SOFA on M1 macbook error using ninja

[VeronicaG24]

Dear Support Team,
I am writing to ask for help with an issue I had while trying to build a project using Ninja.

I am currently trying to install SOFA on a Macbook with M1. However, during the build process, I encountered the following error:

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
[1589/2126] Building CXX object applic...eralVisual/initSofaGeneralVisual.cpp.o
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

This error has halted the build process, and I am unsure about the cause and how to resolve it. I have tried troubleshooting on my own, but unfortunately, I have not been able to find a solution.
Could you please provide guidance on how to address this issue? Any insights into the possible cause of the error or steps to resolve it would be greatly appreciated.

If you require any additional information or logs to assist with troubleshooting, please let me know, and I will be happy to provide them.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance.

Hello,

There should be no problem to compile SOFA a MacOS and M1.
A problem should have encountered before in the compilation process. Actually, clang is saying that the error occurred while linking, not compiling.
Can you copy-paste more lines from before the build error ? Even better, you can copy-paste all the build output in https://pastebin.com/

Hello, I attached the output of CMake and the output of "ninja". :arrow_right: https://pastebin.com/wgdSiYqn Thank you, Veronica

You did not copy pasted enough @VeronicaG24
Please use pastebin, as I did ☝️

I used pastebin. And I did the copy paste of cmake after clicking “configure” and “generate”. And on the terminal copy paste everything generated after the ` ninja -j10 ` command. I followed the instruction on this page: https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/getting-started/build/macos/ In particular the “generate the makefile with cmake”.I don’t understand what do you need. Sorry.Let me know. Thank you and sorry again,VeronicaIl giorno 22 feb 2024, alle ore 11:51, Hugo ***@***.***> ha scritto: You did not copy pasted enough @VeronicaG24 Please use pastebin, as I did ☝️ —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you were mentioned.Message ID: ***@***.***>

Yes but in the trubleshooting Cmake error, it says to
"add CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH with path /home/YOUR_USERNAME/Qt/QT_VERSION/COMPILER matching your Qt architecture.
Example: CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/bob/Qt/5.7/gcc_64"

In my case, the compiler should be clang_64 if I'm not wrong, but in ..../qt@5/5.15.12_1/ there is no compiler folder (any clang_64).

Shouldn't it be included in the Qt installation? When I followed the instructions, downloading Qt from the website, there was the clang_64 compiler inside the folder of qt.

could you try without this CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variable?
Since you installed it through brew it might find it straightaway. Could you test running CMake and reporting if there is any error please?

[VeronicaG24]

not working.
Here is the output: https://pastebin.com/dfjFWAXL

could you try specifying in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH : ..../qt@5/5.15.12_1
if this does not work, @fredroy would give you a solution I guess (but tomorrow since he's in Asia)

Now it's working! Thank you so much!
