Hi
Not actually Arch, but...
Trying to install / Compile ifc++ on linux, sadly I find the link
http://ifcplusplus.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ Build-instructions for Linux, seems to be broken.
Anybody able to help?

Regards

ifc++ is now on github: https://github.com/ifcquery/ifcplusplus
only the build instructions are outdated: https://github.com/ifcquery/ifcplusplus ... structions
the line: svn checkout http://ifcplusplus.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ifcplusplus
shoudl be: git clone https://github.com/ifcquery/ifcplusplus.git

I think Bernd built on debian and have some instructions for compiling on linux... can't find it ... ubuntu is debian?

Basically yes, Ubuntu is based on Debian Testing.

Regarding the packaging: this looks like a job for me! Should I go ahead and try to get IFC++ in via the Debian Science Team? They have a bit of a backlog for my work, but this looks like it would be a good reason to keep them busy.

I have only very minimal elementary understanding in compiling and tried compiling on Fedora27/26 based on Bernd's information / repo.

Maybe you can contribute to discussion at that thread https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... &start=150

Good to hear more people work on ifc++ and make that viewer work on every platform!?

You can download a binary of whatever version of cmake from https://cmake.org/download/
I put the file cmake-3.12.1-Linux-x86_64.sh, for instance, in my home folder, change the permissions, execute it, and I've got a new version of cmake available. Actually I've got a half dozen versions in my home folder.
When I want a version, go to the folder and /bin/cmake-gui, double click.

yep I have been maintaining a linux port for a few years now. Latest version is on my repo.

@kurt, that would be great. One smal problem on debian based systems. ATM openscenegraph is built against Qt4 thus one needs to build osg before building Ifc++ See hints in my repo.

@cadgiru

just try to edit the cmakelists.txt to your cmake version. Ifcpp should compile with lower cmake too. Try my repo since it is tested on linux gcc.
