For my thesis I want to use Dlib's face_landmark_detection, but I keep running into these errors (for both Visual studio 2013 as well as 2015):
"cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No such file or directory"
and
"'F77_INT': undeclared identifier".
It repeats itself so I have 36 errors based on these two problems.
My supervisor has given me some steps to follow to set up the project:
add dlib-master and dlib-master\examples to VC++ directories -> include directories
add dlib-master\dlib\external\libjpeg and dlib-master\dlib\entropy_decoder to C/C++ -> General -> Additional include directories
add all folders and items from dlib-master\dlib\external (cblas, libjpeg, libpng and zlib) to the project source folder
add the dlib source file (from dlib-master\dlib\all) and add face_landmark_detection (from dlib-master\examples) to the project source folder.
and according to him this has worked on every other computer so far, but on my laptop it just won't. We checked to project, but zlib.h is in the zlib folder in the project. Does anyone here have an idea on what might be going wrong?
If I didn't give enough info, please ask. I don't know what else might be needed to solve this.
I have just come about this same problem and wanted to post my solution since I have found so much conflicting documentation on the subject.
The folder containing the dlib folder as well as the libpng, libjpeg, and zlib folders from dlib/external need to be added to the additional include directories list in the solution settings.
dlib/all/source.cpp as well as the source files for libpng, libjpeg, and zlib also need to be added to the project.
Note that CBLAS should not be added to the project in any way, because it needs Fortran to compile, and it is very difficult to get this to compile from Visual Studio.
Finally, make sure to add DLIB_PNG_SUPPORT and DLIB_JPEG_SUPPORT as preprocessor defines in the project settings.
I also attempted to use a cmake generated solution, however, for some reason it had trouble with png support.
It is probably easiest to use CMake to configure your project which uses dlib. It avoids setting all those paths manually. During CMake configure step you can disable usage of libraries like zlib which you don't have/want/need. Here is an example CMakeLists.txt which works for me:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
PROJECT(DatasetClassifier CXX C)
set(dlib_DIR "" CACHE PATH "Path to dlib") # http://dlib.net/
include(${dlib_DIR}/dlib/cmake)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(DatasetClassifier DatasetClassifier.cpp)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(DatasetClassifier ${dlib_LIBRARIES})
Is it possible to build a single file in CLion and see the actual compiler command line being used?
I have a large existing project, which CLion managed to load however it fails to build, I suspect because of various CmakLists.txt setting. However as far as I can tell you can only build an entire project and it gets built using -j 8 so you get a lot of output which does not include the command line being used so it's hard to know what to fix. i know CLion does create a temporary build directory in .clion10 but I was hoping not to have to go a fish around in that.
Also as a newbie to CLion I can't seem to work out how to undock Clion Windows ( on a Windows 7 box ). The "Floating" option doesn't seem to let me drag a Window outside of the main Clion window.
You have to use add_executable command multiple times.
Here an example :
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)
project(test_build)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")
set(BUILD_1 main)
set(SOURCE_FILES_1 main.cc)
add_executable(${BUILD_1} ${SOURCE_FILES_1})
set(BUILD_2 main_2)
set(SOURCE_FILES_2 main_2.cc)
add_executable(${BUILD_2} ${SOURCE_FILES_2})
Old anwser :
You can use add_subdirectory(path_to_directory) to use an other CMakeLists and have multiples building process. ie: you have your cmakelists at the root of your project and multiple other in some files of your project. You just use add_subdirectory and you get other build options.
For your other question, on ubuntu i have to split the view and after i can drag in another floating window.
Under you can see one of my projects and the main CMakeLists.txt on the right
And the build options on CLion with this structure.
The CMakeLists.txt under the files are like full project builders.
My problem is that code::blocks error message tells me that it can't find file executable in the search path for gnc gcc compiler. Although, I don't know what that means. Also I typed out some code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void) {
cout <<"Hello World" <<endl;
return 0;
}
I can't build it or run in code::blocks. What do I need to do?
I went on line but I got some answers that are way over my head. I was able to use code::blocks once before I installed Visual studios express 2013. Visual studios didn't work right either. It kept asking me to repair or uninstall every time I tried to open it. So I deleted it along with code::blocks. Now that I re-installed code::blocks I still can't get to work right.
