Issues building utility since update about msh2exo HOT 3 CLOSED

This is from the gmsh SDK but it isn't linking correctly.

Configure with CMake option -DENABLE_GMSH=OFF to just use the builtin gmsh reader which you probably were doing before.

For linking with the SDK you have to follow the two ren rename commands from the SDK readme:

    C:\gmsh-git-Windows64-sdk> ren include\gmsh.h gmsh.h_original
    C:\gmsh-git-Windows64-sdk> ren include\gmsh.h_cwrap gmsh.h
    C:\gmsh-git-Windows64-sdk> cl /Iinclude share\doc\gmsh\tutorials\c++\t1.cpp lib\gmsh.lib
    C:\gmsh-git-Windows64-sdk> cd lib
    C:\gmsh-git-Windows64-sdk\lib> ..\t1.exe

The first two commands above.

I've added another update to find the correct Gmsh version and allow linking against the Windows SDK.

I was able to link and run with the following after those two rename commands:

cmake .. -DSEACASExodus_DIR=C:\src\seacas\install\lib\cmake\SEACASExodus -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\src\msh2exo\install -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DGmsh_DIR=C:\gmsh-4.10.5-Windows64-sdk\ -DGmsh_LIBRARIES="C:\gmsh-4.10.5-Windows64-sdk\lib\gmsh.lib" -DENABLE_GMSH=ON -DGmsh_INCLUDE_DIRS=C:\gmsh-4.10.5-Windows64-sdk\include\

If you do compile with the SDK you have to pass -b or --builtin to use the builtin reader otherwise it will use the Gmsh SDK to read Gmsh files, I'm not sure which is more robust at the moment in regards to conversion.

Installing with -DENABLE_GMSH=OFF was successful. Also, the updates you made to grouping multiple surfaces into a physical surface worked. Thanks again!

This issue can be closed.

Thanks, good to hear both things worked.
