Trying to build the C# wrappers for RDKit with build.bat from bp-kelley/rdkit-csharp

I'm trying to build the C# wrappers for RDKit, but have been struggling to make progress. I've attempted two routes:

n.b. This question is long and unhelpful. Long story short use NuGet (see answer below).

Attempt One

Docs from RDKit /Code/JavaWrappers/csharp_wrapper

The first one is found in https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit.

There are C# wrappers with build instructions in ./Code/JavaWrappers/csharp_wrapper found at: https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit/tree/master/Code/JavaWrappers/csharp_wrapper

My first attempt to compile the wrappers involved manually trying to build these. Following this README: https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit/blob/master/Code/JavaWrappers/csharp_wrapper/README

To build on Windows:

Since cmake doesn't know anything about C#, there's an unfortunate manual step involved in this.

  • Make sure that the cmake configuration variable RDK_BUILD_SWIG_CSHARP_WRAPPER is set to ON.
  • Run cmake to generate the solution file and open it in Visual Studio.
  • Select the option to add an existing project and add $RDBASE/Code/JavaWrappers/csharp_wrapper/RDKit2DotNet.csproj
  • Right click on the added project (named RDKit2DotNet) and add a dependency to RDKFuncs (this is the project that creates the C++ dll that the C# project needs)
  • Build the RDKit2DotNet project.

Your bin directory ($RDBASE/Code/JavaWrappers/csharp_wrapper/bin/Release if you did a release build) now contains two DLLs: - RDKFuncs.dll is the C++ dll containing the RDKit functionality - RDKit2DotNet.dll contains the C# wrapper. To use the wrappers in your own projects, you should copy both dlls into your project directory and add a reference to RDKit2DotNet.dll

The directory RDKitCSharpTest contains a sample test project and some code that makes very basic use of the wrapper functionality.

To get cmake to run I updated the CMakeLists.txt to tell it how to find swig and to set RDK_BUILD_SWIG_CSHARP_WRAPPER ON as follows:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project (GraphMolCSharp)

set(SWIG_FOUND TRUE) # This has been added
set(SWIG_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}) # This has been added
set(SWIG_EXECUTABLE swig.exe) # This has been added
set(SWIG_VERSION 4.0) # This has been added

find_package (SWIG) # This has been added
include (UseSWIG) # This has been added

include_directories( ${RDKit_ExternalDir} )

SET(RDK_BUILD_SWIG_CSHARP_WRAPPER ON) # This has been added

# find the gmcs executables on non-windows systems:
if(NOT WIN32)
  find_program(GMCS_EXE gmcs)
  if (NOT GMCS_EXE)
    MESSAGE ("gmcs (executable) is not found. Please add it to PATH and rerun cmake.")
    MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR "Cannot find required executable gmcs")
  endif (NOT GMCS_EXE)
endif(NOT WIN32)


SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(GraphMolCSharp.i PROPERTIES CPLUSPLUS ON )

# Setup a few variables for environment-specific things
if(WIN32)
  ADD_DEFINITIONS("/W3 /wd4716 /bigobj")
  SET(PATH_SEP ";")
  SET(COPY_CMD xcopy ${COPY_SOURCE} ${COPY_DEST} /Y /I)
else()
  SET(PATH_SEP ":")
  SET(COPY_CMD cp -p ${COPY_SOURCE} ${COPY_DEST})
endif()

# Coax SWIG into playing nicely with Apple environments
if(APPLE)
  SET(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P 4)
endif(APPLE)

if(CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P MATCHES 4)
  SET(CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS -namespace "GraphMolWrap")
else()
  if (WIN32)
    SET(CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS -namespace "GraphMolWrap" "-DSWIGWORDSIZE64" "-DSWIGWIN")
  else()
      SET(CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS -namespace "GraphMolWrap" "-DSWIGWORDSIZE64")
  endif()
endif()
SET(CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/swig_csharp )

if(RDK_BUILD_INCHI_SUPPORT)
  SET(CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS "-DRDK_BUILD_INCHI_SUPPORT" ${CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS} )
endif()
if(RDK_BUILD_AVALON_SUPPORT)
  SET(CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS "-DRDK_BUILD_AVALON_SUPPORT" ${CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS} )
endif()

