[SOLVED] Cannot build sofa.sln with visual studio 2019

[watj]

hi.
I have created sofa.sln with cmake.
Then I get an following　error when building sofa.sln in visual studio.
「Unable to create ” SOFA \ build \ bin \ Debug \”. Cannot create ” SOFA \ build \ bin \ Debug” because a file or directory with the same name already exists.」
How should I solve it?
Thank you.

Hey @ko-bio

Do you confirm that these files already exist (when checking in your file browser)?
Maybe a question of your account right..

Hi@Hugo
Yes.
In this directory,
[debug, release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel, plugin_list.conf.default] already exists.

I am no Windows user but I found this.
Let us know if it helps.

Hey @ko-bio

It looks like your previous post has been edited.
Do you have any update?

hi@Hugo
I’m sorry. I made a mistake and deleted it.
I saw that page, but it didn’t help.

That error occurs when building almost any project.
When I try to build after removing “debug”, I get lots of warnings, some errors and my computer freezes.

Hi @ko-bio

Was this your first install of SOFA?
What is your SOFA version?

[Hugo]

This issue has just been risen: https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa/issues/1331

Stay tuned.

[Hugo]

Now a PR has been made to fix this: https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa/pull/1347.

As soon as it merged, the master branch of SOFA should therefore solve your problem.
Best,

Hugo

hi@Hugo
Thank you for the useful information.
This is the same as my current situation.
I’ll give it a try.

Hi @ko-bio

Since my previous post, the PR was merged, so it is now available in the master branch of the SOFA sources.
Cheers,
