Thanks for the update Thomas. This is not a big issue for us, as we currently use a custom-compiled netgen executable anyways - I just wanted to experiment a bit with SMESH.

The SMESH library is able to use the netgen mesher with OCC shapes. *However*, the SalomeProject, from which is extracted SMESH, builds its solution over an old release of netgen. Furthermore, there are an impressive set of patches to apply to the original netgen code so that it can be used with SMESH. As a consequence, it's so hard to compile SMESH with netgen that it's almost impossible ("almost" meaning I never got it working!).

I really want pythonOCC and required dependencies to be easily compiled on every platform : I've been working on a CMake based pythonOCC, and also recently contributed a CMake build for SMESH and GEOM (both projects driven by Fotis). I created a new branch, a few weeks ago, on the SMESH svn trunk in order to make SMESH compile with the latest release of netgen(4.9.11). I then plan to add netgen support in pythonOCC only when this work is done.

So, in the 0.4 release, netgen support is disabled, although all required headers are ready (the ones you see in the 'contrib' folder).

    If I recall correctly, there are some issues in building the
    netgen libs.
    Was that the case Thomas?
