Could not find a package configuration file provided by "CoppeliaSim" (requested version 4.1.0.0) with any of the following names

I am trying to compiling the libPlugin, but the error is as follow:

Can you give me a hand?

You need to set COPPELIASIM_ROOT_DIR environment variable to point to the CoppeliaSim directory that contains the programming folder.

[zhangm365]

As above set, the error is same.

If you read my comment more carefully you'll find out it's another variable I told you to set. Note the fact it's an environment variable, not a CMake variable. And the correct value would be C:/Program Files/CoppeliaRobotics/CoppeliaSimEdu. Also, remember to clear the CMake cache between one run and another.

Probably the most convenient thing to do is set it globally as explained here: https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/machine-learning/oml4r/1.5.1/oread/creating-and-modifying-environment-variables-on-windows.html#GUID-DD6F9982-60D5-48F6-8270-A27EC53807D0

OK, Thanks a lot.

Now, the Boost is installed and set the environment variable, but the error is as follow:

[fferri]

Boost missing?

[zhangm365]

The Boost is installed, but the error occurs.

[fferri]

Clearly Boost cannot be found. Depending on how you installed Boost you need to set some CMake variables.

ok, I solved the error. Thanks a lot.

Besides, what is the difference between this repos and the simExtPluginSkeleton?

[Coppelia]

simExtPluginSkeleton is a plugin skeleton that is using an older way to interface with CoppeliaSim. It is less flexible, but can be a bit easier to understand and use for plugins with little API functions

Please ask in the CoppeliaSim forum

ok, Thanks a lot
