orthanc-object-storage build for Azure failing

Google Groups archive

Hi,

I follow the below instruction on windows box to build the orthanc-object-storage library to support Azure blob storage. The build is failing with the error

C:\development\sai\OrthancSrc\orthanc-object-storage\Azure\AzureBlobStoragePlugin.cpp(192,21): error C2678: binary ‘==’: no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type ‘utility::string_t’ (or there is no acceptable conversion) [C:\development\sai\OrthancSrc\orthanc-object-storage\build\azure\OrthancAzureBlobStorage.vcxproj]

Can Anyone help me to resolve this error? Also, what is the output of the successful build (is it .dll,so etc…?). I am not that familiar with Orthanc and C/C++
implementation of it as I always worked on Java based DCM4CHEE and Merge VNA in my career.

Assuming if the build is successful and the plugin library is created, where and how should I use it inside the Orthanc server that is already installed and running?

Any help is very much appreciated.

This is the the screenshot of the instructions I followed to create the Azure blob storage plugin for the latest Orthanc server.

Hi Renuka,

Indeed, we do not provide Windows binaries for the azure storage plugin (nobody has ever requested them).
For a cloud deployment, I would recommend you to use Docker images in which the plugin is included.

If you still want to use the Windows Azure storage plugin and since you are ready to spend money at Microsoft for your storage, I would recommend you to get in touch with one of the professionals who can hopefully help you and eventually will be able to provide Windows binaries for Azure storage to the whole community.

Best regards,

Alain.

Hi Alain,
Thanks for the information.I will look into the option of Docker images to start with.

Once I am able to get the Docker engine running and able to store the images to Azure Blob storage I will work on signing up for the professional service.

Thanks again for your help and support.
