[SOLVED] SofaBaseTopology/*.h: No such file or directory

[gaetan]

Hi!

I’m facing a problem while building sofa since I added some files to my project. I downloaded the version 18.12.01 and I still have the same problem :

In my main file .cpp I have :
#include <SofaBaseTopology/TetrahedronSetTopologyContainer.h>
When I try to build, I get SofaBaseTopology/TetrahedronSetTopologyContainer.h : No such file or directory

So I tried to modify the path as :
#include <sofa/../../modules/SofaBaseTopology/TetrahedronSetTopologyContainer.h>
Which works fine, the file is found but then the problems occurs on the dependent files:

In TetrahedronSetTopologyContainer.h :
#include <SofaBaseTopology/TriangleSetTopologyContainer.h>
And then the same error..

Do you know if there is a way to solve this problem ? Maybe including the path of SofaBaseTopology somewhere in cmake ?

Thank you in advance,
Gaetan

Hi Gaetan

If I understood correctly, you downloaded the binary version of SOFA v18.12.01. And now you are willing to compile your own plugin separately. Is that it?
Could you describe the way your repositories are arranged? (where are the binaries of SOFA, where is you main.cpp etc)

Hi Hugo, sorry I should have been more precise.
I downloaded the sources of the last stable version (18.12.01), added my plugins (without the file causing the error) and compiled it successfully. Everything works fine but when I add (to the CMakeLists) the file containing this include
#include <SofaBaseTopology/TetrahedronSetTopologyContainer.h>
I get the error
SofaBaseTopology/TetrahedronSetTopologyContainer.h : No such file or directory

Probably the compiler doesn’t find the directory SofaBaseTopology because it works when I modify the path as
#include <sofa/../../modules/SofaBaseTopology/TetrahedronSetTopologyContainer.h>
But I cannot do it for all the SofaBase source files.

My plugins are in a separate directory as follow :
sofa/external-plugins/MyPlugins/MyComponents

Source and build of sofa paths are :
sofa/sofa-18.12.01/src
sofa/sofa-18.12.01/build

Hi @gaetan

thanks for the detailed explanation, it helps. Can you finally post your plugin CMakeLists.txt please?

Hugo

Sure, here it is (I removed the unrelated components).

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)
project(CardiacReduction VERSION 0.1)
find_package(SofaFramework REQUIRED)

set(HEADER_FILES
    initCardiacReduction.h
    config.h
#    main.h
)

set(SOURCE_FILES
    initCardiacReduction.cpp
#    main.cpp
)

add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} SHARED ${HEADER_FILES} ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} SofaCore)
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-DSOFA_BUILD_CARDIACREDUCTION")

install(TARGETS CardiacReduction
        RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
        LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
        ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib)

Ok, you then have a problem of dependency. Let me explain.

You are including classes contained in the SofaBaseTopology library. As shown in the CheatSheet (not perfectly up to date FYI), the SofaBaseTopology belongs the SofaBase package.

Here is the CMakeLists.txt you need to use:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)
project(CardiacReduction VERSION 0.1)
find_package(SofaFramework REQUIRED)
find_package(SofaBase REQUIRED)

set(HEADER_FILES
    initCardiacReduction.h
    config.h
#    main.h
)

set(SOURCE_FILES
    initCardiacReduction.cpp
#    main.cpp
)

add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} SHARED ${HEADER_FILES} ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} SofaCore SofaBaseTopology)
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-DSOFA_BUILD_CARDIACREDUCTION")

install(TARGETS CardiacReduction
        RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
        LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
        ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib)

Let me know if it helps.
Best

Yes it helps a lot thank you that solved the problem!

I also had to add SofaComponentBase in addition to SofaBaseTopology to the target_link_libraries.

Thank you again,

Gaetan
