[SOLVED] Lots of glew errors while building Sofa

[Olumide]

I am building sofa from source and I’m getting lots of glew related errors

Install prefix: /home/Olumide/Downloads/src/sofa-src/sofa/src/Release/install
CMake Error at /home/Olumide/Downloads/src/glew/build/cmake/glew-config.cmake:16 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    /home/Olumide/Downloads/src/glew/build/cmake/glew-targets.cmake

CMake Error at /home/Olumide/Downloads/src/glew/build/cmake/CopyImportedTargetProperties.cmake:64 (get_property):
  get_property could not find TARGET GLEW::glew.  Perhaps it has not yet been
  created.

I downloaded glew from https://github.com/nigels-com/glew.

What is the procedure for building glew for sofa?

Hi,

You don’t have to download and build GLEW by yourself.
As explained in build SOFA on Linux documentation, you simply need to run sudo apt install libglew-dev and CMake will then find GLEW in your system.

Hope that helps,
Guillaume.

Thanks @Guillaume. What threw me was that there is no explicit glew directory, debug or release static libraries or debug shared library — at least not that I could find.
(https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libglew-dev/filelist)

Marking as answered.

Hi all,

I am getting the same errors. I cannot use the apt install because I do not have admin privileges.

Can we reopen this thread?

Kind regards,

Cedric
