This document addresses OpenMS users and explains the installation procedure for building OpenMS from its sources. If you only want to use the OpenMS Proteomics Pipeline (TOPP), you are strongly encouraged to download the windows binary installer (see here), instead of building OpenMS from sources. For more information read the install instructions for the TOPP binaries.

Version 3 does install but, when using the software for my HS60 headset, the microphone level is not shown as it is in reviews I have seen. Presumably version 4 should provide this function but I cannot get this to install.

This document especially considers the installation of several libraries which are required by OpenMS. Most of these libraries are made available in our 'contrib-package' (see below).
If you encounter errors during configuring/compiling our software, have a look at our 'Known Issues' section here, maybe the error is already known. If not, please write to the mailing list.

Notation of this tutorial

• A string in <> is something the user needs to choose e.g. <path_to_contrib> means that this string should be replaced by the path where the user put the OpenMS contrib package. Usually all commands where this is necessary come with examples, so don't worry.
• Whenever you added a path to your Windows PATH Environment variable, every Command Prompt which is already open will not be refreshed. You will need a to open a new one.

Pre-Requisites (Software)

• Visual Studio: Microsoft Visual Studio (Community) 2019 or above
  Not supported are MinGW (g++ based compiler). Do not use a MinGW-enabled shell since CMake will get confused! Please use the Command Prompt of the Visual Studio version you want to build with. Other compilers which are close to the VS toolchain might work, but are not tested.
• CMake: Have at least CMake 3.14+ or greater installed (see http://www.cmake.org).
  CMake's Generator (-G flag) also must support your version of Visual Studio. If it doesn't, please upgrade CMake.
  
• 7-Zip: To extract archives within submodules of the contrib you will need 7-Zip (see http://www.7-zip.org/)
  7z.exe is searched in 'C:/Program Files/7-Zip/' and 'C:/Programme/7-Zip/'. Make sure it is in either of these locations or add the installation directory to your PATH.

OpenMS depends on several other libraries. On a Windows system, these are usually not present.

Contrib installation

Install Qt Platform Plugin Windows 10

In order to make the installation of the remaining required libraries easier, we composed a 'contrib-package' containing the libraries Boost, Eigen, sqlite3, CoinMP, WildMagic, libSVM, libHDF5, glpk, zlib, libbz2 and Xerces-C. This contrib package has several advantages over manual installation

• You get all the libraries in versions tested with OpenMS.
• It contains a batch script that builds all the libraries in one step.
• You don't have to spend hours reading installation instructions of all the libraries.
• We applied some patches to the libraries to fix some bugs.
  These bugs may be fatal if you do not use the contrib package.

Download:

If you plan to use the development version of OpenMS, clone OpenMS and checkout the optional contrib submodule with

to obtain the latest potentially unstable version. If you want to use a release version of OpenMS, use the corresponding Release-tagged version on GitHub (https://github.com/OpenMS/contrib/releases) or download the contrib source from a .tar.gz for older releases.

Installation:

After you got the source code for the contrib package follow these steps:

1. Open a VisualStudio Developer Command prompt (by default you will get a 32-bit environment which you most likely do not want; use a x64 environment if you want 64 bit apps!)
   

   Note

   VS2015 does not provide a commandline shortcut for a 64bit command prompt. Call 'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0VCvcvarsall.bat' amd64 to get one!

   VS2017 has a (well hidden) batch-file which correctly configures your environment for 64bit builds. It should be located at 'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio2017CommunityVCAuxiliaryBuildvcvars64.bat'. (Same goes for VS2019)

2. Create a build directory for the OpenMS contrib
   e.g. mkdir contrib_win64_build

3. Call CMake to build the contrib
   Be aware that you can build 64bit apps even if your operating system is only 32bit (cross-compiling), but you will not be able to run 64bit apps in this case.

   cmake -DBUILD_TYPE=ALL -DNUMBER_OF_JOBS=4 -G '<generator>' -A x64 '<path_to_contrib>'

   The <generator> you use must be one of the Visual Studio Generators. This is because some contrib libs require Visual Studio to build. Use the -A x64 flag to build 64-bit libraries for the contrib (32-bit does not really make any sense for LC-MS data processing)! Type cmake -help to see a list of available generators.
   

