IFC++ and FreeCad what is the realationship

Post by hhassey »

I just compiled IFC++ in Debian, and it went fine. I got a Sample IFC query little program.

In the build file there are some comments talking about FreeCAD

Code: Select all

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# be careful, FreeCAD might not run properly, see
# https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=40201
# ATM IFC++ runs without ... so it is deactivated
# printf '\n\nexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' >> /home/vagrant/.bashrc  # libcarve is not found
What is the relationship between this program and FreeCAD?

Years ago when this was added by me because most of the rare user of Ifc++ on Linux where user of Freecad too. Thus I added this hint.

There is no connection at all except, many people who use Freecad and ifc and are on Linux and compile Freecad do use IFC++ and thus have to compile IFC++.
