Compiling

Now that everything is ready, it is time to get into the compiling step proper.

Use cd .. to go back to the FMT-Installation folder.
Clone the repository of FMT by using git clone https://github.com/Bureau-du-Forestier-en-chef/FMT.git
Use cd ./FMT to navigate into the FMT folder downloaded from the repository of FMT.
Copy/paste the following commands in the Windows notepad, and then replace the MOSEK_DIR,CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE and PathTovcvars64 with the location of Mosek, vcpkg.cmake in vcpkg and vcvars64 on your computer:

call "PathTovcvars64\vcvars64.bat"
set MOSEK_DIR=MyPathToMosek
set MODULE_PATH=%cd%/Modules
set "MODULE_PATH=%MODULE_PATH:\=/%"
set VCPKG_KEEP_ENV_VARS=MOSEK_DIR;MODULE_PATH

cmake CMakeLists.txt -B build/release -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -DBUILD_TYPE=Release -T v143,version=14.36.17.6 -DPARALLEL_TESTS=8 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="MyPathTovcpkg.cmake" -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows -DVCPKG_MANIFEST_MODE=ON

cmake --build build/release --config Release
cmake --install build/release --config Release

By default, Mosek was installed in your C:/Program Files folder on windows. This can be expressed by the path C:/PROGRA~1 to avoid the space between Program and Files, which can create errors.

Thus, if you installed Mosek in C:\Program Files\Mosek, you can keep C:/PROGRA~1/Mosek/ in the commands.

If you installed a version of Visual Studio anterior to 2022, you’ll have to edit the part of the commands incating the version of Visual Studio.

Copy/paste all of the commands that are ready in the notepad into the command prompt to start the compilation. Press enter to activate them.

This will take time, and you might see warning in the command prompt during the process. Don’t worry about them.

If the compilation ends up with error messages that are red, you can come and post an issue on the issue page of the repository for FMT.

If everything worked, congratulations ! Now, it leaves us with importing FMT in Python, and seeing that everything works.
