[SOLVED] comiling errors about CGALplugin

[Lujain]

Hello guys,

I was trying to compile with CGAL plugin in sofa_v16.12, VS2015, boost_1.62,CGAL4.9.

All seem fine but in the end, when i compiled in VS, it informede me there are errors.

"C2440	“<function-style-cast>”: can't convert from “initializer list” into “result_type” (compile sourcefile F:\sofanew\sofasrc\applications\plugins\CGALPlugin\MeshGenerationFromPolyhedron.cpp)	CGALPlugin	C:\boost_1_62_0\boost\parameter\aux_\overloads.hpp	78"

Do you know how to solve this kind of problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Lujain,

I needed also to update my CGAL version.
I am using CGAL plugin in SOFA master branch on linux, boost_1.58, and CGAL4.9 (as you did). I am getting significant errors as well :

We’ll see what we can do with some of the plugin developpers..
Keep you updated.

Hi Hugo,

Thank you promptly! What a bad luck for the problem we have met. C++ template programming…

I also met this error at first:

error: "BOOST_PARAMETER_MAX_ARITY must be at least 12 for CGAL::Mesh_3"

I made some modification about the file global_parameters.h in ..\CGAL-4.9\include\CGAL\Mesh_3 by reference the link http://cgal-discuss.949826.n4.nabble.com/Getting-error-quot-BOOST-PARAMETER-MAX-ARITY-must-be-at-least-12-for-CGAL-Mesh-3-quot-in-CGAL-4-9-td4662304.html#a4662307

And this error was solved but another come. Looking forward ur good news!

Besr Regards!

Hi Hugo,

I forgot to ask you about which CGAL version did you use before. I tried CGAL4.7 on my machine and it works well. But it met with another problem that is when i made a test about CGALplugin, it informed me about information below:

Do you know this kind of problem?

Best wished!

Hi Lujain

The CGAL plugins is indeed not compatible with the latest 4.9 version of CGAL.

Since you opened a new issue for the output problem, I will close this topic. Alright?
In the future, the CGAL SOFA plugin should be made compatible with the 4.9 version.

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi Hugo,

OK,I see.
Looking forward good news.

Best Wishes!
