Error when building cpp-test on cocos2d-x 4.0

syaifulnizamyahya · December 14, 2019, 9:09am

Hi,

I start by following the guide here. https://docs.cocos2d-x.org/cocos2d-x/v4/en/installation/Windows.html

Regarding prerequisites:

Windows 7+ - have windows 10
VS 2017+ - have visual studio 2019
CMake 3.1+ - installed latest
Python 2.7.5+, Python 2,7.10 reccomended , NOT Python 3+ - installed Python 2.7.10

Download Cocos2dx v4 from github repo.

I run this command

python setup.py

Then i run this command

cd COCOS2DX/tests/cpp-tests
mkdir win32-build
cd win32-build
cmake ..

Then I rebuild the generated solution and get this error.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Your last cmake command is wrong. It should be:

cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 16 2019" -AWin32

If you use it as you have tried, cmake will make a 64bit solution and cocos is not compatible with it out of the box so you have to specify the 32bit command.

Did you follow the instructions on that page completely? The reason I ask is because I don’t see the following 2 lines in your screenshots:

git submodule update --init
./download-deps.py

found the root cause. x64 is not supported. had to use x32.

I tried with cocos run -p win32, and get the same error.
Please advise.

perhaps this is part of it?

_dragon · December 14, 2019, 3:23pm

I think there is a bug in cocos run command somewhere as it still makes a 64bit solution.

Let us try doing it from scratch with Visual Studio.

Delete the win32-build folder you made
Run download-deps.py
Run setup.py
Make win32-build folder inside COCOS2DX/tests/cpp-tests
Open cmd, go to win32-build folder and
cmake … -G"Visual Studio 16 2019" -AWin32
Open cpp-tests.sln
Build and run the project

Just tried this and it works for me. The cocos run does not work as it still makes a 64bit solution.

Why my post is not in order? Problem is solved already. My last post is

found the root cause. x64 is not supported. had to use x32.

I downloaded zip package.
