The FindXerces.cmake can also be modified in order to use the libxerces from the Debian repositories as: # if( NOT $ENV{XERCES_ROOT} STREQUAL "" ) # set(XERCES_ROOT "/opr/xercesc/") set(Xerces_INCLUDE_DIR "/usr/include") set(Xerces_LIBRARY_DEBUG "/usr/lib/x86_64-li...

Finally, I've reached to configure CC, but in a dirty way. I'll try to explain how I did: First, I commented some lines in E57Support.cmake in order to omit some checks and assume that the Xerces_INCLUDE_DIR exists: # Find Xerces # we use libE57 own Xerces find module set( CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_...

The part in E57Support.cmake about Xerces search is # Find Xerces # we use libE57 own Xerces find module set( CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/contrib/cmake/Modules/" ) set( Xerces_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON ) find_package( Xerces QUIET ) if ( NOT Xerces_FOUND ) set( XER...

I guess you'll have to find where this 'XERCES_ROOT' variable is defined and how it is used... I interpret the XERCES_ROOT option as for example the LIBE57_INSTALL_DIR, i.e., as the path to the xserces installation. For example, I've installed my libe57 in /opt/e57 and the configuration runs OK for...

I have already tried QHull but it was crashing too much. And we tried GTS without much success (moreover this library doesn't seem to be supported anymore). So we are patiently waiting ;) According to some people, GTS is mature for the needs of their developers: https://sourceforge.net/p/gts/mailma...

The method uses a 'RANSAC' algorithm. It's a random process (a certain number of points is picked several times and the best match is returned - the number of points and the number of trials is given by some magical statistics formula ;). This way the process is relatively robust to noise. I sugges...

Have you checked the 'advanced' checkbox? And typed 'Xerces' in the Search field? Thank you for your answer. I clicked now the advanced option and now I can see the Xerces_INCLUDE_DIR in the 'Ungrouped entries' group, but only this Xerces_INCLUDE_DIR and the XERCES_ROOT. Putting the correct path in...

Well, I understand the Debian reasons. The problem is the possible conflicts with the GPL. But, I agree, Triangle is the best Delaunay library ever. It's superfast. And it is not easy to find a replacement. A classical replacement could be QHULL, but it can't create constrained triangulations (I don...

Hello: I'm using CloudCompare 2.6.1 and I need to fix a cloud to a sphere using the Tools->Fit->Sphere option. If I apply the option several times to the same cloud, I obtain at each try a different solution (radius), so I can imagine that the option does not use all the points in the cloud (my clou...

In the CMake script/configuration of CloudCompare, you don't need to set the XERCES_ROOT variable but the ' Xerces_INCLUDE_DIR' and 'Xerces_LIBRARY_RELEASE' or 'Xerces_LIBRARY_DEBUG' instead (at least on Windows - and you may need to display the 'advanced' variables if you use CMake GUI). I guess o...
