Hi!
I have a problem setting up gitlab pipeline with Windows10 runner. I was thinking to put one of my project to Ci/CD and try learn some Devops ;) But I'm linux developer and setting up windows environment is giving me some hard time...
So... I'm trying to compile Qt Application using 6.4.3 version with cmake, and MSVC tools. This is my config for the pipeline:
variables: GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: none compile: tags: - mcs_win10 stage: build before_script: - - $env:Path += ';C:\Qt\6.4.3\msvc2019_64\bin;C:\Qt\Tools\Ninja\' - git config -l --show-origin --show-scope - git config --global user.email "grzes_rezmer@o2.pl" - git config --global user.name "Grzegorz Rezmer" - git ls-remote https://gitlab-ci-token:${CI_JOB_TOKEN}@gitlab.com/GoRo3/mcs-licancekey-controller.git - git config --global url."https://gitlab-ci-token:${CI_JOB_TOKEN}@gitlab.com/GoRo3/mcs-licancekey-controller.git".insteadOf git@gitlab.com:GoRo3/mcs-licancekey-controller.git - git submodule update --init script: - CMD.EXE - C:/Qt/6.4.3/msvc2019_64/bin/qtenv2.bat - C:/"Program Files"/"Microsoft Visual Studio"/2022/Community/VC/Auxiliary/Build/vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64 - C:/Qt/Tools/CMake_64/bin/cmake.exe -S . -B build -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release - C:/Qt/Tools/CMake_64/bin/cmake.exe --build build cache: paths: - "build"And unfortunately, pipeline fails with:

Cleaning up project directory and file based variables 00:01 ERROR: Job failed: exit status 1When I reproduce these steps on the runner machine in the cmd prompt it works fine and CMake can find all libraries and compilers. I have fought with it all weekend and have no clue what is wrong.
Looking forward to some help!

It would help to provide the full log. In particular, the output of this line:
C:/"Program Files"/"Microsoft Visual Studio"/2022/Community/VC/Auxiliary/Build/vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64
Also, dump out the
CXXenvironment variable before running cmake, just to see what its set to. Something like:- echo "%CXX%"Cheers.

Hmm. Well,
vcvarsall.batshould have done all cmake wants :shrug:You can always just go ahead and set
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILERto the path to the compiler, ie something like:cmake ... -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Bin\cl.exe" ...BTW, what does the
&at the start of this line do? (just curious)- "& \"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Community\\VC\\Auxiliary\\Build\\vcvarsall.bat\" x64"Cheers.

CMake will look into the
PATHenvironment variable in order to search for C/C++ compilers.With the
CXXandCCenvironment variables you can tell CMake which compiler names you are interested in. In the case that you have more compilers inPATH.The
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"batch file will set some environment variables that are needed by thecl.execompiler:PATHINCLUDELIB
In your setup the environment variables get cleared and CMake doesn't have access to them.
In my case I have:
PATH=Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.35.32215\bin\HostX64\x64;%PATH%INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.35.32215\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.35.32215\ATLMFC\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\VS\include;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.22000.0\ucrt;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\\include\10.0.22000.0\\um;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\\include\10.0.22000.0\\shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\\include\10.0.22000.0\\winrt;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\\include\10.0.22000.0\\cppwinrt;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\NETFXSDK\4.8\include\umLIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.35.32215\ATLMFC\lib\x64;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.35.32215\lib\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\NETFXSDK\4.8\lib\um\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\lib\10.0.22000.0\ucrt\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\\lib\10.0.22000.0\\um\x64
If you want to make sure that these environment variables are available to CMake you can have a
msvc-env.cmakefile with:set(ENV{CXX} "cl.exe") set(ENV{CC} "cl.exe") set(ENV{PATH} "path values") set(ENV{LIB} "lib values") set(ENV{INCLUDE} "include values")Make sure you replace all backslashes
\with forwared slashes/.And give this to CMake when you configure your project as:
cmake.exe -S . -B build -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -C msvc-env.cmakeThis way you don't need to fiddle around with
vcvarsall.bator what not. But you have to make sure that all version numbers are valid.I have an example using CMake Presets at https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-creator-9-cmakepresets
