[SOLVED] Contributing to SOFA

[jjcasmar]

Hi,

I’mg going to begin the work for doing the pull requests for the optimization integrator and the fixes for the new version of CGAL.

Any guide on how to contribute to SOFA? I’m not very proficient in git and I dont like to create a mesh. How should I begin?

Hi Guillaume,

thanks for the link.
I have tried to compile the sofa developer version (7377b6498c99837b4d8423f91953e089cc780e1a) but it’s not compiling. How (or in which branch) should I begin coding?

As you can see on the download page, the last stable branch is v16.08.
If you want to get the last developments, you can clone the (unstable) master branch but beware of which commit you choose. Checkout the right commit by looking at our dashboard.

The commit you specify is compiling well on GCC 4.8 but has not been tested on all other compilers.
What is your compiler? What error did you get?

Hope that helps,
Guillaume.

Hi Guillaume, thanks for the info.

I’m trying to compile the master branch because I plan to to my code and do a merge request. I dont fell that doing my code over the 16.08 is okay because a lot has happened since then.

My gcc version is 5.4 from the Ubuntu 16.04 repos.

The problem I’m having is this one:

CMakeFiles/runSofa.dir/Main.cpp.o: In function ‘main’:

Hi jjcasmar,

Sorry for the late answer.
I don’t understand why you get this error since everything is fine in our gcc testing.
Could you paste the output of CMake generation please?

Best,
Guillaume.

Hi Guillaume,

sorry, I have just seen your post. I dont have the CMake log, as I had to reinstall my SO. Right now I’m using SOFA 16.04 and a plugin as Hugo suggested. If I get this kind of errors another time, I will open another thread. Lets mark this as solved.
