ERROR: CMake for Bullet Physics failed

[franciscocarreno]

Running bin/build.sh I got error:
ERROR: CMake for Bullet Physics failed

Previously I finished setup.sh successfully after corrections (issue #217)
CMakeOutPut.log: https://pastebin.com/8XkNvDvH
Command line error:
build_log_francisco_20170717.txt

Please help

That error may be caused by missing dependencies.

Take a look at the INSTALL file in the root of the Github repo, and install
any missing dependencies. Once you have all deps installed you should nuke
your existing NTRTsim install and compile a new version from scratch.

Let me know if that does/doesn't resolve your problems (or this specific
error, at the very least).

[franciscocarreno]

I installed all dependencies, erase env and build, run again setup.sh, and build.sh
I finished all with no error messages. I guess it's installed now. (see log attached)

I'm following the tutorial now. I'm trying to use YAML. When I run BuildModel nothing happens. I also tried "build/yamlbuilder/BuildModel resources/YAMLStructures/BaseStructures/3Prism.yaml" and got
message 'YAML::BadFile' (see log attached)

YAML 20170718 fran 1.txt
Build 20170718 fran 1.txt

[PerryBhandal]

While running the build does compile all simulator applications, you'll still need to explicitly run an application -- many are included in NTRT. For instance, if you want to run 3prism-serialize you would navigate to build/examples/3_prism_serialize and run AppPrismModel.

[franciscocarreno]

I see. I tried the examples. They run no problem. How can I build my own structures? Which tutorial could I follow?

[PerryBhandal]

See the repo README. Many details and links there.

Francisco, Check out the video tutorial in the README file. It shows you how to use YAML files as well as traditional tgModel applications. Welcome to NTRT! Drew

[franciscocarreno]

thank you guys!

[franciscocarreno]

So sorry to bother you guys again…

I tried "git pull" to download the examples and I get this:

francisco@ubuntu:~/Documents/NTRTsim-master$ git pull
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I also tried this:

francisco@ubuntu:~/Documents/NTRTsim-master$ git checkout NTRT_Intro
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I then try gitinit

francisco@ubuntu:/Documents/NTRTsim-master$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/francisco/Documents/NTRTsim-master/.git/
francisco@ubuntu:/Documents/NTRTsim-master$ git pull
fatal: No remote repository specified. Please, specify either a URL or a
remote name from which new revisions should be fetched.

I'm not sure which URL is asking me for. Please help!

If you downloaded the zip I linked earlier and extracted it somewhere it just includes the master branch, but not the settings for the specific git repository you pulled it from. For git pull to work you would have needed to clone the repository, rather than downloading it as a zip.

If the specifics above aren't something you're familiar with, don't worry about it. I believe that for everything you'll want to do you can simply ignore any git commands.

(I'm 99% certain that after sending this e-mail an example from the tutorials will come up where the above rule is incorrect. Fortunately I can blame that on Drew.)

[apsabelhaus]

Hey Perry/Francisco, Francisco, it would be a good idea to get familiar with git before using NTRT. The branches are important. Maybe try a git tutorial, and create an example repository for yourself, and get familiar with clone/push/pull. You'll need to clone the repository, or use one of the pre-built virtual machines, in order to switch to the NTRT_Intro branch. As discussed in the video, you need to install the simulator (implication: clone or use the virtual machine) before switching to the NTRT_Intro and following the video. Downloading a .zip file does not contain all the branches, so you won't be able to switch to the NTRT_Intro branch inside the zip file. You'd have to download a separate zip for the other branch. But since you'll be using both, it's best to just clone and not have to deal with two installations. To sum up: your error message at this point is not about NTRT. It's about using git. There are many other resources online to help with that. I'll help on this list for NTRT-specific problems, if you encounter any. Good luck, Drew

I found some instructions on how to clone the repository.
https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/
Actually for the first exercise in the video I need to download some examples with git pull.
I'll try to do this by tomorrow so I'm able follow the NTRT Introduction Seminar video.

I was getting a similar error, and afterinstalling the dependencies and running setup.sh, the part where boost is doesnt progress. the timer keeps ticking along. Also Perry, your website where the virtual machine is also down.

[PerryBhandal]

Hi Zain,
I should have posted about the site being down.

I'm moving the server to a new DC. Unfortunately it won't be back up until the 29th at the earliest.

Perry
