Building with Code::Blocks on Mac OS X

This file describes steps to build OCCT libraries from a complete source package on Mac OS X with Code::Blocks.

If you build OCCT from bare sources (as in Git repository) or do some changes affecting CDL files, you need to use WOK to re-generate header files and build scripts / projects. See Using WOK for instructions.

Before building OCCT, you need to install the required third-party libraries; see paragraph 1 of Building OCCT from sources for details.

  1. Add paths to the mandatory 3rd-party products (Tcl/Tk and FreeType) in file custom.sh located in <OCCT_ROOT_DIR>. For this:

    1.1. Add paths to the includes in variable CSF_OPT_INC;

    1.2. Add paths to the binary libraries in variable CSF_OPT_LIB64;

    All paths should be separated by ":" symbol.

  2. Add paths to the optional 3rd-party libraries (TBB, gl2ps and FreeImage) in the aforementioned environment variables CSF_OPT_INC and CSF_OPT_LIB64 from file custom.sh.

    If you want to build OCCT without the optional libraries perform the following steps:

    2.1 Disable unnecessary library in custom.sh by setting the corresponding variable HAVE_<LIBRARY_NAME> to false.

export HAVE_GL2PS=false

2.2 Remove this library from Linker settings in Code::Blocks for each project that uses it: right click on the required project, choose Build options, go to Linker settings tab in the opened window , select unnecessary libraries and click Delete button.

  1. Open Terminal application
  2. Enter <OCCT_ROOT_DIR>:
cd \<OCCT_ROOT_DIR\>
  1. To start Code::Blocks, run the command /codeblocks.sh
  2. To build all toolkits, click Build->Build workspace in the menu bar.

To start DRAWEXE, which has been built with Code::Blocks on Mac OS X, perform the following steps:

1.Open Terminal application

2.Enter <OCCT_ROOT_DIR>:

cd \<OCCT_ROOT_DIR\>

3.Run the script

./draw_cbp.sh cbp [d]

Option d is used if OCCT has been built in Debug mode.
