I have installed version 1.1.

When I try to compile the example/basics, library CADMesh.hh is not found. I get:

I have tried to follow the entry "Have the example/s compile when the library is compiled, and provide a template project" where changes in the CMakeList.txt are suggested. It did not work. If I try to include CADMesh.hh by hand in the include folder, other libraries are missing...

Thanks in advance for your help!

I had the same issue and what finally helped was not using a separate installation directory during the initial setup. In other words, during the installation I skipped the optional installation path. Instead of using
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=<optional install location>
make
sudo make install
I simply used
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

Hi,

I'm having a very similar problem.

I tried using cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH= to specify the installation location but it kept building in the build directory anyway. For example

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/local1/geant4/work/CAD

yields

-- Build files have been written to: /home/local1/geant4/work/CAD/CADMesh-1.1/build

When I then try to tell the example build to look here

cmake .. -Dcadmesh_DIR:PATH=/home/local1/geant4/work/CAD/CADMesh-1.1/build/

I get

-- Build files have been written to: /home/local1/geant4/work/CAD/CADMesh-1.1/examples/basic/build

If I then make, I get the very same problem the open posters gets.

Any ideas?

If no path is specified, in my case it was installed in /usr/local. To find CADMesh.hh I had to do:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

Another possibility that also works for me is to create a CADMeshInstall folder and indicate it:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/..../CADMesh-1.1/CADMeshInstall

And then:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/.../CADMesh-1.1/CADMeshInstall/lib

I ran into the same problem when I tried the example.

CMake issues the warning:

CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

cadmesh_DIR

because cadmesh isn't being used.

Go to the CMakeLists.txt file under examples/basic and uncomment the lines 10 and 11:

find_package(cadmesh)
include_directories(${CADMESH_INCLUDE_DIRS})

I also found I had a linking error with line 20 so I commented out line 20 and uncommented line 21:

#target_link_libraries(cadmesh_example cadmesh)
target_link_libraries(cadmesh_example ${cadmesh_LIBRARIES})

This last part could be OS-specific (I'm on a mac).

I've done something similar with a few CADMesh-using programmes.

See here: KevinCWLi/K600-ALBA#2 and here: KevinCWLi/K600#3 for details.

Hi,

Thanks for all the feedback, I was able to get a little further but I've ran into another error.

Inside the basic example (/home/local1/geant4/work/CAD/CADMesh-1.1/examples/basic/build).

I cmake .. and then I make,

localhost:/build < 20 >make
Scanning dependencies of target cadmesh_example

./cadmesh_example: error while loading shared libraries: libcadmesh.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I the executable exists but it throws up that error.

I can see libcadmesh.so in /home/local1/geant4/work/CAD/CADMesh-1.1/build

Thanks again.

padsley commented

This likely means that the library paths haven't been set. Now, I think that if you've got the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable being exported in your .bashrc then it should probably find the library file.

However, in one of my replies above - and the reply from @bxyzhu - we noted that there are some problems with linking libraries sometimes. I think (with no particularly strong evidence...) that this may be the problem in the current case.

Check that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory which you've given above (post the output of export $LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you want us to check) and if it doesn't, add export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/local1/geant4/work/CAD/CADMesh-1.1/build to your .bashrc.

If that doesn't work, do what @bxyzhu suggests in his answer. If that doesn't work then maybe try what I suggested in the two issues that I posted. If that doesn't work then... uh... we'll think of something.

Hi guys,

I followed your advice padsley, I tried

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/local1/geant4/work/CAD/CADMesh-1.1/build

but go this error

Bad : modifier in $ (/).

So they I tried

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:"/home/local1/geant4/work/CAD/CADMesh-1.1/build"

And I got no errors. So I tried the executable and I think it worked.

Cheers guys.

padsley commented

I'm glad that it worked. Sorry about the export vs setenv thing, I didn't ask what kind of shell you had. Oops.

If you're happy and you think that everything is fixed then maybe close the issue? Then at least the guy running CADMesh knows that the problem is fixed.

deanrusby commented

I've been able to run .ply files in Geant4, so yes, the issue is sorted and thank you a lot.

Just as a point I ran into. If you run a weird structure, you can get transport errors.

I put this in my stepping action to stop them from appearing in my output.

G4TransportationManager::GetTransportationManager()->GetNavigatorForTracking()->SetPushVerbosity(0);}

Hi. I'm having the same (or a similar) problem.

I have installed cadmesh to the usual /usr/local/lib. Installation goes okay, but I get the warning:

CMake Warning (dev):
  Policy CMP0042 is not set: MACOSX_RPATH is enabled by default.  Run "cmake
  --help-policy CMP0042" for policy details.  Use the cmake_policy command to
  set the policy and suppress this warning.

  MACOSX_RPATH is not specified for the following targets:

   tet

This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

I get this for assimp, cadmesh, and tet.

After installation, I attempt to build the example (or any other thing depending on cadmesh) and I get:

[100%] Linking CXX executable cadmesh_example
ld: library not found for -lcadmesh
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [cadmesh_example] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/cadmesh_example.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have manually added cadmesh to my environment variables and tried the solutions in this thread, but have nothing yet.

Running out of ideas...

bxyzhu commented

I think I had a similar problem regarding MACOSX_RPATH, I'd try to fix the RPATH warning first.

Following: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31561309/cmake-warnings-under-os-x-macosx-rpath-is-not-specified-for-the-following-targe

I added the line set(CMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH 1) into CMakesList.txt (I added it after project(cadmesh)) and it seemed to resolve the issue.

Hi. I'm having the same (or a similar) problem.
cmake successfully, but make error:

and the Environmental variable has been written to .bashrc
i tried to change my cmakelist.txt as above, i got warning. the error didnt change.

hi, guys. i fixed my problem. i tried methods as above, didnt work. i installed once again, did not specify the install location. finally ,it worked.
besides, i specified the location , then i found the include ,lib dictionary were locked. maybe it's the reason?

thanks a lot. i reinstall the package using default install location(usr /local) .then no more errors.

I concur with this solution. It worked for me (on Ubuntu 18.04) and it's in my opinion the simplest solution.
