Compling OpenFAST with Simulink in VS error #11023 and LNK2019

[klitz06]

Hi ,
I am trying to build OpenFAST with simulink by choosing Release_Matlab mode with x64. I think errors that I am having is due to simulink linking as you can see from the errors. I am not sure about the warnings if they are problem for compiling or not.

I have changed the MATLAB libmex.lib location in simulink properties as written #638 (comment) in another post. It doesnt solve the problem unfortunately. Below you can see what i have installed in VS and Intel Fortran

Visual studio is not finding the Matlab library that contains MEXPRINTF. You may need to tell visual studio where that is located.

If you are talking about MATLAB path inside the properties I have changed it to my MATLAB path as I mentioned. If not how do I change it?

[andrew-platt]

Looking at your first output screenshot, it didn't find the MEXPRINTF during the compilation of openfast_x64.exe. I'm not sure VS should be building that one during the Release_Matlab build. @bjonkman , do we normally build openfsat_x64.exe with this? I would have thought all the preprocessor defs would render that executable useless.

It does look like it found the appropriate library for the OpenFAST-Simulink_x64.lib build. So I expect that one should work with simulink.

@klitz06, which branch are you building?

[klitz06]

I used " git clone https://github.com/openfast/openfast.git " to clone the repository. I dont know which one is it. How do I check it?

Edit:
git branch --show-current in git for windows tells me it is "main".

[andrew-platt]

git branch will show the available branches. It will show main and dev as the two options, and the one you built will be highlighted (or have a star next to it). I think main is the default one.

[klitz06]

Yes it is main one.

[andrew-platt]

What happens if you try the create_FAST_SFunc.m script (after setting any paths necessary as mentioned in the script)? It should only be needing that OpenFAST-Simulink_x64.lib for linking to Simulink, and not the openfast_x64.exe.

The other warnings can be safely ignored (we mostly follow the Fortran 2008 standard, but only set VS to enforce the Fortran 2003 standard, so it flags stuff that isn't actually an issue).

[klitz06]

I think it is succesfully created. I will try the examples and get back.

[klitz06]

OK I tried to run Ren_Test01_SIG.m and this is the result:

I changed VSContrl = 4 and to see if it helps added LSSGagVxa to the ElastoDyn outputs. It didnt help.

[andrew-platt]

you may have to add the location of the SFunc to the matlab path. addpath(genpath(('../../../install')) from the examples directory.

[klitz06]

I am sorry I couldn't understand what you want me to do. Do I just run it through command window?

[andrew-platt]

yes. I was thinking in the command window. but the error might be indicating a problem with the test itself.

Did you initialize the r-test submodule after cloning from github? git submodule update --init --recursive as outlined here: https://openfast.readthedocs.io/en/dev/source/testing/index.html

[klitz06]

Yes I actually ran git clone --recursive https://github.com/openfast/openfast.git at the beginning of the process could it be the problem? Should I use the command you give?

[andrew-platt]

does <openfast git rootdir>/reg_tests/r-test/glue-codes/openfast/AWT_YFix_WSt/ exist?
