HeeksCAD

This file describes how to build and install HeeksCAD under Unix systems.

Requirements

To build HeeksCAD, you need to install these requirements (with develoment files):

  • OpenCASCADE or OCE (OpenCASCADE Community Edition)
  • wxWidgets 2.8 or 3.0
  • libarea

Preparation

Create a build directory (e.g. build/ in sources root directory):

mkdir build
cd build

Configure build

If you want a default prefix (/usr/local) and a "Release" type, simply run:

cmake ..

If you want to change install prefix (e.g. /usr):

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..

If you want to debug HeeksCAD and its install:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/install ..

Build

After a successful CMake configuration, you can build it using:

make
``

If you want more output (ie. to debug):

```shell
make VERBOSE=1

Install

Using default or system-wide prefix:

sudo make install

Please note that if you installed it in /usr/local, you may need to run:

sudo ldconfig

If you choose a user-writable prefix, superuser privileges are not needed:

make install

One-liner snippets

Default

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

Debug

mkdir debug && cd debug && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/install .. && make && make install
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=install/lib install/bin/heekscad

Translation

Merge new strings:

  • Generate a .pot file and merge it to your catalog
sh translations/generate-pot-file.sh translations/xx/HeeksCAD.po

Note: this script assumes you have heekscad and heekscnc in the same parent directory.

  • After translating them, you can test catalog compilation using:
msgfmt -o HeeksCAD.mo HeeksCAD.po

Note: if you launch heekscad from a folder that contains HeeksCAD.mo file, this catalog will be loaded instead of system-wide one.
