DLLs error when building SOFA in Windows10

Hi,
I am facing some problems when building sofa from sources with the python3 plugin on windows10. I have partially solved it but my solution is still hacky.

To build Sofa I have followed the instruction at: https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/getting-started/build/windows/

Here’s myexternal libraries:
Eigen3 – last version downloaded from https://gitlab.com/libeigen/eigen/
Boost – boost_1_76_0
QT 5.15.2
sofa – stable version v20.12 (v20.12 https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa.git sofa/src)

I could succesfully compile via:

mkdir build 
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../src
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --install .

The python plugin is also compiled as I have downloaded the sources before running cmake.

Just a note (that I could not find in the documentation) when building using cmake and VS compiler via command line: The cmake –install step won’t work in Debug since it can’t find the gtest.dll. The reason is that the GTest dlls generated in debug are called gtest_d.dll.
When using VS compiler, using –config Release is necessary to compile in release when using VS compiler (using -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release in the cmake step is not sufficient).

Anyhow, when using “cmake –build . –config Release” and “cmake –install .” everything compiles and install properly. However, when I try to launch the runSofa.exe it won’t launch as it misses a lot of .dlls. Basically, all the plugins’ dlls are not loaded. They are present in each plugin folder (<sofa_dir>\install\plugins\<PluginName>\bin) but are not seen when I try to launch the runSofa.exe.
My understanding is that the PluginManager should load them, but this doesn’t happen. If I manually add the SofaValidation.dll, SofaGraphComponent.dll, SofaGeneralLoader.dll,
SofaUserInteraction.dll to my <sofa_dir>\install\bin, I can launch runSofa.exe. However, adding things manually is a bit of a hacky solution, I guess there is something wrong that prevent my dlls from being accessible/correctly loaded when running the .exe file. Can you also reproduce this error?

Similarly, I also have problems launching sofaPython3 plugin from my python environemnt. I’ve added the <sofa_install>/bin dir to the Path environment variable but when I try to import Sofa I still get problems finding DLLs. I tried to copy all the DLLs generated in the <sofa_dir>\install folder and subfolders to a different folder location and add this folder to the Path environemnt variable and… everything works. So I really guess something is not properly copied in the bin folder during the make_install step.

The good new is that all these dlls copying workarounds seem to work. The bad new is that this is a very hacky solution. Any idea how to solve it/what might be wrong?

Thanks for the support!
