[SOLVED] Problems when building SOFA

[Aeris309]

Hi,
I am just a beginner of SOFA. Recently, when building SOFA, I encountered some problems as described in log file followed by this link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AcUM4JChT2Z2MywiG3Hx81OUbkWBDHBj/view?usp=sharing

I used Boost 1.67, VS 2017, QT 5.12.1 to build this software in Window.

As I looked at the notifications, I saw that some library files is missing in this path: \sofa\build\lib\Debug
So I wonder if that is the problem. I hope that someone will help me solving this. Thank you.

Now I know where the problem is, it is because of this:
fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ‘boost_program_options-vc141-mt-gd-x32-1_69.lib’

Can anyone know how to solve it?

Hi @minhtruong

Have you well installed boost as described in the documentation for Win?
Look at the required dependencies.

Hi @Hugo

I installed the required boost which is compatible with my VS 2017. I also downloaded the dependencies for VS 2017 and unzipped it in the source directory. I think I followed all required steps but still it didn’t open the boost library.

Hi @minhtruong

It sounds like you followed the step by step tutorial.
However, by googling you issue, it appears that it could be related to a mix between 32 and 64 bit version of libraries.

Which one is your Win? I assume it is x64, you should therefore use the x64 libs for boost other dependencies.

Hi @Hugo
Sorry for being late. I tried but it still did not work.

Hi @minhtruong

Did you read my previous post?
–> It appears that it could be related to a mix between 32 and 64 bit version of libraries. I think you installed a 32bit version of either Visual or boost, while your Windows should be a 64bit.

Hi @Hugo

I managed to solve that problem. But now I encounter another error:

I hope that you would show me how to solve this. Thank you.

Hi @minhtruong

You are compiling SOFA in debug.
Please rather use the option CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Hi @Hugo

I switched to Release mode and it still did not work. Here is the problem:

Hi @minhtruong

I can’t see your error.
I would recommend to clean the CMake, reconfigure, generate, and recompile everything in Release. If you still have a compilation error, please post it fully.

Hi @Hugo

I am terribly sorry. I have tried many times in compiling the software and each time I followed your steps (cleaned the Cmake, reconfigure,..) but the problems still exist.

Here is the log for the compilation error:

I hope you could help me solve this problem. Thank you

Hi @minhtruong

By looking to this article, it seems that VStudio iterator debug level has default value. It might conflict with the level of boost. You should make both match.

Let us know if it helps.

Hi Hugo,

Sorry for being this late.

Finally, I can manage to install the software successfully. Now I can use Sofa for my research.
Thank you for supporting me all the time.

Best Regards,
Minh Truong
