Can I Install MPI-IS/mesh on windows?

The code by itself is not specific to mac or linux (even GDAL), but we never took the time to adjust for Windows.

[laurapalmer99]

It's a pity, but thanks for your reply. I was trying to install it on windows for hours and I couldn't find out how. so, good to know the answer. :)

If you are able to install boost on Windows, I believe you did 75% of the work. The rest is passing the --boost-location=$BOOST_ROOT to the setup.py script (and maybe installing the dependencies prior to that, see https://github.com/MPI-IS/mesh/blob/master/Makefile#L62)

I'll give it a try and consider installing Linux if it doen's work. thanks!

I've just created PR #34 which should fix the compilation on Windows with MSVC.

[radekd91]

Could anybody take a look at the PR #34 which fixes the compilation on Win? @jcpassy , @raffienficiaud .

Hi @coloss , thanks a lot for your PR. We are not forgetting you. :)
As soon as we have some time to allocate to this project, we will look into it.
Cheers!

Hi, @laurapalmer99 ，do you install MPI-IS/mesh on windows successfully,could you give me some advice on installing it on windows?

I run part of this library in win10 with amd cpu.

1. First you need to build boost(run bootstrap.bat and b2.exe install prefix =xxxxx) and copy the include dir.
2. Run "pip install --no-deps --install-option="--boost-location=xxxx\build\include\boost-1_74"" --verbose --no-cache-dir ."
3. Run "python setup.py sdist"
4. Run "python setup.py --verbose build_ext --boost-location=xxxx\build\include\boost-1_74 bdist_wheel"
5. step 4 will raise error "can not find CGAL/AABB_tree.h" you need to copy "\build\temp.win-amd64-3.7\CGAL-4.7" to ".\build\temp.win-amd64-3.7\Release\CGAL-4.7" to fix the path problem
6. Run Step4 again
7. I found that building extension "visibility" will cause linking error, so I commented out the line 203 of setup.py
8. Then you can install the package

Hi @zhangyux15 ,
In step 2 I get:
ERROR: You must give at least one requirement to install (see "pip help install")
Could you please check?

Thank you.

Hi @zhangyux15 , what should i have to give in this location ( --boost-location=xxxx\build\include\boost-1_74 ) ??

[Kyle-z1996]

@olga-2020-Feb have you solve it?

Try this command to install:
psbody root > python setup.py install --boost-location <boost_root>

It works in my win11 system.

Hi @zhangyux15 , when I run the step 4, I got some errors. Could you help me?

And here is my command: pip install --no-deps --config-settings="--boost-location=C:\local\boost\include\boost-1_73" --verbose --no-cache-dir .