   Example:

   cmake -DBUILD_TYPE=ALL -DNUMBER_OF_JOBS=4 -G 'Visual Studio 16 2019' -A x64 'c:devOpenMScontrib'

   const double c
4. Add the <path_to_contrib_build>/lib directory to your PATH Environment Variable (this is so Windows can find the DLL's when running our executables).

QT installation

Qt comes in two flavors: commercial or non-commercial - choose whatever is applicable to you: read more on the Qt website For several recent QT5 versions, there are binary development versions available for the most recent compilers. Go to https://www.qt.io/download and click on 'Go open source' at the end of the right column to download the installer. Follow steps, download, save and run the installer. Create a Qt account. Choose a folder like 'c:devQT'. From the components choose a matching version, e.g. QT 5.10.0 and the MSVC component that fits your Visual Studio version and architecture (most likely only 64bit is supported anymore). You can deselect QTCreator under Tools. Accept the license, choose startmenu entries if wanted and install. Resulting files appear under 'c:devQT$VERSION'.

To build Qt from sources, download Qt5 from their git repository ad follow the steps below:

Follow this procedure if you want to compile Qt yourself:

1. non-commercial:
   1. install perl (e.g. Strawberry Perl), Python and git
   2. download Qt5 source via git or as a source package from the website:
      git clone git://github.com/qt/qt5 --branch 5.9 qt-5.9
   3. activate the needed modules via:
      perl init-repository --module-subset='essential,qtsvg' --branch
   4. open a Visual Studio Command Line (use x64 version if you want 64bit apps!)
   5. if you have multiple versions of VS installed you might need to provide the -platform param for the next configure command (e.g., -platform win32-msvc2012)
   6. To save disk space, we use the -prefix switch to install only the required parts of Qt to a new directory of your choice (called <path-to-qt>, e.g. c:/dev/Qt/5.9/). Check more options and supported compilers here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/configure-options.html (especially for developers). Note that part of Qt requires Python to compile, so its a good idea to add the Python executable to your path
      configure -opensource -skip speech -skip location -nomake tests -nomake examples -confirm-license -opengl dynamic -prefix <path-to-qt> -platform win32-msvc
   7. all Qt files (libs, includes etc) are now in <path-to-qt> and sub-directories.
   8. alternatively to nmake, you can download JOM (http://qt-project.org/wiki/jom) and type 'jom' and subsequently 'jom install' in your Qt build directory to use multiple cores (builds a lot faster usually)
2. commercial:
   1. we have no experience here, but it should be possible to get the DLL's and Link-Libraries here as well.
3. add the <path-to-qt>/bin (!) directory to your PATH Environment Variable, so the dlls are found during runtime.
4. set the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH to <path-to-qt>/plugins/platforms, otherwise you might get an error 'This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin 'windows'. Alternatively, you can copy the entire platforms-folder into the folder where your OpenMS executables will be created (but they will depend on the build-type, i.e. release|debug|...).

This section is optional. If you can live with the online documentation, you do not need to build your own.

