Error C1083 Cannot open include file: 'pybind11/pybind11.h': No such file or directory

Question

I'd like to run T-spline from Github, but this error occurs every time

Error   C1083
Cannot open include file: 'pybind11/pybind11.h': No such file or directory

I'm trying to build the project.

I put code and everything else in C:\Program Files (x86).
I use pybind/pybind11.
I use laumaya/GLC_lib.
I use Github extension in MSVC and I download everything directly through the extension.
I run CMake (3.13.1) for T-spline and everything looks fine.
I use MSVC 15 2017.

Thank you!

That's not enough information to help you. Where is that file located on your machine? — πάντα ῥεῖ

I tried some different locations , but this last one is C:\Program Files (x86). So the source file and everything else is located there. I thought i had to bring it all together in the same File. — JOF

I thought that i followed the instructrions . Take a look:- Run CMake; - Specify the source code and binary directories (fill the corresponding entries with value "../SOURCE_DIRECTORY" or drag the "CMakeLists.txt" file); - Press Configure button, set up the Generator settings(choose the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) version); ...... - Press Generate button(it will generate all the binary files in the SOURCE_DIRECTORY); - Open tspline.sln file in MSVC and build the solution; — JOF

As soon as i get to the last one" Open tspline.sln..." everything seems to be fine !? But when i 'm trying to buid it on MSVC , then i always take the same error!!! — JOF

If you are using pybind11, then you shouldn't do it this way.

First make pybind11 a submodule in your git repo, or just check it out in your source tree and call:

add_subdirectory(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/3rdParty/pybind11)

Then you can create a pybind module:

 pybind11_add_module(${NAME} MODULE ${SRC} ${HEADERS})

This way, if something is missing, you will see it when CMake starts, and not during building.

Do you mean something like this?add_subdirectory(${TSPLINE}/3rdParty/pybind11) pybind11_add_module(${TSLPINE} MODULE ${TSPLINE} ${TSPLINE})

Almost. the first argument to add_module is the name you want and then you have the list of the files you want to compile. I don't think ${TSPLINE} is an a name, a folder and a list of files. But you are almost there. See also the documentation for another example of usage (the link in my answer).
