Missing cmake files for Geomagic Haptic plugin

[mmjl]

Hello,

We have SOFA downloaded via the binaries from the website, and we are trying to compile the plugin for Geomagic Haptics. We've set up the Geomagic drivers and are now trying to activate and compile the plugin in the cmake-gui. However, we are having issues because the CMakeList.txt is asking to find packages such as SofaHapticsConfig.cmake, SofaOpenglVisual.cmake, SofaUserInteraction.cmake, SofaLoader.cmake, and OpenHaptics.cmake. We are not sure where to get these cmake files. We've looked through sofa-master, and it doesn't seem to be in there.

If someone can help direct us to these cmake files and offer advice on compiling this plugin, that would be much appreciated.

Hi @mmjl

Thanks for your question.
Are you trying to compile the Geomagic plugin aside the SOFA binaries?

The libraries you are pointing out and CMake is seeking (SofaHaptics, SofaOpenglVisual, SofaUserInteraction ...) are plugins: optional codes which are available in the plugins/ folder at the root of the binaries. All you need is to add to the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variable (create it if not existing yet) the path towards these plugins.

E.g. for SofaHaptics you should add the path:
........../SOFA_v21.12.00_Linux/plugins/SofaHaptics/lib/cmake/SofaHaptics/SofaHapticsConfig.cmake

Hope this helps.

Best,

Hugo

Thank you! I was able to direct it to the cmake files. However, I ran across this error.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package "SofaHaptics" that is
  compatible with requested version "".

Should I be specifying the version in the CMakeList?

@fredroy would you have any idea on this issue?

when I wrote : E.g. for SofaHaptics you should add the path:
........../SOFA_v21.12.00_Linux/plugins/SofaHaptics/lib/cmake/SofaHaptics/SofaHapticsConfig.cmake

I should have written only the path: ........../SOFA_v21.12.00_Linux/plugins/SofaHaptics/lib/cmake/

could you retry and tell me if it works?

[mmjl]

For reference, this is the error I'm getting. I'm not sure why it is looking for a specific version.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package):
Could not find a configuration file for package "SofaHaptics" that is
compatible with requested version "".

The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

U:/eng_research_mbl/Megan Lee/Megan_SOFA/SOFA_v21.12.00_Win64/plugins/SofaHaptics/lib/cmake/SofaHaptics/SofaHapticsConfig.cmake, version: 21.12.00 (64bit)

Could this be because I am using the x86 program file and windows 64 so the file types are incompatible? Thank you!

[fredroy]

What do you mean by x86 program file ?
But it seems you are right here, other people getting the same kind of error (e.g microsoft/vcpkg#7214) with the mixup x86 (32b) and x64 (64b).
