building sofa as debian package

[Deimel]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody actually uses cmake’s CPACK functionality for sofa?

I did some testing, and it seems like the file paths (configuration, resources) are messed up when installing from the deb package built by ‘make package’. One problematic thing is that all files are put under /usr (/usr/etc, /usr/share). But the current show stopper seems to be that /usr/etc is missing some configuration files, sofa.ini in particular.

After a quick check, the same problem seems to exist in the tar.gz package too.

As a workaround I currently install sofa in its own directory using make install and then just copy it over to other computers.

Best, Raphael

Hi Raphael,

Thank you for this feedback.
Till now, we do not support (and did not experience) debian packages.

All our releases are created using make install (as you did) and the whole install directory is zipped. Maybe something is going wrong with the tar.gz compression.

For more info about release with SOFA: see the doc. Hope this helps.
Soon, a new release (v16.12) of SOFA will be available. Stay tuned.
Best,

Hugo
