Error Building SOFA V.17.12 on windows 10 in Qt IDE

[Binesh]

Hi
i see building steps in document for windows and i do every things step by step and every things is OK , i opened the project by cmakelist.txt in Qt IDE and i clicked build, but i got an error look like :
MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist.
Switch: all.vcxproj

My Information ::
Os : Windows 10 Build 17074
Sofa v : 17.12
Qt v : 5.9.1 (MSVC 2015 , 32 bit)
cmake v : 3.10.2
Boost v : 1.60.0

Hi Binesh,

Did you configure/generate with “Visual Studio 2015” CMake generator before opening the project in Qt Creator?
If yes, I’m afraid your previous build configuration (Visual Studio 2015) conflicts with Qt Creator toolchain.
Try to clear your CMake configuration from previous build because in order to build with Qt Creator you must select one of the “Codeblocks” generators (by default choose “Codeblocks – Unix Makefile”).
Qt Creator will do it for you if you directly open the project in the IDE with CMakeCache cleared and no CMakeLists.user.txt in source dir.
Do not forget to check your Qt Creator Kits are OK (Tools > Options > Build & Run > Kits).

Hope that helps,
Guillaume.

Thanks Dear @guillaumeparan
I clean every thing and do it again, i used Qt cmake generator for cmake the project , after cmake i started the build process and every thing was good But Advanced Timer report a error

Hi Binesh,

This is a MSVC version problem. Your Visual Studio 2015 needs to be updated to Update 3.
See https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa/issues/420 😉

Cheers,
Guillaume.

Thanks @guillaumeparan
Another thing , How can i build sofa with all cpu core in qt(windows) ?

[Binesh]

@guillaumeparan
I updated VS2015 to update 3 , But error still exist 🙁

[Guillaume]

What exact version of MSVC are you running?
Open “Visual C++ 2015 x64 Native Command Prompt” (or “Visual C++ 2015 x86 Native Command Prompt” if you are building a 32-bit version of SOFA) and run cl to display version details.

Mine is 19.00.24210 and working fine with nlohmann_json.

[Binesh]

My cl version is : 19.00.23506

[Guillaume]

According to nhlomann/json readme, minimal version is 19.0.24215.1
Actually even mine shouldn’t pass ^^’
How did you update? Your version should be higher…

[Binesh]

🙂
I got vs2015.3.exe file from visual studio website and automatically updated to update3
🙁

Hi @secretdevil

I think that I have the problem similar to your problem:

c:\users\cmos\sofa\src\sofakernel\extlibs\json\nlohmann_json.h(1519): error C2784: '_Ty *std::begin(_Ty (&)[_Size]) noexcept': could not deduce template argument for '_Ty (&)[_Size]' from 'add_rvalue_reference<const ContiguousContainer>::type'

Do you find the solution?

please guide me to progress in building the solution
Thank you
