[solved] Compilation of FreeCADGui fails because of 3Dconnexion

[uwestoehr]

I cannot compile the project FreeCADGui because of missing 3Dconnexion files in the source code. I checked out today's git master and get this:

Code: Select all

1>------ Build started: Project: FreeCADGui, Configuration: Release x64 ------

How can this be fixed?

I have no idea about compilation under windows, but under linux there is a switch to turn off 3DConnexion. With linux I'd ask you:
- did you try clean directory compilation?
- did you try compilation with default options?
- what do you run to start the compilation?
- do you see the files in the source code directory?

I don't know if it's any good for a windows user? Some potentially useful info:

Concerning the building, I can answer all your questions with Yes.

I see there now that there is an option in CMake to switch off 3DConnexion. Many thanks for the hint.

The 3dConnexion files are part of the repository and independent of the CMake switch it should build without errors.

How does the end of this file look like? Is it possible that with your source files something is wrong? Or is it possible that you have any hardware issues such as a dying HDD?
