Compiling with custom builds

Post by gaggedegg »

Hello,

I'm trying to compile FreeCAD with minimum builds from CMAKE. I have only selected below mentioned builds in CMAKE

  • Build_GUI
  • Build_Material
  • Build_Mesh
  • Build_Mesh_Part
  • Build_Part
  • Build_QT5
  • Build_Raytracing
  • Build_Web
I'm getting 18 Builds to succeed and 15 to fail. Are there any dependencies required to build successfully all the builds? If so can you please mention what other builds should I include here? Also I only want 'part and raytracing workbench' to work upon, so which builds do I require for them?


OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
IDE: Visual Studio Community 2019 (MSVC 2015)
CMAKE: 3.17.5
LibPack: FreeCADLibs_12.1.6_x64_VC15 (https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... 64_VC15.7z)
SourceCode: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD.git

There are some link errors. I guess it's probably because I haven't build some dependencies. Like, when building 'PartDesignGui', there is a fatal error stating that 'cannot open input file 'SketcherGui.lib' ' and it's obvious because I have not checked 'Build_Sketcher' in CMAKE while configuring and generating files. :oops:

I think I should close this topic now!

Thank you for asking wmayer!

No need to close anything.
It seems your on your way yourself, but don't hesitate to post these issues in this sub-forum, we all gain knowledge from each other.
Some time ago ian.rees did some work on this to give a warning in CMake when disabled projects were dependencies of built projects. I am still looking for the old thread.
