[SOLVED] SoftRobots plugin

[John]

Hi
I also have a problem with adding SoftRobots plugin.In CMAKE-GUI,after adding the path of plugin folder to SOFA EXTERNAL DIRECTORIES,it showed errors like this:

CMake Error at applications/plugins/SoftRobots/CMakeLists.txt:43 (sofa_copy_libraries_from_targets): Unknown CMake command "sofa_copy_libraries_from_targets".

I checked the CMakeLists.txt but don’t know how to solve it.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you
John

Hi,

I have the exact same problem as John. How can I resolve this issue?

Thanks a lot,

Hi @johnza @brunob81hk

I am passing the topic back to pending, since it was not visible in the list of open topics (that I am always using).

Which version of SOFA + SoftRobot are you both using?

How are you building the SoftRobot plugin? Separately from SOFA (out of tree)? Using the EXTERNAL_DIRECTORIES CMake variable? directly into SOFA (which is not recommanded)

I’m using SOFA 19.12 with the last version of SoftRobots (I can’t find the version). I’m building it with SOFA_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORIES.

Hi @brunob81hk

Could you check the version of the sources of SoftRobots by checking the git branch you are using?

I think your problem could be fixed by replacing the command
sofa_copy_libraries_from_targets
with
sofa_install_libraries
(keeping the same parameters)

Best,

It worked! I changed sofa_copy_libraries_from_targets(Qt5::Network) with sofa_install_libraries(TARGETS Qt5::Network)

[Hugo]

Nice work @brunob81hk !!

Could you please check your SoftRobot version though? I would help knowing if this change must be reported back in the branch.

Best,

Hugo

Sorry for the late response, I’m using the master branch.

Hi @brunob81hk

And where did you download it from?

Apparently it is fixed now the master branch: see the code here.

I think we can close this topic.
Best,

I’m using the one from https://github.com/faichele/SoftRobots which is the one required to work with the SofaROSConnector plugin.

I realise tat this one is a fork that is behind the other one.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a similar error like the one mentioned above. I try to build Sofa (using 19.12) with the Soft Robots Plugin (from Defrost repo) on MacOS and so far I cloned both repositories and wrote a CMakeLists.txt file to build out of tree. When I try to configure with flag PLUGIN_SOFTROBOTS activated I get the following error from CMake:

CMake Error at /Users/jona/sofa/src/SofaKernel/SofaFramework/CMakeParseLibraryList.cmake:41 (message):
  Invalid arguments
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /Users/jona/sofa/src/SofaKernel/SofaFramework/SofaMacros.cmake:840 (PARSE_LIBRARY_LIST)
  /Users/jona/sofa/plugins/SoftRobots/CMakeLists.txt:42 (sofa_install_libraries)

I didn’t change anything in the CMakeLists.txt file (of the plugin) and don’t really know how to solve this issue, so any help would be appreciated!

Thank you
Jonny

Hi @jonny

I replied here, I therefore close this topic as planned.
