cannot be opened because its project type (.vfproj) is not supported by
this version of Visual Studio.



To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project.



Invalid project





Use:



vcexpress [solutionfile | projectfile | anyfile.ext] [switches]





The first argument for devenv is usually a solution file or project file.



You can also use any other file as the first argument if you want to have
the



file open automatically in an editor. When you enter a project file, the
IDE



looks for an .sln file with the same base name as the project file in the



parent directory for the project file. If no such .sln file exists, then
the



IDE looks for a single .sln file that references the project. If no such
single



.sln file exists, then the IDE creates an unsaved solution with a default
.sln



file name that has the same base name as the project file.





Command line builds:



devenv solutionfile.sln /build [ solutionconfig ] [ /project
projectnameorfile [ /projectconfig name ] ]



Available command line switches:





/Log Logs IDE activity to the specified file for troubleshooting.



/ResetSettings Restores the IDE's default settings, optionally resets to



the specified VSSettings file.



/SafeMode Launches the IDE in safe mode loading minimal windows.





Product-specific switches:





/debugexe Open the specified executable to be debugged. The



remainder of the command line is passed to this



executable as its arguments.



/useenv Use PATH, INCLUDE, LIBPATH, and LIB environment variables



instead of IDE paths for VC++ builds.





To attach the debugger from the command line, use:



VsJITDebugger.exe -p <pid>

Dr. Troyer, actually I tried C:/Users/Niraj/src/boost_1_55_0 first, it didn't work. Then I tried C:/Users/Niraj/src/boost_1_55_0/boost to see if it would work but it didn't. 

Please send the output of the first attempt if you want us to help. The second is definitely wrong. 

I can see messages BLAS_LIBRARY- NOT59ZTBW, DAKC4UFOUND, LAPACK_LIBRARY-NOT FOUND, MPI_LIBRARY - NOT FOUND, etc. Do you think we need to fix these issues as well ?

That depends on what codes you want to build.

Dr. Troyer, I downloaded "boost 1.55.0" (and I cannot use a version newer than that because alps 2.1.1 does not support it) and tried to build it using CMake but I got the same error message yet again. I checked that the boost folder contains file version.hpp, I specified this location for Boost_root_directory in CMake, it didn't work. I have no idea what went wrong and how to fix it.

P.S. Like you said, building from source is really difficult on Windows, I am going to have a Linux based machine in a few days and then I will build alps from source.

These errors mean that you did not specify the correct paths to various libraries. You will have to provide the CMake output for us to help. But please be aware that building from source on Windows is hard.

Thank you, Dr. Troyer. Now I am having problems trying to build ALPS. I downloaded the source package alps-2.2.b1-r7195-src.tar.gz from the webpage "http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Download_and_install_ALPS_2" and tried to build it, I was not successful at all. Then I downloaded the other source package alps-2.1.1-r6176-src.tar.gz from the same page and tried to build it, I ended up getting the same error message which reads "Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid."

Where can I find the correct source code for ALPS ?

lpsolve and sqlite are not needed anymore. zlib and szlib are included in the binary distributions of HDF5 for Windows, which are easier to use than building from source.

Dear alps users, 

         I have been trying to build alps package from source on Windows 7 OS. I have been following the outdated instructions on the page 

I could not find the proper versions of Zlib, SZlib, Lpsolve and SQlite. There are links on this webpage that read "Check out the source code from <>" where <> is, for instance, https://alps.comp-phys.org/svn/alps1/trunk/wistaria/windows/lpsolve for "Lpsolve". I don't know how to download the source codes using these links.

          I tried to download the source codes from a trusted webpage like sourceforge.net, some of them work while others don't and I keep getting errors.

           Please help me.
