I too want to try to build the sources with the "conda build".

How does it work on Mac?

By the way I managed to create a terminal launchable application by using brew. See https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=34537

Only the start page is missing after the build.

conda is more or less executable.

Don't know if there is some documentation or scrips to replicate builds self...

Here's how you can get a conda build on your mac:

Here is a short instruction how to install a python3 version of freecad with conda: (by now only a linux version is available, maybe someone want to make a conda paykage of freecad for windows and mac)

INSTALL MINICONDA:

1. first get miniconda: http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html choose python3 (it's not necessary, you could also choose python2, but then it will download python3 stuff in the "create-env-step")
2. install miniconda: bash <miniconda-file>.sh (not as root!!!)
3. at the end of the install it will ask you if you want to add the anaconda-dir to the $PATH, say yes.
4. if you do not want anaconda to be the default python open the ~/.bashrc and edit the new line:
   -from this: export PATH="path_to_anaconda/bin:$PATH"
   -to this: alias initConda='export PATH="path_to_anaconda/bin:$PATH" '
   : this way anaconda isn't perpended by default. As soon as you call "initConda" python will be the anaconda version.

CREATE A NEW ENV

1. type in terminal: initConda (now the "conda" command should be available)
2. create an env: conda create -n <env-name> python=3.5 # with <env-name> is the name of the env, eg. fc_test
   (it will install some packages, but I think most of them are available within miniconda, so it will only link this packages to the env)
3. at the end of this process a short statement is printed how to activate the new env.: source activate <env-name>
4. now you have a minimal setup of python (only packages in this env are available)

INSTALL FREECAD

1. first we have to add some channels to get all the necesarry packages:
   - you can add them one by one with: conda config --add channels <name>
   - or you can open the ~/.condarc and add them directly to this file
   at the end this file should look like this:

   Code: Select all

   channels:
     - spyder-ide
     - dlr-sc
     - looooo
     - defaults
   

   the channels hosting this libraries:
   looooo: freecad, coin, pivy, boost,...
   dlr-sc: oce
   spyder-ide: libuci
2. install freecad: conda install freecad
3. start freecad: FreeCAD
   If you had freecad previously on your machine this will maybe work. otherwise there will be errors about missing libraries. Please report this and search if the missing packages are available on anaconda.org.

Here's how you can get a conda build on your mac:

Currently we can not use latest conda-forge packages. But it's still possible to create environments for freecad by using the cf201901 label. So use this command to create the environment:

Code: Select all

conda create -n freecad freecad blas=*=openblas -c freecad/label/dev -c conda-forge/label/cf201901

for linux there is also the possibility to create an environment with latest stuff. But the version of FreeCAD is a bit older.

Code: Select all

conda create -n freecad freecad blas=*=openblas -c freecad/label/testing -c conda-forge/label

For the rest of the instruction please have a look at the conda-docs:
https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en ... index.html

If there are any problems/difficulties please ask.

For buildin conda-packages have a look here:
https://conda.io/projects/conda-build/e ... index.html

I also made some notes for freecad but this is not up to date:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD_Cond ... r/build.md

Would be nice if someone can spend some time and add instructions for Mac-OS. In principle building conda-packages is the same for all platforms but there are some specific parts which are not that trivial.

For the Mac I followed this instructions: https://www.anaconda.com/utilizing-the- ... ibution-5/

It would be nice to have more people working on conda-packages. Conda makes it simple to compile for different platforms, but there is always some work necessary to keep the packages up-to-date.

This is the result when I run the command in the same folder as I ran cmake:

Code: Select all

$ for i in `grep -Rl '\-I/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/include'` ; do sed -e 's?-I/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/include??' $i >/tmp/junk ; mv /tmp/junk $i ; done
grep: warning: recursive search of stdin
<...nothing happens...>

How do I use this command?

I managed to build FreeCAD on Mojave. After cmake I run

Code: Select all

for i in `grep -Rl '\-I/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/include'` ; do sed -e 's?-I/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/include??' $i >/tmp/junk ; mv /tmp/junk $i ; done

Really not elegant, but I think this is a cmake problem. best,

Hi,

Just as confirmation: the freeze bug in Mojave is not fixed, doesn't it?

The FC 0.18 binaries are still freezing my computer (mostly Finder related stuff) and the Automator hack is a little weird (it's the one I use but day by day I hate it more and more, hehehe).

Cheers

Is it the same for 0.18.1 and latest 0.19? Maybe you can test.
