Utility to inspect OpenCascade models

[tanderson69]

... As for Tcl/Tk, Tk is not required but Tcl is needed because there's an embedded Tcl console which makes much sense for rapid prototyping.

My question/comment was more: "I was surprised you are manually building and installing tcl instead of just installing from the repo with 'apt', because I have used every version of opencascade for the last 10 years and have always used the repo for tcl/tk installation."

[tanderson69]

Finally some results on debian bullseye. I compiled and installed occt and vtk. Everything else was from 'apt'. I had to swear a lot at vtk. No version seem to 'just work' with 'make & make install'. I won't tell how much time I put into this

Congratulations.

P.S. But now you will likely have to share build instructions.

would you please help me to go further?

Maurice, I have tried to configure in a command line as you did. Given that all 3-parties are compiled, I ended up with the following scenario:

Code: Select all

git clone https://gitlab.com/ssv/AnalysisSitus.git asitus-src
cd asitus-src
mkdir build
cd ./build
cmake -D3RDPARTY_DIR=/usr/lib/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_active_data_DIR=/home/ssv/work/active-data-install/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_active_data_LIBRARY_DIR=/home/ssv/work/active-data-install/lib/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_EIGEN_DIR=/home/ssv/work/eigen-3.3.7/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_vtk_DIR=/home/ssv/work/vtk-install/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_vtk_LIBRARY_DIR=/home/ssv/work/vtk-install/lib/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_OCCT_DIR=/home/ssv/work/occt-install/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_OCCT_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/ssv/work/occt-install/include/opencascade/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_OCCT_LIBRARY_DIR=/home/ssv/work/occt-install/lib/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_tcl_DIR=/home/ssv/work/tcl-8.6-install/ ../
cmake -D3RDPARTY_tcl_LIBRARY_DIR=/home/ssv/work/tcl-8.6-install/lib/ ../
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../
cmake -DINSTALL_DIR=/home/ssv/work/asitus-install/ ../
make
make install

I have VTK, Eigen, Tcl, OpenCascade and ActiveData all installed in my custom directory /home/ssv/work. You will also need to compile Active Data which is the OCAF-based framework for Data Model design. I will try making it compile automatically in the future (as a git submodule).

To run application, use asiExe.sh script in the installation directory.

Congratulations.

P.S. But now you will likely have to share build instructions.

debian bullseye:
occt7.4 from source to default location /usr/local
vtk8.2 from source to default location /usr/local
all other dependencies installed with 'apt install'

Code: Select all

git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/blobfish/AnalysisSitus.git
cd AnalysisSitus
mkdir -p build/release 
cd build/release
meson --buildtype=release ../..
ninja
sudo ninja install

//run program
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
asiExe

//uninstall 
sudo ninja uninstall

Thanks, will try it out.

P.S. For the very first quick attempt, meson was to old, fixed with PIP install, Qt was to old ... i guess for starters i need a newer Linux distro.

The meson version is important, but the others are probably not. edit the meson.build file and change to match your installed version and give it a shot.

IMHO: Have you tried meson build? In any situation that I can, I have replaced cmake with meson and been a lot happier!

Out of curiosity what are the issues you have with cmake and what's better with meson?

It doesn't work with Qt5.9.5

This has nothing to do with Qt. It has to do with meson and occt. You need Meson >= 0.51. Meson should have failed or at least warned you before that. The good news is, meson is a python script so you can just clone the github repo and run it from there.
