Error when building GPU module

[Yi Zhong]

Hi all,

I am trying to update my Chrono to the newest version. I cloned the updated develop branch from github. I am trying to include GPU module. However, I got a error showing "cannot open source file "chrono_thirdparty/chpf/particle_writer.hpp"" and "cannot open input file '..\..\..\lib\Release\ChronoEngine_gpu.lib'". I found that chpf folder in chrono/src/chrono_thirdparty is empty which might cause the error. I am not sure am I correct? Any idea on how to solve the problem?

Best,

Yi

Hi Yi,

I think you just need to do in your Chrono repo, git submodule init, then git submodule update, to have the (newly added) chpf submodule in place, before you compile.

Let me know further questions,
