i have a custom SOP_node. in it I create a GU_PrimTetra in the SOP's cookMySop function.


HDK_Sample::GU_PrimTetra *tet = HDK_Sample::GU_PrimTetra::build(gdp, false);

do i need to link?

/home/user/project/GU_PrimTetra.o

when i don't link GU_PrimTetra.o i can see and load the sop_stuff node in houdini. it then crashes houdini and says.


Houdini DSO error on ‘/home/user/houdini12.5/dso/SOP_stuff.so’
undefined symbol


when i link GU_PrimTetra.o i can't see sop_stuff as a node i can use (for example when i tab and see the list of all nodes, it's not listed)

basically i would like to create and use the GU_PrimTetra object i created (tet) in a sop node.

Set an environment variable named HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR

See http://www.sidefx.com/docs/hdk13.0/hdk_intro_debugging.html [sidefx.com] at the very end…

it has been on. that houdini dso error must be the output you are talking about.

It should print information why the node does not show up in the menu when you link GU_PrimTetra.o. So run Houdini in a shell (with HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR set) and see what it prints out at startup.

yah, it says that it can't find GU_PrimTetra and then crashes houdini

Houdini DSO error on ‘/home/user/houdini12.5/dso/SOP_stuff.so’
undefined symbol HDK_SampleGU_PrimTetra build GU_Detail

am i going about this the right way?

am i even supposed to be linking GU_PrimTetra?

I guess if you are using GU_PrimTetra you also have to link it. But is that the error message you get when you link it, or if you don't? I thought the node doesn't show up in the menu if you don't link GU_PrimTetra…
