Problem building on Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS

[Josh Anibal]

HI Everyone,

I have been attempting to build OpenVSP on Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS, but have been unable to thus far.

Initially, I was having issues similar to the ones found in the thread "Ubuntu 15.10 build difficulties with OpenVSP 3.4.1" . Downloading the Ubuntu_15.10_fixes branch from GitHub fixed the error associated with fluid, but I have since encountered a different error.

I have double checked that all the packages specified on the installation  wiki are installed and up to date.

Below is a shortened version of the output  I receive when I attempt to build the program (If was very long/repetitive)  . Attached is a text file with the unabridged output.

I am relatively new to Linux, and have no prior experience with Cmake, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Josh:

I got exactly the same errors as you did with Ubuntu 16.04. I dont have a solution, But at least you are not the only one.

Hi Josh:

I fixed the problem. I did the following:

1) cd build

2) rm -rf *

3) cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_FLTK=true
-DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_CPPTEST=true -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_LIBXML2=true
-DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_EIGEN=false -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_FLTK=true
-DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_GLM=true -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_GLEW=true
-DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_CMINPACK=true ../repo/SuperProject

4) make ( and then wait about 15 minutes for it to finish)

Josh, if I run your procedure I get:

Any ideas?

Hi Marko,

Unfortunately, I did not encounter any similar errors when I tried to build. The fix Steven outlined above worked for me as well. You may want to start a separate thread, since this appears to be a new issue. 

below is a link to a zip file with executables that were compiled on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS  64 bit system. I am not sure if they will be any help to you, but it might be worth a try.

 If you have anymore information about the problem, perhaps a longer version of the terminal output, that might help others narrow down the issue.

Hi Josh, thanks for the reply.

It appears I didn't apply the ubuntu 15 pacth correctly.

It's working now, here is a script that would build and install in /opt on mint 18 or ubuntu 16.04

mkdir OpenVSP
cd OpenVSP
mkdir build
mkdir repo
git clone https://github.com/OpenVSP/OpenVSP.git repo
sudo apt install g++ cmake git git-gui libxml2-dev libfltk1.3-dev libcpptest-dev libjpeg-dev libglm-dev libeigen3-dev libcminpack-dev libglew-dev fluid
cd repo
git reset --hard HEAD
git fetch origin
git checkout Ubuntu_15.10_fixes
cd ../build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_FLTK=true -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_CPPTEST=true -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_LIBXML2=true -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_EIGEN=false -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_FLTK=true -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_GLM=true -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_GLEW=true -DVSP_USE_SYSTEM_CMINPACK=true ../repo/SuperProject
make -j8
sudo cp OpenVSP-prefix/src/OpenVSP-build/*.zip /opt/
cd /opt
sudo unzip OpenVSP*.zip
