OpenMM build issues, missing files

[Ari Munic]

OpenMM is installed on this path: E:\Sorted Files\Program Files\OpenMM
OPENMM_PLUGIN_DIR is set to: E:\Sorted Files\Program Files\OpenMM\lib\plugins

Could the fact that I used a different cl.hpp file be causing the error?

Still having the same issue, any idea what could be going on?

Those values look fine. So let's try digging a bit further.

At the very beginning of simulateArgon() in HelloArgon.cpp, there's a call to OpenMM::Platform::loadPluginsFromDirectory(). Let's find out what's really getting loaded. Immediately after that, add the following lines:

Code: Select all

printf("plugin directory: %s\n", OpenMM::Platform::getDefaultPluginsDirectory().c_str());
printf("%d platforms\n", OpenMM::Platform::getNumPlatforms());
for (int i = 0; i < OpenMM::Platform::getNumPlatforms(); i++)
    printf("%d: %s\n", i, OpenMM::Platform::getPlatform(i).getName().c_str());

What output do you get from that?

If the OpenCL plugin isn't getting loaded, it's probably for one of two reasons: it's looking in the wrong directory, or the plugin has an unresolved dependency on another library (such as AMD's OpenCL library). If it's the latter, Dependency Walker is a useful tool for identifying the problem.

Well I'm not sure what changed, but everything seems to be working now. The output from the code I added in resulted in 2 platforms, reference and opencl. Now all the examples seem to be using opencl. I'm really not sure what changed but so far so good. Thanks for your help.
