error: Cannot open file ...../T-SPLINE-master/CMakeDoxyfile.tpl for writing

I have the following problem , after using CMake on Windows7

Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.17134.0 to target Windows 6.1.7601.
Found OpenMP_C: -openmp
Found OpenMP_CXX: -openmp
Found OpenMP: TRUE
OpenMP Found

The included script

compatibility, so the effects are applied to the including context.

I can't find a solution for this problem and so i can't debbug on Msvc 2017

... C;\Users/ ......... , was in non accessible language fron the compiler!!!
after setting different dir ,the problem was fixed!

[Jillinger]

@dimitrioui I am having this problem, and moved the directory several places, but get the same error. What do you mean by "non accessible language"?

[dimitrioui]

I mean that ..."�������" is in greek an perhaps the compiler does not understand the characters. But this is just a thought.

[Jillinger]

Oh. Thanks. Mine is in english, and it still complains.
I don't understand why.

[dimitrioui]

I don't understand why.

Mine also. I 've tried another one who hasn't greek name (as a PC), but same result. I use Cmake and i can build the solution. When i open it with msvc 19 (new) i can run only the "demo" project.

[Jillinger]

I was trying to find a way for cmake to exclude building the docs, but there appears to be no option for that. I'm trying to build libosmium.

This is terrible. I have spent nearly 48 hours just trying to get osmium. For some reason pip doesn't want to do it nicely.

[Jillinger]

Hey @dimitrioui I was thinking, perhaps I can create a CMakeDoxyfile.tpl file, so that one can be found. Can you give me an idea of what your CMakeDoxyfile.tpl looks like? What do you think?

[dimitrioui]

When I build with Cmake. I receive:

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:4 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
CMake.

Update the VERSION argument value or use a ... suffix to tell
CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

Is there pybind11.h in your system (as it seems to be included but is not recognizable)? Because this is what I get when the debbuging finishes.
Then when I copy the whole path I get another one: "pybind11\stl.h" is missing. Then I copy again the whole path, and I receive:
"Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'python38.lib' _tspline C:\Users\user\T-SPLINE-master\python\LINK 1 "

I think that something goes wrong with the "python" adjastments. I mean Build is fine but can't Debug.

[Jillinger]

I get the same thing about the cmake version.
I get Configuring done & Generating done on building the examples, but then when it starts to build the documentations is where I get that error.
I was going to create the file, and see what happens, but I want an idea of what it contains at the beginning and end, at least.
I looked at some tpl files, to get an idea. They often start something like this...

[= AutoGen5 template texi

...and ends something like this...

aginfo.tpl ends here =]

How does your CMakeDoxyfile.tpl file start and end?
I have pybind11 installed, and don't get a problem there.

[dimitrioui]

In the beginning it is like that:

Doxyfile 1.8.14

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Project related configuration options

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOXYFILE_ENCODING = UTF-8
PROJECT_NAME = "My Project"
.....................
......................
......................
and a few lines before the end...
"DIAFILE_DIRS =
PLANTUML_JAR_PATH =
PLANTUML_CFG_FILE =
PLANTUML_INCLUDE_PATH =
DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES = 50
MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH = 0
DOT_TRANSPARENT = NO
DOT_MULTI_TARGETS = NO
GENERATE_LEGEND = YES
DOT_CLEANUP = YES"

ButI see that it makes a file "CmakeDoxygenDefaults.cmake"...
and this file starts like this:
"#

DO NOT EDIT! THIS FILE WAS GENERATED BY CMAKE!

"
and ends likes this :
" if(NOT DEFINED DOXYGEN_DOT_CLEANUP)
set(DOXYGEN_DOT_CLEANUP YES)
endif()"

[Jillinger]

That looks so different.
I created the file, and put this in it

Doxyfile 1.9.1
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Project related configuration options
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOXYFILE_ENCODING = UTF-8

but that didn't change anything.
I still get the error
error: Cannot open file /cygdrive/e/libosmium/libosmium/build/CMakeDoxyfile.tpl for writing

I give up.
The next thing I will try is installing python 3.9, and see if it installs the osmium for me.
You can go ahead and close the thread. Thanks for responding. :)

[dimitrioui]

The problem seems to be the choise of the right compiler, but not only this (I have tried x64 and win32). The libraries included in the system might be a big problem as well. We have to do this manually if there are not present. Generally the compatibility of different versions of (compilers and debuggers) do not allow the user to put everything together so easy . The instructions given leave some crusial informations out of sight. Not intentionally.
By the way, where do we have to install pybind11.?

[Jillinger]

I use cygwin to build my projects where possible, since it keeps all my libraries in one place, and any it can't find can look in the path where I have libraries in gnuwin32, and so.
My pybind11 was downloaded with pip from python3.8 in cygwin. I also have it in my python2.7 on my system.
