What is the system requriments for Freecad?

Thanks for the response. I checked out your link and tried to find an opengl driver. Downloaded the AMD Catalyst program which didn't do anything but load some strange utilities. Still getting the same DEP error.
Where can I find an opengl driver that works. It's very confusing.
I suppose I can keep trying.
Tried dropping opengl.dll into .bin but no joy.

Thanks again

Surprise, FreeCAD is available in the standard Raspbian repositories. Unfortunately, I have no real hardware to test FreeCAD.


The image shows FreeCAD running on the Qemu-ARM emulator.
Raspbian on Qemu install guide: http://www.linux-mitterteich.de/fileadm ... p_2013.pdf
To install FreeCAD:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install freecad

To install software rasterizer (hardware OpenGL is not available on Qemu):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-swx11

The FreeCAD package is pretty old, because of Debian Wheezy release - upgrading to Jessie now...

root@pi:~# apt-cache show freecad|head -n 3
Package: freecad
Version: 0.12.5284-dfsg-7
Architecture: armhf

I have real hardware. But it's still a pity. Either use the outdated 0.12, or set up a cross compile environment or wait three days an ruin a swap drive, by compiling on the real hardware.

Well, the biggest problem on the real hardware is lack of "desktop" OpenGL 2.0 implementation. VideoCore IV documentation has been released a while ago, maybe is it possible to write such implementation? Who knows... Freedreno team did it for Adreno.

Makes me wonder about how it would run on a Allwinner chipset with that MALI400 GPU stuff
