[SOLVED] SOFA V16.08 Build Issue on Windows 7

[bushra]

Hello SOFA Community,

Here I am again with some issues in building SOFA V16.08. I am using Windows 7. I followed all the steps for building SOFA on windows as mentioned on instruction page. It did not give me any kind of error. But I could not be able to run it. Whenever I clicked on Modeler.exe, GUI is opened but when I try to click on any component, it crashes. I tried it in VS 2012, VS 2013 and VS 2015 but I ended up with the same issue. Please help me to fix it. I also want to mention here that the older version of SOFA (15.09) is working fine on my system under Windows 7 with VS 2012 installed and QT 4.8.6.

P.S. I built the SOFA V16.08 on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04LTS), and it compiled successfully there. But my problem is, I have to do some development on Xitact Device and Xitact support is available only for windows.

Waiting for your reply.
With Best Regards,
Bushra Sadia

Hi bushra,

Unfortunately I have no lucky guess for this problem.
Did you try to start Modeler.exe with the console? It may show some output on crash.
Otherwise, I invite you to compile in Debug mode and run the Modeler through a debugger to locate the problem. I will give it a try as soon as possible.

Hope this helps,
Guillaume.

Hi Guillaume,

I built SOFA in debug mode. But when I try to run Modeler.exe, It says that “This program can’t start because MSVCP100D.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this issue”
I googled this issue and tried different solutions mentioned on different forums but my problem is still there. I even reinstalled the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable but it was not resolved yet.
I restarted my system, rebuilt SOFA in DEBUG mode and then somehow that issue is fixed. But now the previous issue is still there. I tried to debug it and ended up with this exception: “Unhandled exception at 0x771BEDDB (ntdll.dll) in Modeler.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x4E657361.”

Please guide me what should I do now?

And when I try to run modeler from console, Nothing is printed there on crash of modeler.

Thanks
Regards,
Bushra

Hi Guillaume,

I have resolved the issue. I used Qt 5.6.1 with Boost 1_61_0 with Visual studio 2015. I had to build a project for Zlib. I replaced the existing zlib.lib and zlib.dll in lib folder and my issue is resolved.
Thanks a lot 🙂

Regards,
