Can QymCAD work with one of those versions ? If not, why not ?
Yes I know about opencascade 8.0 and 7.4 presence in ports.
Unfortunately, QymCAD does not work with them. 7.4 lacks some important
features, while 8.0 has a significant API change. I already asked QyCAM
developer about possibility to move to 8.0, he says that is kind of
impossible in near future, takes too much work. I would not ask here if
that was such easy. :-)
I consider integrating opencascade 7.9.3 into QymCAD source tree, but
this does not look like a good solution.
Keep in mind that using the ports system for controlled, reliable
deployment and committing a port are two different things. I have
always deployed a lot of software directly from my WIP collection
(https://github.com/outpaddling/freebsd-ports-wip), either as a
long-term solution for software that might never be worth committing, or
as a stop-gap while waiting for upstream to catch up. Overlays makes
this approach pretty convenient, for both the developer and users who
want to use/test the ports.
