Yarp c# Binding in superbuild

[omareldardear]

Hello Everyone,

We were trying to compile the c# binding on Linux,
But there was no cmake flag for the c# , I only find python , Matlab, and Octave. But not Python.

Would you please consider adding a flag for the c# ?

This issue is connected to the open issue in Yarp as we are trying to have csharp binding work in both windows and linux.
robotology/yarp#2937

Hello @omareldardear ! We can look into adding such an option to the superbuild if it is used in a consistent way. If this is just for a one time experiment, you can also just enable it in YARP build directory:

cd robotology-superbuild/build/src/YARP
# enable the option you want to enable via ccmake . , then generate by pressing c several times, and then g
ccmake . 
# now the option is enabled, so unless the superbuild is overwriting it, you can go back and compile the superbuils as usual
cd ../..
cmake --build . --config Release

Hello @omareldardear, did you checked if the suggested workaround is working for your objectives?

Hello @traversaro
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, It worked. Actually, we did this workaround before opening the issue.
But a couple of members of our team will be using the c# bindings. So It will be great to consider the flag.

Thanks again

Ok! Which CMake options need to be enabled on the YARP side for enabling C# bindings?

[omareldardear]

@traversaro
CREATE_CSHARP
Which will appear after enabling YARP_COMPILE_BINDINGS

It is the same as Python or Octave (CREATE_PYTHON , CREATE_OCTAVE)
