How can I obtain SOFA DLL libraries ?

[hyxgo]

readme.md ：4，Copy the SOFA dll libraries inside: /UnrealEngine/myUE5Project\Plugins\SofaUE5-Renderer/Binaries/ThirdParty/SofaUE5Library/Win64/ (for windows)

I can't get it to work, whether I download it from the official Sofa website or use the Sofa Unity library. I checked, and the official Sofa library doesn't have SofaVerseAPI.dll. Using SofaUnity, I have SofaVerseAPI.dll but not SofaVerseAPI.lib. So how can I get this project running?

@hyxgo I am also new to this so I will tell you what I did to overcome this issue.

• Generate sofa binaries from source following the steps : https://sofa-framework.github.io/doc/getting-started/build/windows/#manual-installation-for-developpers. It is a bit tedious but eventually you'll get there.
• Switch to commit 3c7152b that uses SofaPhysicsAPI instead of SofaVerseAPI (I could not find it either).
• From the generated files you'll get SofaPhysicsAPI.dll to copy with other binaries to "myUE5Project/Plugins/SofaUE5-Renderer/Binaries/ThirdParty/SofaUE5Library/Win64" and SofaPhysicsAPI.lib to copy to "myUE5Project\Plugins\SofaUE5-Renderer\Source\ThirdParty\SofaUE5Library\x64\Release".
  I managed to launch the project on UE5.5 this way, but I still have runtime errors when launching demo maps.

@Pac0S Thank you very much. I've got my Unity project running. I discovered that both UE and Unity use SofaVerseAPI.dll, which is not open source. There may be many issues to resolve later.
