LibPack for Windows "Python packages"

[wmayer]

Or do you think the shaft wizard should instead be changed so that it does no longer use the Plot WB?

I built now the Plot WB and with the build from GitHub I can now start the Shaft wizard. However I get many deprecation warnings concerning old mathplotlib things and Qt4 bindings. I also get some Python errors when generating the plots in a certain order. The question is who could take care of the wizard to update it.

I think that FC 0.19 should become ready, thus I appreciate that we develop here a final LibPack for it. It should only contain components that can be used by the user. So if the shaft wizard cannot be updated, maybe we should exclude it from FC 0.19? What do you think?

The author of the Plot and Ship module stopped maintenance a few years ago and it was discussed to move them to the add-ons repo. However, these two modules are still part of the main FreeCAD repo, too. I think Plot and Ship can be removed from the main repo now.

If the WizardShaft still needs the Plot module then the code should be changed to carefully check if the Plot module is available and if not pop-op a dialog to inform the user to install the add-on.

Builded netgen against OCC75.

Can someone test the netgen build?

OK. Who can/will do this to make both an addon? Maybe luzpaz can state on this?

OK. I am no Pythionist but when the Plot WB became an addon, I will try to implement this.

Many thanks! is there anything special I need to set e.g. in CMake?

(Right now I am trying to create a release build and will report back.)

The netgen Plugin can be compiled. I only get these compiler warnings:

But when I go to the FEM workbench I get the same Python error about failed DLL loading as before. When I try to create to tesselate a mesh, I get:

I'll now rebuild everything from scratch and report back.

I see now that CMake fails:

Code: Select all

CMake Error at D:/FreeCAD-build/FreeCADLibs_12.4.2_x64_VC17/cmake/NetgenConfig.cmake:35 (set):
  Syntax error in cmake code at

    D:/FreeCAD-build/FreeCADLibs_12.4.2_x64_VC17/cmake/NetgenConfig.cmake:35

  when parsing string

    d:\Work\FC_Develop\FreeCadLibs\FreeCADLibs_12.4.2_x64_VC17\inc

  Invalid character escape '\W'.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  cMake/FindNETGEN.cmake:16 (find_package)
  CMakeLists.txt:55 (find_package)

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Therefore I changed now all backslashes to slashes and then CMake succeeds. However, is it correct that you hardcoded in the CMake file the folders on your PC?

However, the compilation is now on its way.

Great. Since Plot and Ship are now addons, should we then also remove the options from CMake to build them as workbenches?

[uwestoehr]

It works! So after fixing the CMake issue a complete rebuilt of FC works and now I can use the Path, FEM and Mesh WB.
The Netgen compilation warnings remain, but I think they can be ignored since this is no our code, right?

git commit be11a92f4 improves the handling in case the Plot add-on is not installed.
