Trouble building OpenSim 4.0 from source

[Kenechukwu Mbanisi]

Hello All,

I am trying to build the OpenSim 4.0 from source to explore the new functionalities at the workshop, but I am having some challenges.

Here's my setup:
1. CMake version: 3.8.0
2. Visual Studio: Version 14, 2015 64bit
3. OS: Windows 10

I am going through the superbuild process here (https://github.com/opensim-org/opensim-core), but my CMake configuration process is failing with the error:

Code: Select all

Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid

Has anyone else experienced this? How can I resolve this?

Thank you.

Kenechukwu

There are several possible explanations. Please Google for some ideas. Also be sure that you've clicked "Configure" at least twice and have filled in any textboxes that are highlighted in red.

Are there any other error messages or information you can provide? CMake should give you a path to a CMakeError.log that might have more information.

Hello Tom and Chris,

Kene is still working, but my machine looks like to be installed.
Now I set an environmental variables. Do we need to delete path to OpenSim 33?

Thank you

Hello,

Sorry, here's more information on the error: It says it couldn't find git for clone of BTK, but I am not cloning using git. I downloaded the zip file and unzipped as instructed to the C: drive.

Code: Select all

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.8/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:1805 (message):
  error: could not find git for clone of BTK
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.8/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:2560 (_ep_add_download_command)
  CMakeLists.txt:120 (ExternalProject_Add)
  CMakeLists.txt:142 (AddDependency)

I also attached the CMakeOutput.log file. I'm really not able to make sense out of it.

[Christopher Dembia]

Ah thanks for the additional information. Superbuild requires that you have installed git.

[Christopher Dembia]

Is this resolved?

[Hide Kimpara]

No, Kenechukwu has still trouble in install. He may wish to ask team members to solve his case during office hour.
Thank you, Hide.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for the pointer. With Git installed on my PC, I was able to build the OpenSim dependencies and generate the project files successfully. I also completed the ALL_BUILD process, but the RUN_TESTS_PARALLEL failed. The MATLAB tests are failing.

Here's the error:

I have tried it twice. My MATLAB setup is 2017a.

Any pointers on what to do about this?

Make sure to Build the "INSTALL" target as well, then re-run the test. You should find it under "CMakePredefinedTargets". Let us know if this fixes the problem or not.
