Impossible to launch ReadFramework

[aimelle]

Hello,

Perhaps I am not understanding something very simple or fundamental about what READ is, but here is my issue : I installed READ, both from the READ and ReadFramework repositories, hoping that somehow it would change something, using the cmake and make commands, and the executables were created, but nothing happens neither when I double-click on them nor when I try to launch them with a right-click.
And when I try to launch ReadFramework from a command line, this is what I'm getting :

What am I doing / did I do wrong ?

Thank you !

Hi Aimelle,

it depends on what you want to do. ReadFramework is the core dll of the modules developed within the READ project at the TU Wien. This project has a rudimentary CMD interface (mainly for debugging). You get more info about its functionality if you type ReadFramework --help. Together with the nomacs repo and the ReadModules repo, you can build a UI for batch processing etc.

best,
markus

Thank you ! Everything makes much more sense now. (I'm looking to test out the table matching tool, so now I'm going to build a UI I suppose.)

you can do that (if you like to further develop/debug ReadFramework). In case you have a windows machine nearby, you could download the latest installer.

Me again —
Not having a windows machine that I could use, I followed the instructions in the readme that's in the ReadModules repository, and everything went well up until I actually launched nomacs and it ran into "undefined symbol" errors which prevented it from loading the plugins — even when I try to use the READ modules plugins, it crashes and tells me there's an undefined symbol error again.

(it looks like this)

After a bit of googling I thought it might be an issue coming from cmake and something to do with running paths — but I have no idea whether that's true or not, and to be honest the only programming language I sort-of know is Python so I'm a bit lost when I try looking at cmake files.
Would you perhaps know where this issue is coming from ?
Thank you (and apologies for my amateurism)

Hi,
we finally found the error. I pushed a change in the cmake file. You have to run cmake for ReadFramework and ReadModule again before compiling. Then nomacs should be able to run the plugins.
