Fail to compile Mesh Simplification Preprocessing (VCGlib)

[HeCraneChen]

Hi Jonas,

Thank you for the amazing work and the code!

I followed the installation step by step, everything went good, until when I ran the "make" for QUADRIC ERROR METRICS. I got the errors below. Seems like something wrong in the cpp file. Could you please have a look at that?

And to clearify, by "Add vcglib/apps/tridecimator and vcglib/apps/sample/trimesh_clustering to your environment path variable!", is this the right thing to do or not?

PATH=$PATH:vcglib/apps/tridecimator
PATH=$PATH:vcglib/apps/sample/trimesh_clustering

Appreciate your attention!

tridecimator.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
tridecimator.cpp:165:147: error: ‘dup_face’ was not declared in this scope

Hi HeCraneChen,

thank you a lot for your interest in our codebase.

Regarding adding the directories to the path variable:
In my .bashrc it looks as following:

export PATH=/home/user_name/vcglib/apps/tridecimator/:$PATH
export PATH=/home/user_name/vcglib/apps/sample/trimesh_clustering/:$PATH

I will look into the compilation error next week and come back to you as soon as possible.

Hi HeCraneChen,

I just checked the code of vcglib. As it turned out, I accidentally didn't push the latest version of the code to the public repository.
The issue should be fixed now. Hope the code will help you!

Best,
Jonas

As this issue seems unactive/solved to me, I will close it now.
Feel free to reopen it when you got further questions.

Best,
Jonas
