baginner problem - Installing and programming on OpenCascade

I am pretty new on Linux and C++ programming. I am trying to use OpenCascade, but have some problems to understand how to use it on my program.

1. I installed OpenCascade on Windows
2. Ran Draw Test Harness application
3. Read the first application tutorial

So, I think everytinhg is set up, right? How can I compile a simple application, to show a spline, for example? In fact, wish to create surfaces (geometry), save in .IGES file format and create the triangulated surface mesh (I can use Gmsh to do create this mesh, if a I have the .IGES file geometry).

All this may be done on Linux, but the main problem now is to understand how to create a simple application first, to create a simple surface and save as .IGES file format.

Please, help me to finish this task, I am really confused to do this! Thanks.

Hi Gilles,

Are you working on window or Linux? Are you successful installing OCC on Linux? I am also pretty new but,I am successful to install OCC on Linux, and started to work with some examples! If you are planning to work with LINUX+OCC we might work together!

Regards

Hi, Game

I would like very much your help! I use Ubuntu, now I installed my stuff on Windows, because I thought it would be easier to work (once I am not very familiar with Linux), but the real deal is to work with Linux, in fact.

I can already generate my meshes from .IGES files using Gmsh, I only need to put OpenCascade to work, to give me .IGES geometries.

Do you use any communicator, such like Msn messenger, GTalk or Skype? So, we could contact.