This problem with compilers is taking up all my time and I can't practice learning programming because I can't get any compiler to work right. I need some help, please.
I'm guessing you've installed Code::Blocks but not installed or set up GCC yet. I'm assuming you're on Windows, based on your comments about Visual Studio; if you're on a different platform, the steps for setting up GCC should be similar but not identical.
First you'll need to download GCC. There are lots and lots of different builds; personally, I use the 64-bit build of TDM-GCC. The setup for this might be a bit more complex than you'd care for, so you can go for the 32-bit version or just grab a preconfigured Code::Blocks/TDM-GCC setup here.
Once your setup is done, go ahead and launch Code::Blocks. You don't need to create a project or write any code yet; we're just here to set stuff up or double-check your setup, depending on how you opted to install GCC.
Go into the Settings menu, then select Global compiler settings in the sidebar, and select the Toolchain executables tab. Make sure the Compiler's installation directory textbox matches the folder you installed GCC into. For me, this is C:\TDM-GCC-64. Your path will vary, and this is completely fine; just make sure the path in the textbox is the same as the path you installed to. Pay careful attention to the warning note Code::Blocks shows: this folder must have a bin subfolder which will contain all the relevant GCC executables. If you look into the folder the textbox shows and there isn't a bin subfolder there, you probably have the wrong installation folder specified.
Now, in that same Toolchain executables screen, go through the individual Program Files boxes one by one and verify that the filenames shown in each are correct. You'll want some variation of the following:
C compiler: gcc.exe (mine shows x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe)
C++ compiler: g++.exe (mine shows x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe)
Linker for dynamic libs: g++.exe (mine shows x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe)
Linker for static libs: gcc-ar.exe (mine shows x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ar.exe)
Debugger: GDB/CDB debugger: Default
Resource compiler: windres.exe (mine shows windres.exe)
Make program: make.exe (mine shows mingw32-make.exe)
Again, note that all of these files are in the bin subfolder of the folder shown in the Compiler installation folder box - if you can't find these files, you probably have the wrong folder specified. It's okay if the filenames aren't a perfect match, though; different GCC builds might have differently prefixed filenames, as you can see from my setup.
Once you're done with all that, go ahead and click OK. You can restart Code::Blocks if you'd like, just to confirm the changes will stick even if there's a crash (I've had occasional glitches where Code::Blocks will crash and forget any settings changed since the last launch).
Now, you should be all set. Go ahead and try your little section of code again. You'll want int main(void) to be int main(), but everything else looks good. Try building and running it and see what happens. It should run successfully.
Just open your setting->compiler and click on the reset defaults and it will start work.
* How to Download and install CodeBlocks.* ( I have already downloaded )
***How to solve the CodeBlocks environment error.
Go to "Settings"----"Compiler"----"Selected compiler"( GNU GCC Compiler ).
Then, Selected "Toolchain executables".
Now, "( C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW )"
See Video : https://youtu.be/Tb1VnXs60Lg
I had also found this error but I have solved this problem by easy steps. If you want to solve this problem follow these steps:
Step 1: First start code block
Step 2: Go to menu bar and click on the Setting menu
Step 3: After that click on the Compiler option
Step 4: Now, a pop up window will be opened. In this window, select "GNU GCC COMPILER"
Step 5: Now go to the toolchain executables tab and select the compiler installation directory like (C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin)
Step 6: Click on the Ok.
Now you can remove this error by follow these steps. Sometimes you don't need to select bin folder. You need to select only (C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW) this path but some system doesn't work this path. That's why you have to select path from C:/ to bin folder.
Thank you.
For that you need to install binary of GNU GCC compiler, which comes with MinGW package. You can download MinGW( and put it under C:/ ) and later you have to download gnu -c, c++ related Binaries, so select required package and install them(in the MinGW ). Then in the Code::Blocks, go to Setting, Compiler, ToolChain Executable. In that you will find Path, there set C:/MinGW.
Then mentioned error will be vanished.
Uninstall/Remove your current codeblocks compiler.
Install codeblocks using this link that contains GCC compiler files: http://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/13.12/Windows/codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup-TDM-GCC-481.exe.
