Hi, I just would like to let you guys know that i have solved my problem.
Previously, the linker was hanging when i tried to build an example and didn't even give any error message. After a installed a more recent version of visual studio community 2015, it started giving an error message saying that it couldn't find deal_II.g.lib, even though the path was correct. After some digging, i found out that VS was using the 32-bit toolset targeting 64-bit. So, to make VS use the 64 toolset, one can set the environment variable PreferredToolArchitecture to x64: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19820718/how-to-make-visual-studio-use-the-native-amd64-toolchain Or use a small hack-around in CMake: https://github.com/preillyme/hiphop-php/blob/master/CMake/VisualStudioToolset.cmake Regards, Túlio Em quinta-feira, 28 de julho de 2016 14:03:07 UTC-3, Wolfgang Bangerth escreveu: > > On 07/27/2016 08:05 PM, Tulio Ligneul wrote: > > In my system, deal_II.lib is about 400MB and deal_II.g.lib is almost > 2GB. > > How much memory/RAM do you have in your system?
