Is there a tutorial video to help beginner to bulid SOFA in macOS

[Junang-Wang]

Hi, I am a beginner with SOFA. I've found it more challenging and less informations from homepages to implement SOFA on macOS compared to Linux and Windows. Can anyone recommend a step-by-step tutorial for building SOFA? Thank you in advance!

Hi @Junang-Wang

There is indeed no tutorial video for this but a dedicated documentation page is available : Build on MacOS
Hope this helps

PS: if you face any issue, do not hesitate to post it in a dedicated topic thread

Hi @hugtalbot,
Thanks for your reply. I can not find the plugin "Stlib" and "Cosserat", "softrobot" in the cmake? Any ideas?

where did you download SOFA from ?

Hi, Hugo I download from the Sofa github homepage. Is that possible a path issue problem?

OK @Junang-Wang
These are actually external plugins. If you want to use them along with a source version of SOFA, you should compile them as well. The two ways are described here (1- in-tree or 2- out-of-tree): https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/plugins/build-a-plugin-from-sources/

Hope this helps
