Hi Thomas,
Congratulation! V138 compiles here without incident (using setup.py).
I've started looking at setup.py. For a quick portability change, would it make
sense to change
OCC_INC = '/usr/local/occ63/inc'
OCC_LIB = '/usr/local/occ63/lib'
to
OCC_INC = OCC_ROOT + '/inc'
OCC_LIB = OCC_ROOT + '/lib'
in environment.py? I think that should work on all Linux installations.
I've also been looking at this section in setup.py:
#
# OCC header file TopOpeBRepDS_tools.hxx maybe missing, causing a gccxml error.
#
if not os.path.isfile(os.path.join(OCC_INC,'TopOpeBRepDS_tools.hxx')):
try:
f = open(os.path.join(OCC_INC,'TopOpeBRepDS_tools.hxx'),'w')
f.close()
print "TopOpeBRepDS_tools.hxx created in %s"%OCC_INC
except:
print "You don't have write acces to %s directory. Please use 'sudo
python setup.py build'."%OCC_INC
sys.exit(0)
As this is the only section requiring root access as part of the build, I'd
like
to find a way around it. What's happening here? Why does SWIG need to find
TopOpeBRepDS_tools.hxx? The only reference to this header I could find in occ
is
in TopOpeBRep_tools.hxx.
As a quick and dirty workaround, I guess we could change the print statement to
instruct the user:
if not os.path.isfile(os.path.join(OCC_INC,'TopOpeBRepDS_tools.hxx')):
print "OCC header file missing (TopOpeBRepDS_tools.hxx)."
print "Please type 'sudo touch %s/inc/TopOpeBRepDS_tools.hxx' and then
restart the build"%OCC_ROOT
sys.exit(0)
It requires a bit more effort from the user (well, a copy and paste), but it
means building without root privilege, which is the Unix custom.
What do you think?
