Hi Michel,
MITK and SOFA have some common third-party dependencies. We try to build these only once and use them in both MITK and SOFA, but that doesn't work for all libraries. In case of Eigen, our version of SOFA (which is from the beginning of 2015 btw), uses its own, already packaged, header-only Eigen. So if I remember correctly, it isn't a trivial task to inject your own Eigen to SOFA through the MITK-superbuild. However, building SOFA with MITK is supposed to be as easy as any other feature of MITK, which is why it should work out of the box by simply switching on MITK_USE_SOFA. This is tested by our dart clients and works for Windows (MSVC), Linux, and OS X. As Sascha said, switching on MITK_USE_SOFA will automatically switch on common dependencies like the necessary Boost libraries. Hence, for the beginning, I highly recommend not to put extra work in fiddling around with external toolkits. In fact, the only manual steps necessary should be to set the right Qt path if it wasn't detecte d automatically, switch on MITK_USE_SOFA, run the superbuild, and after it's finished, go one level down to the actual MITK build and switch on the org.mitk.gui.qt.simulation plugin in CMake. Please note, that MITK 2016.03 doesn't support MSVC 2012 anymore, so you should use MITK 2015.05.2 instead, if you don't do so already. Regarding the CMake output: If you're using CMake GUI, just copy the error message from its output window. If you use command line CMake, you can either copy the error from the terminal or in general just look for the files CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log in the build directory. I'm happy to help you with MITK+SOFA. Please don't hesitate to ask. Best, Stefan ________________________________ Von: Audette, Michel A. <maude...@odu.edu> Gesendet: Freitag, 30.

I've seen that before trying to compile Sofa standalone on Windows. I will try with separate Eigen build as well and report back. For my future use, when you say CMake output, where do I look for this file? Is it a log file of some kind?

E.g. if MITK_USE_SOFA is on, it adds the system, thread and chrono library. If you send us the full cmake output, it is easier to tell what is going on and which dependency requires data_time and atomic. However, you can manually append required libraries in the MITK_USE_Boos_LIBRARIES cmake variable (e.g. using the CMake GUI). It would look like "date_time;atomic", but I am wondering why this is needed at all.