In order to build the class documentation (doc & doc_internal targets), TOPP tutorials (doc_tutorials target) and more, you will need to install three programs:

1. Doxygen (1.8.16 is tested, others might work as well; older versions might produce errors or incomplete documentation due to lack of support for certain commands or bugs)
   • Download the installer for Windows (http://www.doxygen.org)
   • Execute the installer. It should automatically add doxygen.exe to the Windows PATH Environment (please recheck)
2. MikTeX (version 2.7 and 2.9 are tested, others might work as well, texlive is an option, too) - basic version (for DVIPS, LATEX etc).
   • Download binaries for Windows (http://miktex.org/)
   • During installation tick 'install missing packages on the fly = yes'
   • The installer SHOULD add the bin directory of MikTeX automatically to the Windows PATH Environment (please recheck)
3. GPL Ghostscript (e.g. 8.60, 9.19) for Windows
   • Download binaries for Windows (http://www.ghostscript.com/) and install
   • Add the <path_to_GHOSTSCRIPT>/bin directory (e.g. c:/programs/gs/gs8.60/bin) to the Windows PATH Environment
4. Optional:
   You can create dependency graphs using a doxygen plug-in called dot.
   • Download binaries for windows from http://www.graphviz.org (we tested: graphviz-2.18.exe)
   • The installer should have added dot.exe to the Windows PATH Environment (please recheck)

You should install the above apps prior to installing OpenMS (see below), because otherwise during the configuration step the documentation targets will be disabled. If you already have a working installation of OpenMS (without documentation), you can simply install the above programs and reconfigure OpenMS by calling cmake . in your build tree. No need to recompile the library!

For development and cutting edge functionalities we recommend using the Git version from GitHub

Certain stable releases can found on the GitHub release page https://github.com/OpenMS/OpenMS/releases.

If you have not installed the libraries which OpenMS requires, please refer to the section Contrib installation above (and skip the clone step).

Now, we create the build system:

1. Open a Visual Studio Command Line (use x64 version if you want 64bit apps – and yes, you want that!)
2. Create a build directory for OpenMS, e.g. mkdir OpenMS_Win64

   Note

   Due to Windows restrictions concerning the maximum length of a file path (of 260 characters) and the rather deep folder hierarchies created by CMake and Visual Studio, we advise to restrict the length of the base path to your build directory. We suggest less than 40 characters if possible.

3. Call CMake to create the build system

   cmake -D OPENMS_CONTRIB_LIBS='<path_to_contrib_build>' -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<path_to_QT5_prefix> -G '<generator>' -A x64 -T host=x64 '<path_to_OpenMS>'

   The CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH should hold the path to your Qt5 build directory (see example below). Note that it is NOT the main Qt5 directory, but the subfolder which is named after the toolchain it was build with (e.g. '5.6/msvc2015_64').

   Note

   If you build Qt5 from source, the build directories will be located at <path_to_qt>mkspecs. Here you will need to choose the matching directory for your architecture and Visual Studio version.

   Example CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH: C:devqt-5.9mkspecswinrt-x64-msvc2017

   The choice of <generator> depends on your system. Type cmake –help to see a list of available generators.

   Note

   We strongly recommend the Visual Studio Generator and it should be identical to the one used for building the contrib. Other generators (such as nmake) are not supported! If you need compiling on the command line, you can use MSBuild also on VS solution files! Use the -A x64 flag to build a 64-bit OpenMS library and TOPP executables (32-bit does not really make any sense for LC-MS data processing)! The -T host=x64 flag instructs Visual Studio to use a 64bit compiler and linker toolchain to avoid linker errors (LNK1210: exceeded internal ILK size limit; link with /INCREMNTAL:NO) during development (if the flag is omitted the 32bit toolchain is used to generate 64bit binaries). Example:

   cmake -D OPENMS_CONTRIB_LIBS='C:devcontrib_win64_build' -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:devQt5.6.25.6msvc2015_64 -G 'Visual Studio 16 2019' -A x64 -T host=x64 ..OpenMS

Now there should be a OpenMS_host.sln file in your build directory, which you can open using Visual Studio. If you want to work on only a subset of OpenMS (e.g., OpenMS_GUI) you can open the specific solution that you will find in the src/ folder of your build folder and below (e.g., src/openms_gui/OpenMS_GUI.sln).

In Visual Studio execute the 'targets' project, which will show you the most prominent targets.

