SCIP CMake Release build fails on Windows

[alexandredias3d]

I am trying to build a Release version of SCIP from source on Windows using CMake, but the build fails with both the Ninja and Visual Studio 17 2022 generators.

• Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26100 N/A Build 26100) x64
• SCIP v9.2.2 (416226a)
• CMake 3.31.5
• MSVC 14.44.35207
• Cl 19.44.35211

Here is what I have tried.

1. CMake using Visual Studio 17 2022 as generator

• Configure command:

PS C:\tool\scip\scip> cmake -S . -B build-vs17 -DAUTOBUILD=ON -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON

• Error:

CMake Error at build-vs17/_deps/soplex-build/src/cmake_install.cmake:213 (file):
    file INSTALL cannot find
    "C:/tool/scip/scip/build-vs17/_deps/soplex-build/bin/Release/soplex.exe":
    File exists.

• It seems that it was built during the configure step using Debug mode:

2. CMake using Ninja as generator for Release build

• Configure command (configuration works):

cmake -S . -B build-ninja-release -DAUTOBUILD=ON -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

• Build command:

PS C:\tool\scip\scip> cmake --build build-ninja-release

• Error:

It works if I configure for Debug with Ninja; however, I was expecting it to work for Release builds as well.
Am I missing a CMake option to force it to link the CRT libraries correctly according to the configuration type?

[DominikKamp]

Never good when cmake suddenly starts downloading. You could try to install SoPlex separately and link it by providing the installation directory in SOPLEX_DIR. Maybe it is simpler to just build the whole SCIPOptSuite.

@discopt Do you see why SCIP cmake downloads SoPlex and builds it with the wrong type?

[discopt]

I had a look, but there is no indication why CMAKE_BUILDT_TYPE would be changed (neither in CMakeLists.txt nor in cmake/Dependencies.cmake). I can only speculate that a previous SoPlex build configuration was lying around there in build/_deps/soplex-build/ or so. We removed the auto-download of SoPlex, in particular for such reasons. @alexandredias3d in case you'd like to debug further, you can add --debug-output to the CMake call.

[DominikKamp]

As explained, the automatic download is removed on master so there you would need to install SoPlex properly anyway either standalone or as part of the SCIPOptSuite.

The log with the double SoPlex download looks like there is a problem in cmake/Dependencies.cmake where some automatic download code is available even on master.

@discopt Do you know what this file is still needed for?
