Issues installing

[SatGroenCa]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to get started with SOFA to do some soft robotics simulations. However I cannot seem to get it installed.

I am running the code in a virtual environment (windows 11 dev) as recommended:
https://www.sofa-framework.org/download.
First I tried the windows executable but I seem to get a blank screen for caduceus if I use runSofa
Afterwards I tried the .bat file and doesnt seem to make a difference.
Lastly I tried all the manual steps described
https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/getting-started/build/windows/
However when I use cmake to build I get the following error:

Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid

Looking in the log I noticed the first error as the following:
CMake Error at cmake/Modules/FindEigen3.cmake:41 (file):
file failed to open for reading (No such file or directory):

I installed the latest Eigen as per instructions using CMAKE but if I check the build folder it does not contain a file: FindEigen3.cmake am I missing a step? or how can I start getting this to work?

Kind regards,
Swen

I have found the issue, apparently the openGL.dll are not in hyper-V and windows being windows it results in issues:

I have tried installing on my backup of my desktop and seems to be running now (at least opening up the caduceus file), will look into how to actually start using SOFA now, while running into a SofaPython3 issue.

Anybody has an idea how I can run SOFA on hyper-V? Since it was recommended to use on a virtual machine.

Hi @SatGroenCa

Sorry for the tremendous delay, sometimes we do miss some posts.
Have you tried to manually set the Eigen3_DIR and Eigen3_INCLUDE_DIR ?

I hope you solved your issues by then or you used the binary version of SOFA
