Open CASCADE Technology version 5.2

The following problems/issues exist for the C# example.

1/ The correct project to start is the one in the "IE" directory. Ignore the RUN_MSVC.bat file, it doesn't work.

2/ The "Additional Include Directories" and "Additional Library Directories" fields in the "OCC" and "shell" projects need to be changed to point to the correct locations on your system,As they are, they point to the wrong directories for me and probably for you.

3/ In the "shell" project add "..\OCC\Debug" to the "Additional Libraries Directory" field. Don't forget to changes this for the Release version of the app.

4/ The #include statements in the "shell" project include file "shell.h" need to be changed to have "..\OCC\ before the file names.

5 When compiling "OCC" and "shell" projects, you get a LOT of warnings from the compiler. You can ignore these or just set the warning level lower if you don't like warnings about "downcasts" :-)

Once these mods have been done, you should be able to compile and run the DEBUG version of the app, if I haven't forgotten something. It does work !!.

Install on Gentoo unstabil (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.4).

Problem with install.csh: failes because of Linux/setupLinux.bin is thread based jre-1.3.x not using NPTL?
Workaround is to run java instead: java -jar ./Linux/setup.jar

Building OCC5.2 using OCC.COMP and GCC STL:-) and tcl 8.3, tk8.3, itcl3.2, tix8.1

Patch ros/inc/PlugIn_Macro.hxx:line 10:
from
#if defined (__hpux) || defined (HPUX)
to
#if defined (__hpux) || defined (HPUX) || defined (__GNUC__)
Becuase the preprocessor macro PLUGIN(name) failed: <> should be <> as used for HPUX

OCC code needs patch for tcl 8.4 see below.
Configured ros/adm/Linux/init and used the gcc stl by setting 'setenv STLPortInclude ""' and 'setenv STLPortLib ""'
Then insert as first line in ros/adm/Linux/OCC.COMP: source init
run OCC.COMP and waited for 3 hours on my athlonXP 2500.
and then run DRAWEXE to test it.

Now trying on Gentoo amd64, GCC 3.4.1 and tcl 8.4
TODO:
Path for tcl 8.4 --- error: invalid conversion from `Standard_Integer (*)(void*, Tcl_Interp*, Standard_Integer, char**)' to `int (*)(void*, Tcl_Interp*, int, const char**)'.

GCC3.4 say that the C++ code are invalid in 34 cases caused by the use of privat copy constructer: class XX {... privat XX(const&);}
see the GCC C++ manual
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#cxx_rvalbind
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html#cplusplus
Workaround is to make them public.
And some openGL compiler error -- look like some things are missing.

Hallo people,

I tried to install OpenCascade on a Sun Solaris 2.8 OS, using gcc-3.2.2.
But the OpenCascade libraries seem to be invalid to (link error for the qt samples: undefined references). A rebuild test for some libraries showed a very different content. The original SunOS libraries seem to be corrupted by some control character (here a short file extract)

As I would like to use the original libraries, does anyone know has an idea ?

Thank you in advance
