Looks like that when your build launch make -j 2 the include file for Open Cascade into OCCFLAGS are not good /usr/include/opencascade while it should be /usr/local/include/opencascade. I don't know why it is doing that currently. It is not the case on vagrant. I will have a look to it further later...

Hi Saso,

These file are part of OCCT. Can you check that you have this directory into your build /usr/local/include/opencascade ? It should be there.

Hi Yorik, People are using Developper version or Released one ? What is the release frequency ? When is scheduled next released ? On which distro ? That is a chicken and egg issue, and it is really hard to make work both version at the same time. I am not saying that OCCT6 is not supported anymore, ...

Even if it looks like strange, I do not understand why we do not encourage to use new release of core software libraries that FreeCAD use. We are at the early stage of 0.17 development, migration will have impact on developpers only and this is part of our role to move forward, instead of maintainin...

Sorry my explanation was not really clear. New SMESH uses OCCT 7 which is using VTK for data representation and this is the feature we are trying to get, all of these piece of code includes bug fixes and feature enhancement. New OCCT version got rides of the following issues: - Based on CMake - Remo...

Hi wmayer, New SMESH uses VTK data representation for Mesh structure (like nodes coordinates), which means that we will have to fully get rid of this if we want to backport to OCCT6 which is not using such representation or partially. This will remove the benefit of moving to the new version of SMES...

The issue to make the patch smaller is that it will needs a huge amount of #define due to the fact that it is touching the OCCT library used in most module of FreeCAD. New OCCT requires some code adaptation (exactly like python 2 vs 3), which explain the size of the patch. I know it is a pain, it ha...

Hi,

@makkemal this is really really great, and what I need ! Hopefully we can bring this to master pretty soon I hope

Hi guys, We are progressing on testing the move to OCCT and new Salome code. Things are moving in the right direction and more and more users are able to recompile my branch and make it work. @sgrogan is currently testing windows integration and I am starting to have no doubts that it will works. Wh...
