@Paul_Frederick I’m sure it compiles. The question is the effort required to recreated the compilation environment vs the reward. There are some projects I compile, usually when I want specific optimizations included. This isn’t one of them. In this case I’d rather be modeling than debugging and/or recreating a compilation environment.
Which is not to say I condemn your effort. To the contrary, you have more patience than I. Kudos.
@Greg_Copeland I’m sure the copy I have doesn’t compile. Because it didn’t.
error /home/pfred1/bin/FreeCAD/src/3rdParty/salomesmesh/inc/SMESHDS_Mesh.hxx:62:69: error: wrong number of template arguments (3, should be 2)
I use it FreeCAD all the time. It is my go-to CAD app. I use the compiled binaries.
@SirGeekALot I was running my copy yesterday when it informed me that, “SparseQR not supported by you (sic) current version of Eigen.”
They might want to fix that bit of a grammatical error there. Since then I’ve been working on upgrading my Eigen here. I’m having some trouble getting the checks to compile on my system though. They’ve apparently moved on with librt, and dropped support for older versions of glibc.
It is running into these sorts of problems frequently that spurs me on in regards to upgrading my whole system. But it is also the best way for me to learn some things that I otherwise might not too.
You can log this issue as a bug here:
@SirGeekALot I would if I knew more about it, and it wasn’t the git source tree. But I expect git pulls to be pretty flaky. I’ll update in a while and see what happens then.
I use it. I think for a free product it is outstanding. only second to Fusion 360. I use it for 3D printer part modeling.
