[ome-devel] Building insight on Windows 7

[benjamin.schmid at fau.de]

Hi,

This is my first attempt to compile OMERO, please apologize if I forgot
something obvious..

I just cloned the source code today, switched to the master branch and
tried to compile using
$ ./build.py release-clients

This failed, and I tried
$ ./build.py
instead. I tested it several times, also with the develop branch, but
without success. Compiling the blitz component seems to cause the problem.
The last lines of the output were:

[...]
slice(["omero\sys\Parameters.java"], ["omero\System.ice"])
os.chdir('H:\\fijiplugins\\openmicroscopy\\components\\blitz')
os.chdir('H:\\fijiplugins\\openmicroscopy\\components\\blitz\\resources')
slice(["omero\Tables.java"], ["omero\Tables.ice"])
os.chdir('H:\\fijiplugins\\openmicroscopy\\components\\blitz')
os.chdir('H:\\fijiplugins\\openmicroscopy\\components\\blitz\\resources')
slice(["omero_api_Exporter_ice.py"], ["omero\api\Exporter.ice"])
os.chdir('H:\\fijiplugins\\openmicroscopy\\components\\blitz')
scons: *** [omero_api_Exporter_ice.py] The system cannot find the file

To me that doesn't make much sense. I'm using Ice 3.6, I set the ICE_HOME
environment variable accordingly, and modified the Path variable. That
seems to work. My java version is 1.8.0_101.

Any hint is appreciated. Of course I can also provide more information is
required.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Bene
