[SOLVED] Build SOFA with MSVC 11.0 and Qt 4.8.5 (64-bit)

[Jo]

Hi!
I have some problems to build SOFA and I’m not familiar with software.
So, would anyone explain what I should do with these problems?
I followed your web site’s instructions to install SOFA and I generated sofa.sln successfully. After then I opened it using visual studio 2012 and attempted to build it, but failed with errors.
Here is error messages.

So, if anyone can guide me in detail that will be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I’m not under windows, so I will not be able to help you.

However, it seems there is a problem with your Qt installation.
What version do you use?
Can you check that the file ‘ui_GUI.h’ is somewhere in the build directory?
How did you install Qt?

[Marc]

Besides, I would advise using ASCII-only files paths, I’m not quite sure everything in Sofa can handle other characters.

(Sorry, this has nothing to do with your issue; this is just a remark.)

[Jo]

Thank you for answering.
I downloaded qt4.8.6 from QT website(http://qt-project.org/downloads) and Qt4.8.5(64-bit) for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 from SOFA website. (I have windows7 64bit and visual studio 2012.) After installing QT4.8.6, qt4.8.5 unziped files were combined with QT installation folder.
That’s all I did with QT.
Is there anything wrong or missing?
If so, please give me some advice.

[Marc]

The errors say that the file ui_GUI.h is not found. This file should be generated during the build; can you tell us if you can find it it the build directory? (On my system, it’s in <build_dir>/applications/sofa/gui/qt/ui_GUI.h)

Besides:

• You don’t need to both install Qt and download the Qt archive from the website.
• The Qt archive we provide should be extracted in the Sofa source tree, not in the Qt installation directory

I don’t know if this is related to your issue, but I can’t exclude it. Personally, I would uninstall Qt if I don’t need it, and manually remove the installation directory to get rid of the files from the archive.

[Jo]

‘ui_GUI.h’ file does not exit in my system, however, error messages were changed after I followed your advice about QT.

Here are new error messages.

As you said, I moved the QT archive from QT installation directory to SOFA source directory, which was downloaded from github, and reinstalled QT after removing it.
You said that I don’t need to both QT installation and QT archive, but, when I run Cmake after removing QT, error was occured. So, I had to reinstall QT.

[Marc]

Wait, what? What did you download from GitHub?

Anyway, I suspect you checked out a commit that simply doesn’t build on Windows.
Can you try to update to a more recent commit? (git pull)

[Jo]

I mean I got SOFA by cloning Git repository, as your website suggested.
========================================================================
You can get SOFA by cloning the Git repository hosted on InriaForge:
git clone git://scm.gforge.inria.fr/sofa/sofa.git
========================================================================
And then I run cmake. Did I do something wrong?

[Marc]

No, that’s perfect. It just happens that when you cloned the repository, the last commit did not build on Windows, I think.

This error has been fixed by now, and you can try to update your Sofa repository with git pull, and try to compile again.

[Jo]

I updated SOFA repository with ‘git fetch’ and ‘git merge’ instead of ‘git pull’ because ‘git pull’ didn’t operate properly.
Anyway, most of errors were disappeared, however, I still have two errors as follows.
===========================================================================================
Error 853 error C2059: syntax error : ‘?’ C:\Users\kyungmin Jo\Documents\GitHub\sofa\applications\projects\runSofa\Main.cpp 228 1 runSofa
876 IntelliSense: command-line error: invalid macro definition: -DQT_DLL c:\Users\kyungmin Jo\Documents\GitHub\sofa\applications\projects\runSofa\Main.cpp 1 1 runSofa

[Marc]

Mmmh… I don’t know… To me, this is line 228:

sofa::helper::Logger::getMainLogger().log( sofa::helper::Logger::Warning, std::string( "Invalid argument ‘") + colorsStatus + std::string("‘ for ‘--colors‘" ) );

Do we agree? I don’t see where the error could come from. Can you try commenting the line out?

[Jo]

It’s same as mine.
I built SOFA after switching line228 with yours, just in case, however, same errors were still occured.
Here are the lines near line228 in my system. Are there any difference with yours?
========================================================================================
else
{
Console::setColorsStatus(Console::ColorsAuto);
sofa::helper::Logger::getMainLogger().log( sofa::helper::Logger::Warning, std::string( “Invalid argument ‘”) + colorsStatus + std::string(“‘ for ‘–colors‘” ) );
}
========================================================================================

[Jo]

I havn’t still solved those two errors.
Here are installation steps that I did with SOFA.
Would you look into them whether there are anyting wrong?
=============================================================
1. git clone git://scm.gforge.inria.fr/sofa/sofa.git –> in github/sofa directory
2. git pull (git fetch + git merge) –> in github/sofa directory
3. download sofa-win-dependencies-21-11-2013.zip –> unzip it in github/sofa directory
4. download qt4.8.5_msvc2012_x86.zip –> unzip it in github/sofa directory
5. download qt-opensource-windows-x86-vs2010-4.8.6.exe –> excute it to install qt
6. download cmake-3.3.0-win32-x86.exe -> install cmake3.3.0
7. excute cmake_gui -> source code directory is github/sofa, binaries directory is github/sofa
8. In cmake_gui, click configure twice (visual studio 11 2012) –> click generate
9. In visual studio 2012, open sofa.sln –> build solution
===================================================================================

I really don’t know what the problem is…

[Marc]

What you describe looks fine to me (I’m not a Windows guy, though).

I don’t understand what the problem is either… What if the you comment out the line on which the compiler says there is a error?

Also, just a couple of things I’d like to say:

• I’m pretty sure you don’t need to install Qt4 in addition to the precompiled binaries distributed for SOFA;
• It’s a good idea to choose a build directory different from the source directory;
• Just for info, GitHub is the name of a hosting serving based on Git; SOFA has little to do with GitHub, it simply uses Git as is SCM.

[Jo]

Thanks for info.
It still had an error although I removed QT4 and seperated build directory from source directory.
However, after I commented out the line which occured the error, it seems to be work.. but pretty slow..and have some warnings when I run ‘runSofa’.
Anyway, for now, it works.
Thank you for help.

[Marc]

I suspect that you built in debug mode, since this makes code slower and create additionnal warnings. (Also, I believe this is the default for Visual Studio.)

In the Visual Studio GUI, you have a drop-down list with the type of build: you can try a “Release” build instead of a “Debug” build.
