[SOLVED] Building 0.14 on Slackware 14.1 (32b)

[however]

Hi All,

I am new to FreeCAD and starting to learn just the basic watching tutorials on you tube.

I have been watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=331N7aBSLsU and despite being in french (which I dont' t speak) I managed to create a cpl of openings which should be windows. All good so far.

Then, at about 6.36'' the the guy adds a window that result in a panel opening on the right of the workbench (in the picture below) and he selects between a series of window models. Now, why don't I have that panel (and i don't seem to find/enable it anywhere)? Am i missing some FreeCAD modules, or extensions? if so, where do I find FreeCAD extensions?

I am using FreeCAD 0.13 on Slackware 14.1

Any suggestion will be welcome.

In FreeCAD 0.13 the tool is not yet available. It is fairly recent addition implemented into FreeCAD and you would need to install/compile Development Release to get the tool:



viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4741

You said you had difficulties to obtain Development Release source code:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6244&start=10#p50165

Code: Select all

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/free-cad/code free-cad-code

This should get you the code. If you managed to successfully compile FreeCAD 0.13 i guess you should be able to do the same for Development Release too. List of dependencies is probably similar compared to Ubuntu:

[however]

Nope! it just won't work!

but I believe I am getting closer to have a successful build of FreeCAD Development release.

The compile stops with the following error msg:

Checking all installed packages on my Slack box, I found Coin3.1.3; however I don't seem to find the Coin3D package anywhere.

Is it the same package as Coin?
- if so, why is the configure stopping saying that it can't find it?
- If it isn't, could anyone tell me where to find the Coin3D source file, so that I may attempt to build it?

Thank you in advance for any help.

-- Coin3D doc is not installed
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
OCC_INCLUDE_DIR

The message: "Coin3D doc is not installed" can be ignored. It is only about the Coin documentation, which is only needed, if you want program yourself and need information about coin.
It seems you have not installed or set the "Open Cascade" package. Or the development files for Open Cascade are missing.

you can try: cmake-gui .
in your build-directory. This will show an option for the Open Cascade include directory. This is definitely needed.

[however]

I will give the cmake-gui a go,

It seems you have not installed or set the "Open Cascade" package. Or the development files for Open Cascade are missing.

i'm pretty sure that OpenCascade is installed (otherwise, I don't think I would have successfully compiled and installed FreCAD 0.13). However, I wasn't aware that I need to "set" it. Any help on this matter please?

The message: "Coin3D doc is not installed" can be ignored.

The build stops, which means that I can't go any further.

I'll report back shortly, to let you know.

Thank you.

I am sorry i can not help you further i would need to install your distro and try if i could succeed. Because you already succeeded and successfully compiled FreeCAD 0.13 i would say some small detail is holding you back when compiling Development Release.

Maybe one more suggestion from my side to test if it helps. Delete folders you downloaded source code and start again:

Code: Select all

cd
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/free-cad/code free-cad-code
mkdir master_build && cd master_build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DFREECAD_USE_EXTERNAL_PIVY=true ../free-cad-code
make
./bin/FreeCAD 

[however]

Nope! Still nothing!

However, i noticed that other dependency packages seem to be missing, such as:
matplotlib
numpy
python-dateutil
distribute
pytz
Spnav
SetupTools

Just in case the issue is with OpenCascade, could you tell me how to "set" it correctly?

p.s.: even after installing all the above mentioned packages, 'cmake-gui' returns the same error msg

Code: Select all

I will now try the last option of downloading FreeCAD Development Release again and start over. I will let you know how it goes shortly.

You can set the path for OpenCascade in cmake-gui here: see picture

Yes that make sense you will have to set that manually with GUI or in CLI but how did you get OCE in the first place? Manually compiled or Slackware has it in repositories?

[however]

Now, that's interesting!

I hadn't noticed this message:

freecad_snapshot2.jpg (9.81 KiB) Viewed 3015 times

I don't have/find the OCE anywhere, (package already installed or Slackware repository)

freecad_snapshot1.jpg (3.68 KiB) Viewed 3015 times

How/where did you get it from?

Thanks