Now go to : Settings > Compiler.... > ToolChain Executables Tab
CLICK on Auto-detect button and then click OK button. Now just restart CodeBlocks and start writing your codes and use the Build and run option. It will RUN normally.
Fistly, Code Blocks is not a compiler. It is just an integrated development environment.
So, you must show the path of your compiler at first, (if you dont have a compiler you have to download an install, it is not difficult to find. f.e. GCC is good one.)
If code blocks could not find automatically the path of compiler it is an obligation to show it yourself.
But when you install, probably Code Blocks automatically find your compiler.
Enjoy.
This simple in below solution worked for me.

I had a similar problem. Please note I'm a total n00b in C++ and IDE's but heres what I did (after some research)
So of course I downloaded the version that came with the compiler and it didn't work. Heres what I did:
1) go to settings in the upper part
2) click compiler
3) choose reset to defaults.
Hopefully this works
I'm a total noob but I reinstalled over the codeblocks giving me these "Can't find file executable in your configured search path for gnc gcc compiler" errors by downloading:
codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup.exe
(IMPORTANT: make sure it has the "mingw" in the file download name, that has the compiler build that is required to compile the code which doesn't automatically comes with the main codeblocks editor software download because codeblocks already assumes you already have another compiler installed on your computer {visual studio 2019 or such}).
Then when I created a new project (console application) and used the defaults to quickly test it out.
It gave me errors.
So I went to Settings > Compiler > Selected Compiler set to: GNU GCC Compiler > Click on the "Tooolchain executables" tab > Click on Auto-Detect > Should say "C:\Progam Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW" > Click OK.
Build and run a simple hello world code.
Should work! If not, look for the "MingGW" in the C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks and select it.
Here's an easy way for Windows users.
Uninstall the existing codeblocks from your system.
Restart system.
Go to http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26
Download the codeblocks-16.01mingw-setup.exe file. It includes the GCC/G++ compiler and GDB debugger from TDM-GCC (version 4.9.2, 32 bit, SJLJ).
I'd like to add the libevent library to my Xcode project. I want to include it in the executable, because libevent isn't installed by default on Mac OS X.
I can compile the library from source using ./configure && make. I expected to find a .a library file, but there isn't. What do I do then? What files are relevant and how do I add them to Xcode?
Sorry for this very basic question, but I don't even know where to start.
First off, let's find out if your library truly got built. In the terminal, type in cd / and then find . -name libevent\* -print and see if the path for your libevent.a file actually appears.
If you can't find it, try running sudo make install from the top level of the library source code and then the library may end up getting installed in /usr/local/lib or some other appropriate place.
Once you do find the library, you can drag & drop it into your Project's list of Files in Xcode. Or you can include -levent in the link settings for your project.
Note that Xcode has this nasty "feature" that if it sees both dynamic and static versions of a library, it will always link against the dynamic one, even you specify the static one (.a) in your project. There's no way to override this "feafure" and you have to move or delete the dynamic one out of the library search paths.
There are various versions of this question but I havnt been able to find what Im looking for.
I have a bunch of cpp files in the OpenCV samples directory. I would like to create a project in XCode that can compile and build all the executables. I opened a new project, added all the sample source files, included the correct header files and the right link paths and then got stuck because I dont know how to make the project build and link executables for each relevant cpp file. Im guessing Im doing this completely wrong so any help would be appreciated.
In Xcode 4, click on the Project icon in the navigator which should bring up a Projects and Targets section in the main pane. There should be an "Add Target" button at the bottom. Just add a new target and then specify which source files you want in the "Compile Sources" section in the "Build Phases" tab.
Xcode 3 is should be similar. Add a new target and tell it which source files to use.
HTH
You don't need XCode to build samples, OpenCV on Mac OS X makes use of cmake to generate makefiles which, in turn, are being consumed by gcc.
Please read:
http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/Mac_OS_X_OpenCV_Port
So, assuming you have cmake installed, in OpenCV source directory run:
sudo cmake -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -G "Unix Makefiles" .
You have Makefile in your 'samples' directory now and can compile samples:
cd samples
sudo make
The sample binaries will be put in the 'bin' directory. Voilà!
