I have trouble compiling the original project

The git commands are not recognized

If the git commands are not recognized (e.g. after having done CTRL + SHIFT + P and typed " Git: clone " nothing is displayed:

• Check that you have downloaded MinGW with Git : C:\MinGW\git\bin

  • If this folder does not exist : download https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.36.1.windows.1/Git-2.36.1-64-bit.exe
  • Otherwise modify your Path environment variable to add C:\MinGW\git\bin

• Check that your folder is designated as being trustworthy:

  • Click on the "gear" at the bottom left
  • Click on "Manage Workspace trust
  • Click on " Trust ".

If your project does not compile:

NO ACCENT IN PATH

• No accents in any of the folder names where your project is located
  • Example of what not to do : C:\Users\elodie.bouzekri\OneDrive - ESTIA\Documents\Ma bibliothèque\Génie Informatique\

You should clone your project in a folder like C:/projetInfo/pgi-2022-NameOfYourteam

Minimum version of CMAKE

Sometimes cmake is not up to date, you can lower it version to 3.15 or 3.12

• Open CMakeLists.txt
  • Change cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20) to cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)

Minimum Version of MinGW

• Check that you have downloaded MinGW : C:\MinGW\bin
  • If this folder does not exist: download https://nuwen.net/files/mingw/mingw-19.0.exe
  • Modify your Path environment variables to add C:\MinGW\bin if it is not already present

Libraries installation path

• Check that you have correctly installed the estia-image and getopt libraries.
  • The estia-image/ and getopt/ folders must be in the root of your project. That is: "pgi-2022-\estia-image/" and "pgi-2022-\getopt/" with the name of your team. The structure and names of the folders should be exactly as follows:
• estia-image
  • include
    • estia-image.h
  • lib
    • libestia-image.a
• getopt
  • include
    • getopt.h
  • lib
    • libgetopt.a

I have trouble with Git and The project

Authenticate with git :

If you are having an issue with git not being authorized with GitHub, you can force git to open a browser to set up the authentification

git config --global credential.useHttpPath true
