[SOLEVED] Is it possible to extract Assimp from Urho3D?

I cannot build Assimp using CMake-GUI and MinGW (32 bit)

And I cannot choose in CMake-GUI what Importers to disable. But I built successfully Urho3D from source using CMake-GUI and MinGW (32 bit). I could disable a lot of importers. I want to try to use Assimp with OpenGL3 and GLSL. I want to understand how to use skeletal animation from scratch.

I found the same problem here: https://github.com/assimp/assimp/issues/2431

But I cannot find add_library(IrrXML ${IrrXML_SRCS}) in CMakeList.txt and I do not understand where to place this code:

IF(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME MATCHES "(Darwin|FreeBSD)")
  add_library(IrrXML ${IrrXML_SRCS})
ELSE()
  add_library(IrrXML STATIC ${IrrXML_SRCS})
 ENDIF()

It looks to me like the upstream project may have broken the mingw builds:

mind that Darwin|FreeBSD is Apple

As far as I know the tools are currently not working with this compiler.

But why was it possible to build Urho3D + Assimp with MinGW 32 bit? Maybe do not I need to include “tools” in build? I will try uncheck “tools”.

CMake-GUI shows what importers to include when I build Urho3D. What did you make with Assimp? How can I uncheck some importers when I build Assimp from source?

8Observer8

Maybe did I install wrong MinGW? I installed from this link: http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download/mingw-builds What is better or it is good?

Just to clarify, is this a separate Assimp based project you are working on? Are you using the version packaged with Urho? Are you using Urho’s build system?

I wanted to understand why building of Assimp with Urho3D is different. And why I can build Assimp with Urho3D but I cannot build Assimp 5.1.0 from official Assimp Repo. I now understand it. It is because Urho3D uses Assimp 4.1.0. But when I tried to build Assimp 4.1.0 I see the message errors below. All importers was disabled in CMake-GUI excepted OBJ - just for testing. libassimp.dll.a was created but I cannot find .dll

The 3MF importer was unchecked by me.

I solved the problem! The ASSIMP_BUILD_3MF_IMPORTER option must be enabled. MinGW32 works with Assimp 4.1.0. You can disable all Importers excepted ASSIMP_BUILD_3MF_IMPORTER. But I cannot build Assimp 5.1.0 with MinGW32 and I do not know how to disable importers in 5.1.0. It does not matter for me now. I glad that 4.1.0 works!
