[SOLVED] Problem in installing STlib

[Amir]

Hello
I tried to add Softrobot Plugin as you explained in the before comments:
1-download Softrobot Plugin from git clone https://github.com/SofaDefrost/SoftRobots
2-make a separate folder “plugin” outside src and put the downloaded file there
3-add the path of separate plugin folder to SOFA EXTERNAL DIRECTORIES
4-and configure Cmake GUI
But after configuration I found this warning message in Cmake log:

-- -- The highly recommended 'STLIB' plugin is missing. You can compile SoftRobots but most of the provided examples will not work. 

So as the message said I couldn’t open any example of this plugin

Now I added STLIB as an external directory to fix the problem and added the plugin at the same time. But when I want to compile again with ninja
it gets error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSofaComponentCommon
So Please let me know your thoughts

Hi @amir

With both STLIB and SoftRobot, what was the full output of CMake?
What was the full error (before /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSofaComponentCommon)

Dear @Hugo
I add these two addresses to external directory together
/home/user/sofa/STLIB;/home/user/sofa/plugins
and turning plugin_sofapython on

this is the output of Cmake after configuration and generation:

Adding module SofaPreconditioner
Adding module SofaHaptics
Adding module SofaOpenglVisual
Adding plugin CImgPlugin
CImgPlugin: TIFF Image Format enabled
CImgPlugin: JPEG Image Format enabled
CImgPlugin: PNG Image Format enabled
Adding plugin SofaMiscCollision
SofaMiscModule: build all maintained sofa components.
SofaMiscCollision: optional dependency SofaSphFluid not found de-activing: <SpatialGridPointModel>
-- PSL is an experimental feature, use it at your own risk.
Adding application runSofa
Write Plugin list at /home/amir/sofa/build/lib/plugin_list.conf.default

Adding external directory: plugins (/home/amir/sofa/plugins)
Install prefix: /home/amir/sofa/build/install
-- Found dependency : 'STLIB' plugin .

it seems everything is ok in Cmake

this is the output after compiling with ninja:

Hi @amir

I guess you are using both SOFA and SoftRobot (recent) source version, are you?
If so, could you try to add at line 223 of the CMakeList.txt at the root of the SoftRobot plugin: SofaComponentCommon to the list of target_link_libraries ?

Hugo

[Amir]

Dear @Hugo
Thank you, As you told I added the SofaComponentCommon but after compile, the error is not solved:

Sorry @amir

I replied without carefully checking.
A recent pull-request (#1314) removed what is called collections in SOFA, it had some impacts on the Cmake configurations. See here for SofaComponentCommon.

Could you just delete your CMakeCache, reconfigure SOFA (+SoftRobot) and recompile both.

Hugo

[Amir]

Dear @Hugo
I didn’t get it what you mean? removing SofaComponentCommon from Cmakelist and delete Cmake cache and recompile and rebuild again? if that is what you mean I did it again and the error is the same.I always recompile SOFA+Softrobot together

Many thanks for your support
Amir

Hi @amir,

It seems to be the tests of SofaRobots that are failing to link.

Edit the file SoftRobots/tests/CMakeLists.txt, at line 26 you will find something like:

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} SofaTest SofaGTestMain SoftRobots SofaCore SofaConstraint SofaBaseMechanics SofaUserInteraction SofaComponentCommon)

Remove that SofaComponentCommon from there and replace it with SofaCommon.

If it solves your problem, don’t hesitate to create an issue on the github of SofaRobots

Dear @jnbrunet

Thanks for your advice. it works and the problem is solved.
Best Regards
AMir
