need to configure input files for Windows

[KrisThielemans]

the Superbuild needs to create a powershell and bit file (when on Windows) like the current shell configuration files, based on following

$Env:Path += ";C:\Users\krisf\Documents\devel\build-VC\SIRF-SuperBuild-CMAKE3.11\INSTALL\bin"
 $Env:Path += ";C:\Users\krisf\Documents\devel\build-VC\SIRF-SuperBuild-CMAKE3.11\INSTALL\FFTW"
 $Env:Path += ";c:/Users/krisf/Documents/devel/boost_1_63_0/lib64-msvc-14.0/"
 $Env:PYTHONPATH = "C:\Users\krisf\Documents\devel\build-VC\SIRF-SuperBuild-CMAKE3.11\INSTALL\python"
 $Env:MATLABPATH = "C:\Users\krisf\Documents\devel\build-VC\SIRF-SuperBuild-CMAKE3.11\INSTALL\matlab"
 # need to be forward slashes 
 $Env:SIRF_PATH = "C:/Users/krisf/Documents/devel/build-VC/SIRF-SuperBuild-CMAKE3.11/sources/SIRF"

I have cloned and built SIRF-SuperBuild (using CMake 3.10.0) on Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2013.

Had a problem with missing files debug.lib and optimized.lib. Figured out they are not actually needed - on the internet people suggest deleting them from the project, but it did not work for me as Build starts by running CMake, which creates them again – so tricked the Build by copying another .lib file and renaming the copy into debug.lib and another copy into optimized.lib.

This worked, and I set $Env:PYTHONPATH to new path in powershell, and was able to run PET tests.

Some progress then.

By the way, CMake left Python and Matlab destinations empty after Configure, so I set them manually – was it actually needed?

[KrisThielemans]

great. I belief that the debug.log and optimized.lib are a VS 2013 issue. I certainly don't have it with 2015.

could you try the matlab side as well? Should work...

I'm also very interested in seeing if you can run the MR code (by usin gth eVM an dport forwarding of course). that's the bit that failed for me.

[evgueni-ovtchinnikov]

python can run mr demos ok

matlab works for both pet and mr demos when started from windows; from git shell (with -nodesktop) it works too if i do not set $Env:MATLABPATH as you suggested, otherwise i get "Undefined function or variable 'matlabrc'", and mutilities library fails to load

[KrisThielemans]

Excellent news!

From here it looks like we should add $matlabroot\toolbox\local (obviously with $matlabroot filled in). Can you try that?

This should be doable from CMake as we'll know what MATLABROOT is I believe.

[evgueni-ovtchinnikov]

it works now!

[evgueni-ovtchinnikov]

i mean it works now that i added $matlabroot\toolbox\local to $Env:MATLABPATH

Largely a duplicate of #460. @evgueni-ovtchinnikov is there anything here that needs to be handled?

[evgueni-ovtchinnikov]

@KrisThielemans nothing springs to mind at the moment
