[SOLVED] Can’t build PluginExample

[fgafarov]

I’m trying to build the PluginExample plugin, but I receive an error:

~/sofa/v15.12/build/applications/plugins/PluginExample$ cmake .
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:28 (find_package):
By not providing “FindSofaGui.cmake” in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by “SofaGui”, but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by “SofaGui” with any
of the following names:

SofaGuiConfig.cmake
sofagui-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of “SofaGui” to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
“SofaGui_DIR” to a directory containing one of the above files. If
“SofaGui” provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.

— Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Please, help me

can you post your CMAKELists.txt in PluginExample?
and do you want to add anything else to Plugin or just want to see the default plugin?

[fgafarov]

I am using default plugin.

It is CMAKELists.txt file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)
project(PluginExample)

set(HEADER_FILES
    MyBehaviorModel.h
    MyMappingPendulumInPlane.h
    MyMappingPendulumInPlane.inl
    MyProjectiveConstraintSet.h
    MyProjectiveConstraintSet.inl
    config.h
)

set(HEADER_FILES_TO_MOC
    MyDataWidgetUnsigned.h
)

set(SOURCE_FILES
    MyBehaviorModel.cpp
    MyDataWidgetUnsigned.cpp
    MyMappingPendulumInPlane.cpp
    MyProjectiveConstraintSet.cpp
    initPlugin.cpp
)

set(README_FILES PluginExample.txt)

find_package(SofaGui REQUIRED)

find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Core QUIET)
if(Qt5Core_FOUND)
    qt5_wrap_cpp(MOCCED_HEADER_FILES ${HEADER_FILES_TO_MOC})
else()
    find_package(Qt4 COMPONENTS qtcore)
    qt4_wrap_cpp(MOCCED_HEADER_FILES ${HEADER_FILES_TO_MOC})
endif()

add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} SHARED ${HEADER_FILES_TO_MOC} ${MOCCED_HEADER_FILES} ${HEADER_FILES} ${SOURCE_FILES} ${README_FILES})
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-DSOFA_BUILD_PLUGINEXAMPLE")
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} SofaGuiQt)
include_directories("${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/..")

install(TARGETS ${PROJECT_NAME}
        COMPONENT PluginExample_libraries
        EXPORT PluginExampleTargets
        RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
        LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
        ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib)

I checked it with mine and it seems fine. I think Cmake has problem finding your SofaGUI. Try to follow the compilation steps in https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/getting-started/build/build-on-windows/

let me know if it works or not.

Thank you. But I am working on Ubuntu not on Windows. I have not experience with cmake earlier.
My steps:
1) I have compiled and run Sofa according https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/getting-started/build/build-on-linux/
2) copied PluginExample to /sofa/v15.12/build/applications/plugins/
3) in /sofa/v15.12/build/applications/plugins/PluginExample executed command cmake .

and I have the error mentioned above.

Step 2 and step 3 are not right.
– Copy PluginExample to /sofa/v15.12/src/applications/plugins/
– Update /sofa/v15.12/src/applications/plugins/CMakeLists.txt
– Run from directory /sofa/v15.12/build/ the command ccmake ../src/
– Activate the line PLUGIN_PLUGINEXAMPLE
– Configure and finally Generate

[fgafarov]

Thank you!
– Copy PluginExample to /sofa/v15.12/src/applications/plugins/ — the PluginExample is initially in this folder

– Update /sofa/v15.12/src/applications/plugins/CMakeLists.txt — I can’t understand what I should do, what means ‘Update’. This file initially contains sofa_add_plugin(PluginExample PluginExample)

– Activate the line PLUGIN_PLUGINEXAMPLE — Where is this line
– Configure and finally Generate –please write me which commands I need to execute

[Fabien]

– Copy PluginExample to /sofa/v15.12/src/applications/plugins/ — the PluginExample is initially in this folder

Yes my bad, by that I mean you shouldn’t copy it elsewhere 🙂

– Update /sofa/v15.12/src/applications/plugins/CMakeLists.txt — I can’t understand what I should do, what means ‘Update’. This file initially contains sofa_add_plugin(PluginExample PluginExample)

Then everything is ok there

– Activate the line PLUGIN_PLUGINEXAMPLE — Where is this line
– Configure and finally Generate –please write me which commands I need to execute

You should do first

cd build/
cmake-gui ../src/

Then tick the box appearing on the line where PLUGIN_PLUGINEXAMPLE is written
Followed by click Configure until no line appears red and finish with a click on Generate
Finally type make in the terminal in the build/ directory

I hope this helps.

Hi @fgafarov,

If no further help is needed, I will close the topic.
May I?
