Problem creating plugin "PluginInfo.h: No such file or directory"

[ghost]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with the install.

I have followed all the steps on the git up to building the plugin in using cmake. after running:

sudo cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

i went to run "make" still within the build directory and i got the following error:

usr/local/bin/open-ephys-gui/plugins/RPiCamera/Source/OpenEphysLib.cpp:24:10: fatal error: PluginInfo.h: No such file or directory 24 | #include | ^~~~~~ compilation terminated. make[2]: [CMakeFiles/RPiCamera.dir/build.make:63: CMakeFiles/RPiCamera.dir/Source/OpenEphysLib.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:76: CMakeFiles/RPiCamera.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:130: all] Error 2

I know i'm probably doing something dumb but i cant seem to fix the problem.

You might need to define the location of the plugin-GUI directory (which contains the header file). I added an example to the building instructions in the README file.

Thank you for getting back to me. I wont have time to get to this today but I will either post again or close ticket when I do. Thank you.

I am still having the same issue.

my open ephys is installed here I think: /usr/local/bin/open-ephys-gui

[arnefmeyer]

I don't think the deb install contains the header files. Try to install the plugin-GUI from source.

I have attempted to install open-ephys from source but that doesnt seem to work either. I have installed all the dependencies(ZeroMQ library, HDF5 library, ran the script in plugin-gui). but i get and error when i go to build the the plugin-gui. the cmake works fine but it errors out when I run make. I know this is not an issue with your plugin but rather my struggle to install from source but I have included the error below just in case its something simply im doing wrong. if not if you could point me in the direction of how to solve such and error it would be greatly appreciated,

[arnefmeyer]

Looks like the issue with JUCE and gcc/g++-9 described in the readme in the rpicamera repo (2nd command). Try adding -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-8 -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-8 to the cmake command (and make sure to remove the stuff that cmake produced before calling it again). gcc-8 and g++-8 can be installed via apt-get install gcc-8 g++-8.

That seems to have fix the make issue I was getting. However now I am getting yet another bug(i really cant seem to catch a break with this install). here is the output when i try to run the complied binary. I thought it was a problem with zmq but i went to check on it and it seems to be in order. I have also included 2 ss about the zmq on my computer as it might be whats causing the issue.

output:

Maybe the ZMQInterface.so file in the ~/.open-ephys/plugins folder is a relict of your binary install (potentially using a slightly older API). Try to 1) remove (or update) the plugin using the plugin installer GUI or 2) manually remove the file and update the "installedPlugins.xml" file in the plugins folder.