Try to build the OpenMS library - the target is called 'OpenMS'. This will create the OpenMS.dll library. If you used the debug configuration it will be called OpenMSd.dll, in release mode its called OpenMS.dll.
As a last step you should add the location of the OpenMS.dll to your PATH environment. This makes calling TOPPView and TOPP tools more convenient if you are working the command line. Also, external projects (see External Code using OpenMS) require the OpenMS dll (OpenMS.dll or OpenMSd.dll) to be in the PATH. Depending on the generator and configuration used you will find the dll in [OpenMS_build]/bin/Release or [OpenMS_build]/bin/Debug (for VS) or just [OpenMS_build]/bin (nmake). In the same folder the TOPP tools will reside once build (see next section). Be aware that the order of directories in the PATH variable determines which dll or executable is used, if no absolute path was given when the executable was called. So the PATH might need to be updated (add/delete/reorder entries) if you are working with multiple installations or configurations of OpenMS.

TOPP is a toolset for the analysis of HPLC-MS data. It consists of several small applications that can be chained to create analysis pipelines tailored for a specific problem.
After you have built OpenMS, you can build the TOPP tools by building the 'TOPP' project in the IDE.

Each class in OpenMS and each TOPP tool has a unit test. The tests will be build with the complete solution. To specifically build and execute the tests, go to your OpenMS build_tree and further into ./src/tests/class_tests. There you'll find an OpenMS_class_tests.sln file, which you can open. For other generators an equivalent file with another suffix will be present. Now, build the 'ALL_BUILD' target and the 'RUN_TESTS' target. You can also run the tests in a command prompt in <OpenMS_build_tree> using ctest. Single tests can be run with ctest -R <testnameregex>, e.g. ctest -R Base64_test. For more syntax on CTest look at the online documentation at http://cmake.org/.

The Visual Studio solution files can contain many targets, which makes the IDE a bit sluggish especially when starting up the first time. The OpenMS class tests are by far the largest.

If you just want to compile the library or executables, it's usually faster to use the commandline. Visual Studio solution files can be used here as well, as arguments to MSBuild.exe, e.g.

Example:

Note

Since the call can be a bit lengthy, there is a batch file in OpenMS/tools/build.bat and in the root of your build tree (copied there by cmake for convenience), which allows to build the most important targets (TOPP, UTILS, Gui, Tests, Doc) in Release or Debug using very short notation. Call it without arguments to see its usage help text. For example to build only the OpenMS library in release mode, call

1. Download NSIS (we tested nsis-3.06.1 successfully) and extract it somewhere

2. Install the large-string-build NSIS installer on top (just extract into the same directory as NSIS; and use a matching version!). This is required for PATH manipulation of up to 8k length; the default NSIS handles up to 1k strings, which might be too short and potentially leads to a broken PATH environment variable.

3. Install the UltraModernUI-plugin on top (just extract into the same directory as NSIS). We tested version 2.0b6 successfully.

4. Add the NSIS folder (which contains 'makensis.exe') to your PATH, so CMake can find it.

5. Checkout the THIRDPARTY GitHub Repository and flatten the structure for the target platform, e.g. copy all subdirectories in ./all/ to ./Windows/64bit/.

6. Configure OpenMS as usual with additional flags SEARCH_ENGINES_DIRECTORY (for the flattened THIRDPARTY directory) and PACKAGE_TYPE='nsis', e.g.

   cmake ... -DSEARCH_ENGINES_DIRECTORY=C:devTHIRDPARTYWindows64bit -DPACKAGE_TYPE='nsis' <path-to-source-tree>

7. Build all targets (incl. 'doc' and 'doc_tutorials') in Release mode (copy the Qt5 plugin to the [OpenMS_build]binRelease and [OpenMS_build]/doc/doxygen/parameters/Release/ directories first)

   build.bat - r
8. Create the installer package
   cmake --build . --target dist
