Hi Lujain,

In the code of v16.12, everything looks fine, and it did compile properly on VS2015.
Did you make any change in the code?
Did you followed exactly the instructions in the doc?

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi Hugo,

Thank you for ur reply.
I have never changed everything in the code and i am sure i followed the instructions in the doc. I also built v16.05 successfully before.
Now I have no idea about the problem happened in v16.12. Besides, I have gone through the forum to found some ideas about this problem. Finally no result for bad luck. I also tried vs2013 but the same problems. what should i do?

Hi everyone,

Finally I solved the problem that i have met before, thanks you all!

Hi Lujain,

can you please write what had solved your problem? I’ve exactly the same problem. I’m using SOFA v17.06 and try to compile it with VS Community 2017 version 15.2. And i followed the instructions given at https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/getting-started/build/windows/

I had the same problem you have to add zlib.lib in the linker for debug version. For some reason its looking for zlib.lib instead of zlibd.lib. This worked for me.

Thanks for the input Garibalde!
By the way, there has been dev-effort put in this direction (solving issues in debug mode) recently. Stay tuned!

Hi Lujain,

I meet the same problem as yours. Could you tell me how to solve it? Thank you very much.
And I have tried Garibalde’s solutiom but it do not suit me.

Thanks!

Hi @mermail

Did you check the reply from Garibalde just above ?
adding the zlibd should be specified in when compiling in debug. If it does not solve your problem do not hesitate to open a new thread specific to your problem and post the error message.
Cheers,

Hugo
