Installation Issues

bmasterk · June 11, 2021, 9:31am

Hello there,

I am currently trying to install acados on a computer at the university. Unfortunately, when I run the cmake command, I get the following error messages. Do you have any idea what this could be?

I have added the environment variables as specified (cmake and mingw).

Setup
Matlab r2017b with minGW 5.3.0
cmake 3.19.8
All commands run as admin

I am looking forward to your answer and remain with kind regards
Björn

Hi Björn,

I never saw this error.
Just to rule that out, could it be that you don’t have enough rights on that computer?
I remember there were some issues with machines from your university.

Best,
Jonathan

Hello all,

finally I have fixed the problem. Following are the steps that helped me:

get mingw as a standalone exe from sourceforge (mingw-w64-install.exe). Make sure you have the 64 bit version.
install mingw (I took the same gcc version that was installed by matlab). You can get the version in matlab with the following command.

cc = mex.getCompilerConfigurations

don’t forget to define the compiler bin path in the PATH variable. I put it at the beginning of the list.
restart your system
start the cmake compilation again. It may be necessary to delete every other compiler path in the PATH variable. If you delete the other compiler paths, remember to add them again before using acadoso.

With kind regards
Björn
