[SOLVED] SOFA does not find ini file (I think)

[Anonymous]

Hello, everyone

I’m new to SOFA.
I followed the guide to build SOFA on this web site and I finally completed the building SOFA without any build error.

I built with
– Windows 10
– Visual studio 2015 (x64)
– cmake-gui 3.14.5
– QT 5.12.4 (x64)
– Boost 1.64.0
– Python 2.7.13
and I used the default option

However, when I run runSOFA.exe, the following error occurs.
It seems that sofa does not ini file.
What should I check or something may missed?

Could you help please?

Dear @hyunseoklee

Thank you for your question and welcome to the SOFA forum!
It seems you compiled SOFA successfully. However, when you run runSofa, it runs a batch simulation, i.e. without GUI. Was Qt properly found in the configuration (CMake) phase?
When you run for the first time, it is possible that the .ini files (config file for view for instance). But this is not a problem for your simulation.

I hope this helps.
Best

Hi @Hugo !
Thanks replying

You are right.
I found that cmake did not find Qt directory in cmake configuration phase…

After I changed cache entry command “cmake_prefix_path”(small letter) to “CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH”(capital letter), cmake can find Qt dir and runsofa.exe works properly

Thanks a lot, Hugo.
