Help me install of CASCADE!

I'm beginner. I'm trying to configure & install in the linux (ubuntu 10.04 in the virtual box)

My working history is....
1st)
% pwd
/home/ubuntu
%mkdir CASCADE
%mv OpenCASCADE651.tar.gz ./CASCADE
%cd CASCADE
%gunzip -d OpenCASCADE651.tar.gz
%tar -xvf OpenCASCADE651.tar.gz

% cd ./ros
% vi README.txt %./configure --with-gl-include=/usr/include --with-gl-library=/usr/lib --prefix=$HOME/CAS651
====> Because others of flags be able to make some errors in my system environment, I tried to run simple configure. If I succeed it, I'll run configure with much more flags.

Hello Kwan-Heung Oh,

The error is that 'atol', which is part of the C standard library 'stdlib', could not be found.

>> ../../../src/OSD/OSD_MAllocHook.cxx:283:24: error: 'atol' was not declared in this scope

Could you include into .../CASCADE/ros/src/OSD/OSD_MAllocHook.cxx manually?

Dennis

Thanks for your reply, Dennis G.

I included , and execute "make" in the ../CAS/CADE/ros.

and, After it had been running for 1 and half hour, I think it would be recursive loop. and, I stopped the process by Ctrl^z and killed it.

I think Making CASCADE environment is difficult and too complex.

Do you have any recommandation or comment for my problem?.

Best Reagrds.

You can try the alternative OCE (OpenCascade Community Edition), which as been succesfully tested on Win32/64-Mac OSX-Linux Debian/Ubuntu. It fixes many compilation issues. You can get the latest 0.6.0 release source code at:
https://github.com/tpaviot/oce

FYI, Henning Meyer also contributed a precompiled package for Ubuntu Natty:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hmeyer/3d
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install liboce [or liboce-dev]

Best Regards,

Thomas

Thanks Thomas Paviot.
I tried to follow your reply. but I failed at the 2. Configure step in Instal.Unix. In particular,when I execute "cmake ..".

I tahe down my full working process as follow:

I downloaded the "tpaviot-oce-OCE-0.6.0-6-gf52c1f5.zip" from https://github.com/tpaviot/oce to /data/OCE (local directory), and

% pwd
/data/OCE
% ls
tpaviot-oce-OCE-0.6.0-6-gf52c1f5.zip
% unzip tpaviot-oce-OCE-0.6.0-6-gf52c1f5.zip => dispaly messages be skipped
% ls

% cd tpaviot-oce-f52c1f5

You need libfreetype6-dev.

Hi. i'm not user in linux. but i have some advise for you

first, plz read a documentation about Open CASCADE.

but, i please to recommend you don't confuse how to install OCC.

1. open the documentation about introduction html file

2. if you open it. you may find the split window, left side take a contents, and right side takes explanation.

i think it's very important to try this order

1. read the "OpenCASCADE Technology Installation"
it contain explaination about installed folder

2. then HardWare and Software Requirements
in this case, you have to read Linux intel.

i think that maybe you skip this order <3 step> causes the problem.

3. Open CASCADE 6.5.1 is updated by other library likes freetype, freeimage, tbb ..etc. so if you want to use these, please read the "Compilation of third-party products used for OCCT - Recommendations for compliation"

this contents explain how to compile the library which is used in OCC

if you don't want to it, just read "Building modules - Building Modules" and with "Open CASCADE Technology Installation - System Environment Variables"

because if you success the install and use Open CASCADE, you must compile the project file of Open CASCADE.

i'm a window user, but if you need some help about installation Open CASCADE, please send me a e-mail sting01@naver.com

I'm working for another project. and I'll be busy to the end of this year.
Please give me a your e-mail ID to my email: okwanh2hanmail.net.
In the beginning of next year, when I'll retry to install the OCC, I hope help me again.
Best Regards.
