Building pyrealsense2 on Windows: Cannot open input file 'realsense2-gl.lib' about librealsense HOT 6 OPEN

Hi @mrortach As you are using Visual Studio, I wonder whether you need to set up linkages to realsense2.dll. If the full RealSense SDK has been installed on Windows using the Intel.RealSense.SDK-WIN10 installer file then the SDK provides three .props property sheet files for doing this. They can be found at C: > Program Files (x86) > Intel RealSense SDK 2.0

Once the SDK is installed and you can access the three props files in the SDK folder, the link below has a C++ Visual Studio tutorial shared by a RealSense user for creating a starter project using the props files.

I tried to compile pyrealsense2 version 2.54.2.5684 for Python 3.12 using the method you suggested, but it didn't work.

As the errors reference GL, I wonder whether they are occurring because -DBUILD_GRAPHICAL_EXAMPLES=TRUE is not included in your CMake build instruction. When building librealsense from source, this instruction is required in order to build the SDK with OpenGL graphics support included.

When setting -DBUILD_GRAPHICAL EXAMPLES to True, -DBUILD_EXAMPLES must also be true. So adding these two flags to your CMake build instruction would make it look like this:

cmake .. -DFORCE_RSUSB_BACKEND=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS=bool:true -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE="C:/***/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python312/python.exe" -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=TRUE -DBUILD_GRAPHICAL_EXAMPLES=TRUE

Another approach to installation may be to install the 2.54.2 SDK without pyrealsense2 by using the Intel.RealSense.SDK-WIN10 installer file and de-selecting the Python wrapper component on the installer's configurartion options so that the Python 3.7 version of the wrapper is not installed.

Then once the 2.54.2 SDK is installed, build the Python wrapper separately from source code for Python 3.12.

I partially did it yesterday, but today I couldn't get it done.

What errors do you get when building the Python wrapper on Windows separately after the SDK is installed, please?
