Hi, does that message prevents you from building the .h file ?

if it is just a warning and the header file is generated, you could safely ignore it.

Otherwise, you may want to search the internet, as this is a Perl-specific issue; for instance, here is a thread discussing it:

Thank You AlessandroB.......

Now it's Working....

Glad to help.

You need to use a tool that can convert a 3D model from OBJ file format (which is a popular format for 3D models) to a header file .h;

Hi, all, correct me if i'm wrong

maybe i have a missing point of understanding "how to convert obj to h"

1. putting all file together in one folder (including obj2opengl.pl file)

ex : C:\perl64\bin\

2. use cmd pointing to the file and call "obj2opengl.pl my_file.obj"

done..

but only notepad opened when i access obj2opengl.pl
and i followed all instruction from : https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/android/how-convert-obj-h

Please heelp me..

thanks,

Both these links work for me:

https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/android/how-convert-obj-h

http://heikobehrens.net/2009/08/27/obj2opengl/

I've tried this a few times now, it used to work for me but no longer is. Could this be a Perl version issue?

I have my obj in the same folder as the perl script but when I run it I just get the error attached

You can ignore that warning message;  the tool should still be able to produce the output file (I sometime get the same warning message, but the output .h file is generated).

Also, maybe try running the tool from its own directory (i.e. from the directory where you have installed the obj2opengl script), by copying your obj file into that directory.

If nothing works, maybe try resintalling Perl or contacting the author of the obj2opengl.pl script.

Thank you for help.

Using your advice I'm still getting the same warning and no .h file is being created. Checked around on the net and there isn't much around on this unfortunately

Hey there, i was having troubles with this yesterday and after some research i finally got it working

First you have to download perl and install it:

http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads

Then i created a folder in C: named "objtoh" where i put both the "obj2opengl.pl" and ".obj" file

so the adress of both files is C:\objtoh\, now all you have to do is open a cmd window and type:

(for my own example)

perl C:\objtoh\obj2opengl.pl C:\objtoh\heart.obj

replace the address and the ".obj" file name with what you have

The attachment shows how it looked for me on the cmd window.

That worked for me, i hope it helps.
