MacOS version 500 commits late?

[looo]

Hmm, it worked on my mini. Maybe caused by a external module...

[chrisb]

I have by a lucky coincidence an identical MacMini here. Alas, I have no powercable and have to tinker something (more or less dangerous) for the special plug. I will report back later.

Weekly dmg's can hopefully be offered soon. Building them on ci should be possible, we only need to figure out how to upload these builds in an automatic way.

first, can you clarify what you mean by 'automatic way?
do you need a method to update or do you need a hosting place to update to?

Ok I finally managed to compile FreeCAD from your first instructions (not tried the new ones). I first created a freecad environment then configured OSX to use the the MacOSX 10.9 SDKs: installation into /opt +conda_build_config.yaml. According to the errors in the build, the build system was still looking for the 10.9 SDKs in the XCode application (/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/), but as I am running 10.14, those SDKs don't exist by default. I created there a simlink in the application to /opt. Then I could compile.

I will try your new instructions to see if they work properly.

Question: why 10.9 SDKs? Is FreeCAD able to compile with 10.14 ones and if yes, where do I have to change the dependency?

Cheers

JMB

PS: I am interested to build the sources, because I am a software engineer and I am interested to see if I can help to improve FreeCAD.

For now I uploaded a dmg

I get (almost) the same error on the MacMini:

Hope this helps: the log file talks about cocoa missing.

Ok guys. Now that I was able to build FreeCAD with freecad-feedstock, I got those messages at the end:

Source and build intermediates have been left in /Users/jeanmarc/miniconda3/conda-bld.

Now the build results seem to be freecad-0.18b0-py36h4f6ecc2_41.tar.bz2. So I suppose I have to extract this archive to find FreeCAD. But now if I start developping, I want to use the build results directly and not beeing obliged to always use an archive.

So 2 questions:
1) how do you guys work when you compile from the sources and modify them?
2) I suppose conda-build is only meant for CI integration, correct? Then where can I find the FreeCAD binary before it is bundled?

By the way the content of archive doesn't work. Not even from the terminal, where the "brew" build worked fine. Still wondering how to make conda properly work on my Mac and build FreeCAD for OS X...

OK. So if I understand properly all I have to do is add the channel "conda-forge" and checkout the master branch from feedstock, right?

I modified the list:

1. setup your system: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD_Cond ... ild.md#osx # [optional if you want to use custom sdk, I would not reccomend]
2. install miniconda: https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
3. clone the freecad-feedstock: https://github.com/looooo/freecad-feedstock
3.a checkout conda-forge_master branch: cd freecad-feedstock && git checkout conda-forge_master
4. configure the conda-channels ( conda config --add channels conda-forge )
5. install conda-build ( conda install conda-build )
6. cd into the freecad-feedstock
7. call conda-build: conda build . -m .ci_support/osx_.yaml

What about creating a "freecad" environment. Is this still necessary?

conda-build (if succesful) will create a conda-package. For testing the package you have to create an environment. To test a local package you have to add "--use-local" to the "conda create" command.

small mistake at last step should be: conda build . -m .ci_support/osx_python3.7.yaml

I am still no comfortable with conda. Could you please explain what you mean with the create environment with the built package?

conda create freecad-test .... --use-local ....

Sorry for my stupid questions but I try to get on the train...

[looo]

Hope this helps: the log file talks about cocoa missing.

thanks for testing.

Maybe this is a problem with absolutepaths. Maybe the appimage-equivalent way of building the package doesn't work for the mac. I guess it's best to ask @peterl94 how he did his build.

Now the build results seem to be freecad-0.18b0-py36h4f6ecc2_41.tar.bz2. So I suppose I have to extract this archive to find FreeCAD. But now if I start developping, I want to use the build results directly and not beeing obliged to always use an archive.

You have to install it with conda. The archive only contains freecad, but not it's dependencies... To test it you need to create an environment.

There is no simple way to setup an interactive development environment with conda. I tried it with conda-build (and it also works) but you need a deeper understanding how conda works to do it right.

[looo]

small mistake at last step should be: conda build . -m .ci_support/osx_python3.7.yaml

you are right. This has changed recently.

I am still no comfortable with conda. Could you please explain what you mean with the create environment with the built package?

Please have a look at the basics of conda. I guess it's the best reference:
