Build DiaNN using Visual Studio 2019

[cjhjhj]

Hi there,
Is there anyone who could build DiaNN using Visual Studio 2019 in Windows 10? I want to build and go through it step-by-step to figure out the methods/algortihms in DiaNN. However, I couldn't do it. Any suggestion/comment will be appreciated.
Or, any possible way to use something like 'debug' mode which can make me go through the program line-by-line would be great as well.
Thanks.

You can build versions up to 1.7.12. Please look up the corresponding commits on github, which include Visual Studio project files.

Also, probably need to install Thermo MSFileReader (the specific version recommended for DIA-NN)

Thank you so much for your quick reply. Let me try to troubleshoot.

Sorry for keep bothering you, but I still have a problem with building 1.7.12 with the following error,

Error C1083 Cannot open include file: 'sys/time.h': No such file or directory | diann | C:\Software\DiaNN-1.7.12\mstoolkit\src\expat-2.2.0\xmlparse.c

It would be great if you could give me advice about the error.

Apologies, but I don't really remember much about all this. Can say that it should be OK to build straight away, strange that these errors pop up.

Thank you for the comments. Unfortunately, due to the error, the build cannot be done in VS2019. Let me try some other ways, anyway.

Hi Vadim,
Finally, I could build the source and get into debug mode. I want to share my troubleshoot just for information.

• Vdproj unsupported
  • It can be resolved by installing an extension (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26028746/visual-studio-vdproj-is-incompatible)
• Try to build as is (no change any settings)
  • Additional include directory needs to be added (/mstoolkit/include)
• /sys/time.h related error
  • Project properties -> Configuration properties -> C/C++ -> Command line: if not, add an option /D "WIN32"
• /sqlite/sqlite3.c related error
  • Make a directory /sqlite (under the project directory) and copy splite3.c (from /mstoolkt/src/sqlitexxx) to the directory
• _SILENCE_EXPERIMENTAL_FILESYSTEM_DEPRECATION_WARNING related error
  • Project properties -> Configuration properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocesser: add _SILENCE_EXPERIMENTAL_FILESYSTEM_DEPRECATION_WARNING
• _set_FMA3_enable(0) related error
  • Comment the line
• Link error: mismatch related with _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL
  • Changed the diann.cpp file as follows,
    #define _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING 1
    #define _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL 2

Thanks.
