Compile from git, by a Newbie - missing include file

Post by claypipe »

I am trying to build my first Freecad from Git. I am a beginner at this!

I have installed everything (I think)
I have done the
cmake .
When I do
make
it does very little and stops with the message
fatal error: Inventor/scxml/ScXMLInvoke.h: No such file or directory
#include <Inventor/scxml/ScXMLInvoke.h>

Please could someone suggest what I have neglected to do.
Ta.

The most important is to tell us your OS.

OK. You have to install the devel package for Coin3d which might be libcoin60-dev or libcoin80-dev. There might be a few more packages missing but the compiler is so kind to tell you this :) So, just come back if you still have failures.

I already have libcoin80-dev installed. Is it, perhaps, that I need to tell the compile to use libcoin80 rather than libcoin60.

(Sorry if I am being dumb about this, cmake is new to me. I learned on bare old Makefiles.)

Doh, that's odd. Apparently this header is part of libcoin60-dev but is not inside libcoin80-dev.

Can you please send the whole error message when running make? There we can at least see which other files tries to include the non-existent file. But I would say it's a bug in the debian package.

Don't worry. It's not your fault that it fails there.

OK, thanks.

Ah, now I see. On debian based systems there is no need to build the shipped pivy sources because a package already exists, called python-pivy. Install this one and then disable the build of the local pivy by setting FREECAD_USE_EXTERNAL_PIVY on.

Code: Select all

cmake -DFREECAD_USE_EXTERNAL_PIVY=ON .

I believe that this is back to the version of python I have available.

Python reports :

Python 2.7.5+ (default, Sep 17 2013, 15:31:50)
Python3 reports:

Python 3.3.2+ (default, Sep 18 2013, 11:58:01) 
Can I persuade the build to use python 3?

Certainly not as FreeCAD is not compatible with python 3. It's probably the source of your troubles but I wouldn't know how to fix it.
