Ok, I got it now, build OK, but the Path Workbench when activated, gives me a "Workbench failure" pop up dialog with a message "No module named PathScripts". Is this current expected behavior from the branch?

You have to "make install". It will install FreeCAD into what ever directory is set as CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. I'm not sure why that route was chosen. I almost never install when I build a project. That caused me a bit of grief a week or so ago.

Ah, OK, so it is currently broken then. ;) Wonder why? Is their a specific reason for it needing to be installed? Yea, I never install development builds my own self. I only have Release (14.3705) installed.

Sorry people, all this is not ready yet. You'll have to wait a bit more for something without bugs...

No worries Yorik, at least I now have all the problems and questions worked out on my end for the moment. Like everything else FreeCAD, I know it will be ready when it's ready and not a moment sooner. Just wanting to make sure I was up to speed and "ready" for it to be ready. :)

Thank's for all the effort you guys have put into this.

I'm interested in having a look at the path module however when i try to clone the git repo i get this:

git clone https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/FreeCAD.git

is this an issue with the git repo?

Yorik,

Brilliant work with the path module, this is very exciting indeed.

Are you ready for testing and bug reports?

Thanks,

Dan

Yes and no actually :) Yes because it's always good to be aware of the ugs, and no because the "end user" tools are still being developed, and so reporting bugs on them is a bit useless, because they will still evolve a lot. We are also not using the freecad bug tracker (will do it once the path module is merged). Everything currently happens on github. If you want to put bug reports there, go ahead, but ideally it's better to wait for a more stable level.

The best way might be to join #freecad channel on IRC and chat with sliptonic, danielfalck and me...
