[SOLVED] Windows documentation – still up to date?

[Michel]

Dear SOFA support,

I just want to ask whether the SOFA build documentation for Windows is up to date. It says that SOFA requires Qt 4.8.3 or more recent, yet the current CMake build requires us to give some CMake files for Qt, which I think is new to Qt5.

Also, the documentation needs to be specific about Boost. SOFA CMake wants a Boost CMake file path as well, and yet, Boost does not typically feature CMake. There is one website out there that does, but this website is not reliable. This needs to be cleaned up and tested thoroughly.

Please verify if this doc is up to date, and if not please make it relevant to the current build process. This is a little frustrating.

Cheers,

Michel

Dear Michel,

That’s a fact, SOFA Documentation is not up to date. With the recent creation of SOFA Consortium, a better documentation is among the top priority task we have … as are the better website, better community support and better framework tasks.

So don’t worry, we are aware of this problem and very councerned about it.

A funny thing is that we actually plan to work on the documentation this week, starting with the “Main Principles” and “Getting Started” sections.

If you would like speed it up and help us, for exemple by listing what need to be updated for some pages, you are very welcome 🙂
So far, your suggestions about Qt versions and Boost dependencies are duely noted.

Thanks ! 🙂
Guillaume.

Dear Michel,

As we mentioned in your other thread, the Online Documentation regarding the compilation has been updated, and its structure has been homogenized.

Cheers,

Hugo
