Cant build sofa with the STLIB and soft robots plugin

[AnoushS]

I am currently trying to configure cmake to build sofa with the soft robots plugin. I have enabled sofapython and when configuring it says I require the STLIB plugin, so I pulled the repo from git and included it in the sofa_external_directories. I now have two directories in my sofa_external_directories as seen here:

/home/anoush/sofa/plugin/STLIB;/home/anoush/sofa/plugin/SoftRobots

When I configure, I think all works well however there are some warnings. When I generate build files and use ninja to build I get the following error:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

There is a long list of errors and warnings as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dear,
You should take the picture of the errors shown on the terminal to help us know what is your problem.

Thank you for the response. The errors in the terminal are very long, however I included part of the error that I think is contributing to the failure to build.

[50/70] Building CXX object external_d…traint/model/AffineFunctionModel.cpp.o

Hi @anoushs

Welcome on the forum!
You are explaining that you have an error at the compilation time, right?
I assume you therefore have no error at the configure/generate (CMake) phase. Is it correct?

As @nhnhan said, we will need the full error description.
Could you share this with us?

Hi Hugo;
Thank you for your response. The full error is too long to post here, so I included a link to a document with the full error when compiling using ninja.

I believe there are no errors at configuration/generation phase. I also followed the following tutorial and was able to compile the “myawesomecomponents” plugin in this video
How to compile a plugin

Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks,
Anoush

Hi @anoushs

It appears that you are compiling the master branch of SOFA, where developments are done. This is no stable branch (just FYI).

The compilation error comes from the change introduced in SOFA by PR #1686. As written in the error:

Update your code by replacing #include<sofa/defaulttype/Vec3Types.h> with #include<sofa/defaulttype/VecTypes.h>

Could you please correct the STLIB plugin and pull-request your changes back to the repo?

Best,

Hugo

Hi Hugo;

Thank you for your response. Can you please explain where specifically to replace the Vec3Types.h code? I have not written any code and just pulled the git repos for the plugins and sofa etc.

Thanks,
Anoush

Hi @anoushs

Sorry for my latency. The change I mentioned above is to be done in the includes of the C++ codes in the STLIB plugin. But did you update the STLIB plugin as well? Devs might have updated the plugin according to SOFA changes.

Best wishes,

Hugo
