Error in Building UHD on Windows

Dear All,

I am trying to install UHD on windows from source code. I have installed
the prerequisites:

cmake-2.8.10.2-win32-x86
boost_1_51_setup32
python-2.6.6
Cheetah-2.2.2.win32-py2.6
msysGit-fullinstall-1.8.1.2-preview20130201
Visual studio 2010 express

I follwowed the steps detailed here:
USRP Hardware Driver and USRP Manual: Building and Installing UHD from source.
After applying the fifth step in CMake I get the following error
message.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Thank you,

Zo

If everything works fine: Ignore them.
The first one seems interesting, but does not necessarily imply an
error.
(sometimes you really just want to check if a double is still
in initialized state, e.g. filled with zeros and therefore use it as a
boolean; some compilers interpret that as cast to int)
However, could you point out the file that warning occurred, just to
help check things for consistency?

Thanks,

However, I have some 27 warnings in MSVC and I don’t know how important
they are:

C4244: ‘=’ : conversion from ‘double’ to ‘uint32_t’, possible loss of
data
C4800: ‘int’ : forcing value to bool ‘true’ or ‘false’ (performance
warning)
C4305: ‘=’ : truncation from ‘double’ to ‘float’

Can they be fixed or I can just ignore them?

Looked at those code lines, since I wasn’t used to the
compiler output of msvc; everything looks fine.

Cheers,

Hi Marcus,

Please find attached the txt file with the warnings.

These are just implicit casts that cause default warnings in MSVC, but
not GCC. We generally fix these by just explicitly casting. There is
nothing to worry about.

I will add the explicit casts in due time. Thats for the report though.
I think that will be helpful!

Subject: Re: Error in Building UHD on Windows

If everything works fine: Ignore them.

The first one seems interesting, but does not necessarily imply an

error.

(sometimes you really just want to check if a double is still

in initialized state, e.g. filled with zeros and therefore use it as a

boolean; some compilers interpret that as cast to int)

However, could you point out the file that warning occurred, just to

help check things for consistency?

Thanks,

Marcus M.

However, I have some 27 warnings in MSVC and I don’t know how important

they are:

C4244: ‘=’ : conversion from ‘double’ to ‘uint32_t’, possible loss of data

C4800: ‘int’ : forcing value to bool ‘true’ or ‘false’ (performance warning)

C4305: ‘=’ : truncation from ‘double’ to ‘float’

Can they be fixed or I can just ignore them?

Best,

Zo
