Intro

In order to allow building plugins separately from Sofa and building an external application or library which depends on sofa, we provide cmake package configurations files. Those files are what cmake looks for when you call find_package(Something), which is now how you find the dependencies for your plugins.

The repository is divided in multiple packages: SofaFramework for framework/, SofaSimulation for sofa/simulation, five packages for modules (divided according to the SofaComponent* meta-libraries), and SofaGui for GUI-related libraries.

Also, there is a package for each plugin that is expected to be used as a library. (E.g. SofaPython, Compliant, Flexible…)

The following section lists the libraries is each package.
