freecad slackbuild doesn't work
The FreeCAD slackbuild doesn't work. All the Slackbuilds for the dependencies worked.
Code:
checking for boost system library... yes Code:
SIM_AC_HAVE_SOQT_IFELSE(,as_fn_error " I think the problem has something to do with bash4 parsing differently than bash3 or something? I don't know. |
Hi darksaurian, Is SoQt installed? It appears the script can't locate it.
Good luck. ;-) |
hi there
FreeCAD requires xerces-c, Coin, SoQt, Pivy, and OpenCASCADE. You do not have SoQt installed regards Lawrence |
Seems to be compiling now. I compliled all those dependencies, maybe I forgot to pkgtool that one.
I wonder why it gave me a syntax error instead of a missing dependency message. |
Coincidentally, I happened to be building FreeCAD (Slackware 13.1 64-bit) when I saw your message. Actually, I was in the middle of Pivy at the time.
Anyway, after waiting through a loonnggg build of OpenCASCADE (dang, it was a long, long time on a really, really fast platform), I compiled FreeCAD with no errors (well, I got the package) and have it installed. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have SoQT installed before your built Pivy and OpenCASCADE that you may need to check or rebuild those then tackle FreeCAD? Hope this helps some. |
No, I already installed FreeCAD. I had ran all the slackbuild scripts for all the dependenices. And I did installpkg on all of them except for SoQT, forgot that one for some reason. Yeah Opencascade and Freecad take forever to compile. Turned out freecad isn't even what I want.
I just wanted to look at some dxf files so I using A9CAD through wine now. I'd rather use QCAD but I can't get that slackbuild to work either. |
What trouble did you have with QCad? I used the 13.1 build script for 13.0 and am using it now. I don't recall any major headaches.
Good luck. ;-) |
I'm not sure if I did it right. I got qt3-3.3.8b-i486-opt1.txz from http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/slackware/...a/kde3-compat/ and installed that package. Then I ran the qcad script and this happened:
Code:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/qcad-2.0.5.0-1-community.src/qcad/src' |
Looks like you didn't download the manual source. Grab that and put it in the build directory with the program source then try it again.
Good luck. ;-) |
Oh. Yeah.
|
Thx I'm glad qcad works. Running CAD through wine sucks.
|
Just reading this thread now :)
FreeCAD is not really "ready" yet it seems, compared to commercial programs like VariCAD etc. VariCAD is free to try for 30 days - you might want to take a look at it if you have professional interest in CAD programs. QCad is nice for 2D designing, even at the professional level. |

HI there
If you just want to view autocad files , Then use Inkscape its on slackbuilds Regards Lawrence |
There is also LibreCad but I've not tried it out yet http://www.librecad.org/
