    I am using Linux Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit and I have followed all the steps of compilation and ran configure twice and generated but I am unable to make. The make file is not generated and an attempt to make gives an error “make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.”.

    I have used CodeBlocks Ninja and Clang and the .cbp project file is getting dumped in build folder. How to remove this error.

    CodeBlocks-Ninja does not produce MakeFile while CodeBlocks:Unix-MakeFiles produces MakeFile but while building it shows following error:

    ArgumentParser.cpp:(.text+0x169e): undefined reference to `boost::program_options::abstract_variables_map::operator[](std::string const&) const’
    CMakeFiles/SofaHelper.dir/ArgumentParser.cpp.o:ArgumentParser.cpp:(.text+0x17c2): more undefined references to `boost::program_options::abstract_variables_map::operator[](std::string const&) const’ follow
    CMakeFiles/SofaHelper.dir/ArgumentParser.cpp.o: In function `sofa::helper::ArgumentParser::parse()’:

    Hi Abhishek,

    Generating with “Codeblocks – Ninja” will generate a build.ninja file. The mechanism is the same as a Makefile but it is used by another program named ninja. Ninja is not Make. If you want to use ninja build system (better for SOFA build), you shall first install it: sudo apt install ninja-build. You will then be able to use it like you use make by executing ninja in the build dir.

    Anyway, even with Ninja you will get the boost error because it seems that you don’t have boost::program_options on your system. Try installing it with sudo apt install libboost-program-options-dev. I update the Linux documentation right away 😉

    Cheers,
    Guillaume.

    Hi Guillaume,

    There was a linking issue in CMake and now I am able to build with Ninja as well as Make.

    Now, will try to contribute to SOFA.

    Cheers,
    Abhishek
