges
rem set KRATOS_INSTALL_PYTHON_USING_LINKS=ON

rem Set basic configuration
if not defined KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE set KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE=Release
if not defined BOOST_ROOT set BOOST_ROOT=D:\KratosMultiPhysics\boost_1_84_0
if not defined PYTHON_EXECUTABLE set PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=C:\Windows\py.exe

rem Set applications to compile
set KRATOS_APP_DIR=applications
set KRATOS_APPLICATIONS=
CALL :add_app %KRATOS_APP_DIR%\LinearSolversApplication;
CALL :add_app %KRATOS_APP_DIR%\StructuralMechanicsApplication;
CALL :add_app %KRATOS_APP_DIR%\FluidDynamicsApplication;

rem Clean
del /F /Q "%KRATOS_BUILD%%KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE%\cmake_install.cmake"
del /F /Q "%KRATOS_BUILD%%KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE%\CMakeCache.txt"
del /F /Q "%KRATOS_BUILD%%KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE%\CMakeFiles"

rem Enable this if your build is slow and you have a multi-core machine
rem set KRATOS_PARALLEL_BUILD_FLAG=/MP4

rem Configure
@echo on
cmake -G"Visual Studio 16 2019" -H"%KRATOS_SOURCE%" -B"%KRATOS_BUILD%%KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE%" ^
-DUSE_EIGEN_MKL=OFF ^
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=" %KRATOS_PARALLEL_BUILD_FLAG% " ^
-DKRATOS_GENERATE_PYTHON_STUBS=ON

rem Build
cmake --build "%KRATOS_BUILD%/%KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE%" --target install -- /property:configuration=%KRATOS_BUILD_TYPE% /p:Platform=x64
goto:eof

rem Function to add apps
:add_app
set KRATOS_APPLICATIONS=%KRATOS_APPLICATIONS%%1;
goto:eof
`

and got this result:

how can i solve it?

Hi @Ada2045lalala. There seems to be two problems in the log you send.

• 1. Please remove / uninstall or hide MinGW from the configure. This is what is causing the C2144 errors, as mingw libraries are incompatible with visual studio ones.
• 2. Please ensure you have Microsoft Visual Studio updated. MSVC version should be 16 to 19, but it appears to 14 in your log.

[Ada2045lalala]

Thanks for your help! @roigcarlo

i. I uninstalled MinGW from my PC and the C2144 errors disappeared. But there is so many C4819 warnings when I run the configure.bat . Will the C4819 warnings cause any troubles?

ii.as for MSVC version, I run a code, and get the result:

Hi @Ada2045lalala

C4819 its fine, its most likely a warning because our EOF character uses ANSI source files in windows (this is a encoding format for text files) and probably gets messy when trying to convert to a Chinese character table, but should not affect the compilation result.

I am not sure how to get rid of it but I will take a look and post it here in case I find something.

MSVC 1929 is fine as well 👍

Thanks！
another question. (I don't major in computer science or similar major, and I am sorry if I am asking a low-level question)
I don't know how to implement this sentence" set them permanently using the Edit the system environment variables option in the Control panel".

[roigcarlo]

Hi @Ada2045lalala

you can open it from the start menu:

then select the Environmental variables button (in the bottom)

And you will see this window:

There you can add/remove/change any system variable that you want.

[Ada2045lalala]

thanks again🌹
I guess I've finished the compilation.

[roigcarlo]

Yep everything seems to work fine!

If you have any other question don't doubt to ask.
