[SOLVED] Errors in building SOFA

[Zahra]

I am Using Windows 7, Visual Studio 2012, Cmake 2.8.12.2 and Qt 4.6.2.

1. During Configuring by Cmake, Sometimes I get this message:

> Dependency resolution in progress:
> Adding project ‘Modeler’
> Looking for Q_WS_X11
> Looking for Q_WS_X11 – not found
> Looking for Q_WS_WIN
> Looking for Q_WS_WIN – found
> Looking for Q_WS_QWS
> Looking for Q_WS_QWS – not found
> Looking for Q_WS_MAC
> Looking for Q_WS_MAC – not found
> Found Qt4: C:/Qt/4.8.5/bin/qmake.exe (found version “4.8.5”)

How can I fix it? Cmake still works and generates SOFA solution.

2. In building SOFA I encountered the following three errors:

I) > …SOFA\bin\SofaLoader_1_0.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 5 unresolved externals,

[for example, one of these external errors is:
>ReadState.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _gzgets referenced in function “public:…]

II) > …SOFA\bin\SofaExporter_1_0.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals

III) > …SOFA\bin\SofaMiscTopology_1_0.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 5 unresolved externals

3. Does SOFA need Python? (In building SOFA, some of input libraries has not been created, but after I installed python, all of these libraries created.)

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hello Zahra,

1) This is not an error (notice how it never says “error”), this is just some output from the cmake files for Qt.

3) Sofa does not need Python. However there is a plugin called SofaPython which does, (unsurprisingly). It is not compiled by default, thought.

(As for your second question, I’m not a Windows guy.)
