CMake Error when using Ninja as generator

[GFMicroPort]

Hi,

I am trying to install SOFA 22.06 from sources on a Windows 10 computer but I am facing some problems during the configuring/generating steps with cmake choosing the Ninja generator. I obtain the error:

CMake Warning:
  Ignoring extra path from command line:

   "C:/Users/../Desktop/CardiacModel/venv/Scripts/python.exe"

Previously, I already installed the different dependencies as explained at https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/getting-started/build/windows/ and installed chocolatey (in order to run cmake and ninja).

Hi @GFMicroPort

Welcome on the SOFA forum! First time I see this as well and not being a Windows user, this did not ring a bell to me.
What is your CMake version?
However, I found this thread mentioning the issue, let me know if it does (or doesn't) help!

Cheers

[hugtalbot]

hey Guilhem

What were your CMake version?
Did you find a solution? Compilation on Win should not be problematic, do not hesitate to get in touch with us for more support

Best.

Hey @hugtalbot,

Thank you very much for your answers. My CMake version is 3.25.0.
I could not rework on the issue yet but I will have a look on the thread you shared and let you know if it helps as soon as I can.
For now I installed SOFA with the binaries on my Windows machine.

Again thank you for your help,

Best regards

[hugtalbot]

Yeah definitely, keep us posted @GFMicroPort ;)
