CAM module status

[quick61]

It take about 2 hours for having the error message at 85%...
Perhaps I have a too old laptop (compaq nx7000 / 512Mo RAM / Lubuntu 12.04) or not enough memory...
I need to make test on a newer computer...
Is that someone compiles an equivalent computer?

Without seeing the error message it's impossible to say. However, your long compile times are due to the fact you are only building on a slow, 32 bit, single core, mobile CPU. And here I thought I was behind the times with a core2 duo.

Compiling FreeCAD from scratch used to take at least 45 minutes with one core on my 2007 AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ 3GHz desktop.

On such an old and low-powered laptop, I'm not surprised it'd take more than 2 hours. I would say it may be beneficial to upgrade your memory to 1GB, on the other hand I have no idea how much it would cost or if finding the right memory type would be easy.

I have some old laptops with similar CPUs but more memory (1 GB)...it took something like 2 hours to compile, it was very slow, I gave up on them about a year ago or so, they will also have a really old GPU which at least in my case caused some issues with FreeCAD.

From memory my old 2.8GHz Pentium 4 desktop compiled a lot faster than those laptops.

Good morning to everyone,

Tonight, I remade some tests but I still have the same error:
When I do:

pierre@compaq-nx7000:~/GitHub/FreeCAD_sf_master$ cmake -DFREECAD_BUILD_DEBIAN=ON -DFREECAD_BUILD_CAM=ON
pierre@compaq-nx7000:~/GitHub/FreeCAD_sf_master$ make

Give me the error:

If I look, I can't find the file LinuxCNC.cpp.o

and

find ./ -iname LinuxCNC.cpp.o

give me nothing...

Anyone know where does this file, thanks.

Hi,

I did some further testing, and I always get a compiler error on LinuxCNC.cpp file on the CAM2 module. And this with nightly or redesign branch. Moreover it seems that it is out of date repository with only 2 commit in the last 6 months ...
Maybe I'm wasting my time trying something that does not work?

Furthermore, I can compile without problem the repository http://git.code.sf.net/p/free-cad/code on master branch but without CAM module. Maybe there is a newest repository for the CAM module?
Thank you ...

The cam workbench never got beyond the work-in - progress stage. Ideas were being explored but it was never usable. Even if you can get it to compile, I still think you're wasting your time. The new path module is a much more promising direction.

Check the thread in the developers corner.

[prrvchr]

apparently this is here ...

https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/FreeCA ... ath-module

you can see this topic:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8622

Since this quickly became about compiling the CAM module branch, I split prrvchr's initial post onward from the CAM module status topic into a new separate topic.

Good but off topic, that does not save my time ... and maintains the confusion...

Edit: tks Sliptonic, I just see your post... I make a compile... I can try soon...

[NormandC]

2 pages of attempts to compile had no place in the original topic. It's not my problem if you don't read the forum's other topics.

[prrvchr]

Hi Normandc,

It may be preferable for people who are interested in CAM to know where it goes.
I pay a beer to those who manage to compile the redesign branch...

But hey, maybe it's just me?
