Can't find poco - building plugin for Maya 2022

[mini-Niark]

Hi,

I'm trying to build MeshSyncDCC plugin for Maya 2022 on windows but i'm blocked at this command line :

make_meshsync_dcc_plugin.bat MeshSync-0.9.0-preview -DBUILD_MAYA_2022_PLUGIN=ON

It gives me the following message :

Apparently, it can't find poco, even if Poco_DIR is in my path.

If you have any idea what I might have done wrong, that would be very helpfull. I have been stuck on this for a long time.

Thanks a lot

Have you built Poco ?
Please refer to the building plugins page

Thanks for the quick answer.

I built poco without any error message. I have some warning but they were about variables type changes and a command line without argument ( poco kept building after those warnings).

I have some warning but they were about variables type changes and a command line without argument

It seems that it's safe to ignore those warnings then ?
How did it go ? Did you manage to build the plugin ?

Hi,
Still not working (I already had built poco when I sent the first message).

[sindharta]

The build script is looking for Poco library files, such as

• PocoFoundationmd.lib
• PocoUtilmd.lib
  etc

Do you have these files after building Poco ?

For debugging, perhaps you can take a look at
MeshSyncDCCPlugin\Plugins~\Build\cmake_modules\FindPoco.cmake
and put debug messages there to find out which file is missing.

Deleting CMakeCache.txt is also one thing to try, since it ensures that everything is rebuilt from scratch instead of using the previous build results.
