Problems with building BiblioSpec 2.0 on w10-64bit system MarcoM  2018-07-29 23:24
 

Hi,

I'm trying to build BiblioSpec 2.0 on a windos 10 64bit system. I'm following the instructions but I'm encountering problems with some missing file (but I'm not sure of this, I'm not an expert of compiling C source files). I attached the build.log file of my last attempt. Can you help me fixing the problems or just send an executable?

Thank you
Marco

Hi Marco,

It looks like the problem is that you're using a newer version of Visual Studio than is currently supported.

As it happens we are in the midst of changing over to VS2017, so this problem will go away soon. For the moment, you might want to try pulling the code from this branch instead: https://github.com/ProteoWizard/pwiz/tree/feature/VS2017-update

Please let me know if that works for you.

Best Regards,

Brian Pratt

I should have mentioned that if you are just interested in having absolutely current BiblioSpec executables, you needn't build them yourself. You can always download precompiled binaries using our most current code from the BiblioSpec Download and Build page of the Skyline website, at

https://skyline.ms/wiki/home/software/BiblioSpec/page.view?name=Download and build

This link is automatically updated every time a Skyline developer commits code to GitHub, as part of our automated test system.
