Not trying to make excuses but I just seem to lose track of updating the forum/my blog. Neither has been in common usage for me before this project. Mostly my communication and updates have been direct to my mentors. All CMake objectives have been completed. PowerShell development is going well and ...

Howdy! I have been in communication with my mentors about my current Libpack project. I have had a few meetings (with one in-person with kkremitzki) discussing the libpack project I will be working on. However, the first thing is to finalize my CMakeLists.txt changes. Previously I had switched the b...

I should have the write up complete soon.

I have finished my changes to the CMakeLists.txt file. It will now only copy the necessary files from the Libpack and set a path for FreeCAD to know where to find the compressed python archive. More details available in my blog.

I have finished making the changes. I was able to configure/generate/build on my Windows 10 machine with VS17. I will have kkremitzki and sgrogan review my work.

I propose that we add the minimal python archive to Libpack 12.1.2 and modify the FREECAD_COPY_LIBPACK_BIN_TO_BUILD CMake flag to FREECAD_COPY_LIBPACK_DEPENDS_TO_BUILD. The process of copying would be modified to only copy the two Qt files mentioned and to generate an appropriate batch file. Go for...

Howdy! I have finished the procedure for submitting my bug fixes as a patch for the Debian packaging of FreeCAD. The bugs can be found here and here . In the mean time I've been working with sgrogan on the Windows configuration. We found some improvements that could be made to the Libpack and a summ...

Howdy all! As part of my GSoC project I've been building on Windows regularly. sgrogan has been helping me greatly and he came across a post in this topic: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=299010#p299010 . wmayer described a method of using a batch file in order to add the Libpack direct...

It does not. However, checking the FREECAD_COPY_LIBPACK_BIN_TO_BUILD option in CMake causes FreeCAD run normally.
