I have successfully built the FMILibrary with MinGW W64. At least no error message was shown. When it comes to installing PyFMI I failed with the gcc compiler as well as with several visual studio compilers.
This is the last message in the command line I get unsing the mingw compiler:
error: Command "gcc -g -DDEBUG -DMS_WIN64 -O0 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DNPY_MINGW_USE_CUSTOM_MSVCR -D__MSVCRT_VERSION__=0x0900 -IC:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\include -Isrc -Isrc\pyfmi -IC:\Users\Michael\Documents\Builds\install\include -IC:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\include -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c src\pyfmi\fmi.c -o build\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\src\pyfmi\fmi.o -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing" failed with exit status 1
Before the operation quits, I get several different errors similar to this:
src\pyfmi\fmi.c:82221:20: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'enum fmi1_status_kind_t'
if (sizeof(enum fmi1_status_kind_t) < sizeof(long)) {
I also tried compiling the FMI library with visual studio compilers, but this failed due to vsnprintf errors.
Consider I might have done some stupid mistakes, because I have never manually compiled any libraries or so.
I am thankful for any suggestions.
Cheers, Michael
Well, I fixed it. Here is how:
Removed latest Visual Studio installation, in my case 2015.
Installed Visual Studio Express 2010 from ISO.
Installed Windows 7 SDK from ISO. To avoid .NET version error, I used the setupsdk installer in the setup folder. Note: Make sure you downloaded the 64bit version of the SDK.
Installed SP1 for Visual Studio 10 an the compiler update.
Built and installed FMI-Library using latest cmake release.
Ceated an environment variable FMIL_HOME with the installation path of the FMI-Library as the value.
Installed Visual C++ Compiler for Python.
Finally installed PyFMI using the command pip install pyfmi in the windows command line.
This worked for me, maybe I can help someone out with this.
