[SOLVED] SOFA compiling problem

[usr]

I wasn’t able to setup SOFA for simulations on my daughter computer running a Debian 9, even though I followed exactly the well explained procedure in the SOFA Site tutorial (https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/getting-started/build/linux/). Can anyone kindly look over the errors that I get during the compilation and help me resolve them.

1- CMake setup
Generator : CodeBlocks-Ninja
Native compilers : /usr/bin/clang and /usr/bin/clang++

2- Output of CMake Configure
Please follow the link “https://imagebin.ca/v/3VkoTSE51z4O”

3- Selected build files
Please follow the link “https://imagebin.ca/v/3VkuiuuI6zTc”

Hi,

Could you post the output you get when compiling? From the output of CMake, it looks like the configuration was successful.

Cheers,

Thanks for your help, I attached below what I get when I click on generate and I put in bold between bracket the red ouputs. In addition, there is no “runSofa” application within the path /home/user1/sofa/build/v17.06/bin. It is empty and I can not find runSofa anywhere.
Regards.

CMake generate outputs:

At this point, only the configuration is done. To build the runSofa application, you need to run the command ninja from the /home/user1/sofa/build/v17.06/ directory. This could take from 10 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your machine.

Once compilation is complete, you can run ninja install from the same directory to perform the installation. You can also run Sofa directly from the build directory in /home/user1/sofa/build/v17.06/bin

Let me know if you still have issues after that.

Cheers,
Vincent

Hi,
As you said, the compilation with the ninja took almost 1 hour. Once completed, I was able to successfully run the runSofa application from /home/user1/sofa/build/v17.06/bin.

I sincerely appreciate your help and thank you very much for your time and for your experiences sharing.
Best regards,