FILE(GLOB SWIG_SRC_FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../*.i")

# we added all source files, now remove the ones that we're not supporting in this build:
if(NOT RDK_BUILD_AVALON_SUPPORT)
LIST(REMOVE_ITEM SWIG_SRC_FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../AvalonLib.i")
endif()

if(NOT RDK_BUILD_INCHI_SUPPORT)
LIST(REMOVE_ITEM SWIG_SRC_FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../Inchi.i")
endif()

SET(SWIG_MODULE_RDKFuncs_EXTRA_DEPS ${SWIG_SRC_FILES} )

SWIG_ADD_LIBRARY(RDKFuncs TYPE MODULE LANGUAGE CSharp SOURCES GraphMolCSharp.i )


# it doesnt seem like the threading libs should need to be here, but
# as of Oct 2012 using boost 1.51 under at least ubuntu 12.04 we get a
# link error if they aren't there.
SWIG_LINK_LIBRARIES(RDKFuncs ${RDKit_Wrapper_Libs}
      ${RDKit_THREAD_LIBS} )

INSTALL(TARGETS RDKFuncs
        DESTINATION ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} )


if(NOT WIN32)
   # code adapted from the wrapper code for
   # GDCM: http://gdcm.svn.sf.net/viewvc/gdcm/trunk/Wrapping/Java/CMakeLists.txt?view=markup
   ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
     OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/RDKit2DotNet.dll

     COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E make_directory swig_csharp

     ## 1. run this custom command only after swig has been run.
     COMMAND ${GMCS_EXE} -out:RDKit2DotNet.dll -t:library "swig_csharp/*.cs"
       WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
     DEPENDS "${swig_generated_file_fullname}"
   )
   ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(RDKFuncsDLL ALL
     DEPENDS RDKFuncs ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/RDKit2DotNet.dll
     COMMENT "building mono dll"
   )
endif(NOT WIN32)

This creates a lot of new files and one .sln file called GraphMolCSharp.sln. I was then able to follow the rest of the steps in the README. I opened GraphMolCSharp.sln and added RDKit2DotNet.csproj as a project and added RDKfuncs as a build dependency. But building this gave a lot of errors in Visual Studio, starting with:

Could not copy the file "D:\Desktop\rdkit-master\Code\JavaWrappers\csharp_wrapper\RDKFuncs.dll" because it was not found.   RDKit2DotNet

Then a lot of Unable to find x errors.

If anyone can offer some guidance about anything I might have done wrong please let me know.

Attempt Two

The second uses the build.bat found here: https://github.com/bp-kelley/rdkit-csharp

To start I run:

git clone https://github.com/bp-kelley/rdkit-csharp.git
git clone https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit.git
cd rdkit-csharp

Then I have updated the build.bat to use Visual Studio 16 2019 as follows.

Line 95: cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 ...

and

Line 111: cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" ...

If someone is able to offer assistance debugging the output below I'd be most grateful.

I have had to cancel the following line:

Downloading: https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe to \Desktop\Build\rdkit-csharp\nuget.exe
^CTerminate batch job (Y/N)? n

But have copied nuget.exe into the expected location.

This is most of the output of running build.bat

Never did manage manually compile the RDKit DotNet Wrapper.

However I did find a NuGet package for an old version that did what I need it to:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/RDKit2DotNet/2017.9.1-alpha1

Install-Package RDKit2DotNet -Version 2017.9.1-alpha1

Update

There is now a newer version which works perfectly:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/RDKit.DotNetWrap/

Install-Package RDKit.DotNetWrap -Version 0.2019033.1
