free-CAD is forcing me to upgrade my Mac! I don't have 64 of those bits.
2012-01-27 21:28:45
andypugh
I guess I could pull the source and compile for 32 bits
2012-01-27 21:35:05
andypugh
No, same problem as last time, the makefile can't "work" gfortran.

FreeCad needs Fortran?
2012-01-27 21:36:34
andypugh
Looks like it

Any suggestions welcomed.

How is the CAM support getting along in FreeCad? There was something planned, wasn't there?

andypugh: a <find -name "*.f"> shows it's in salome, and has something to do with mesh generation library, so is probably important. I think you are going to have to get gfortran if you want to complie FreeCAD.
2012-01-27 23:40:36
andypugh
I _have_ gfortran, and it finds it. It falls over when it checks the -g flag.
2012-01-27 23:43:42
brent_lap
what's the -g flag?
2012-01-27 23:44:35
brent_lap
doesn't seem to say on the man page
2012-01-27 23:47:22
louipc
haha fortran?
2012-01-27 23:49:13
brent_lap
that's one thing that sucks compiling freecad- dependencies up the yang.
2012-01-27 23:51:58
louipc
what's a yang?
2012-01-27 23:54:10
brent_lap
hmm...maybe an American-only slang for up the butt-hole.
2012-01-27 23:55:40
brent_lap
andypugh: if the program doesn't really need the -g flag, which it might not, you could try disabling the check for it in the configure.ac.
2012-01-27 23:56:30
andypugh
brent_lap: You saw the pastebin?
2012-01-27 23:57:02
andypugh
It might be simpler to upgrade to a 64-bit machine and use the binary :-)
2012-01-27 23:57:50
louipc
brent_lap: sounds unpleasant
2012-01-27 23:58:44
andypugh
Hmm, this is interesting: [cube:~/Documents/freeCAD] andy2% gfortran
2012-01-27 23:59:01
andypugh
usr/local/bin/gfortran: Bad CPU type in executable.
2012-01-27 23:59:04
brent_lap
you know, I think it's just debugging info
2012-01-27 23:59:15
brent_lap
the -g flag I mean
2012-01-27 23:59:45
brent_lap
that's what it is in gcc, and I think gfortran is just a front-end to gcc
2012-01-28 00:01:12
brent_lap
yeah, supports all the gcc commands, and that is what -g is. I would try disabling that in the configure.ac, and trying again.
2012-01-28 00:01:45
andypugh
Well, I can't invoke gfortran at all, "Bad CPU type"...
2012-01-28 00:05:11
brent_lap
well, that sucks- what kind of machine are you on?
2012-01-28 00:07:17
brent_lap
that seems wrong, because gfortran should just be a front-end.
2012-01-28 00:08:15
brent_lap
so gcc wouldn't work either.
2012-01-28 00:13:14
andypugh
I am on a Mac, but it is a rather rare 32-bit Intel one
2012-01-28 00:13:40
brent_lap
I'm going to try compiling it on this lap- I gave up several dependencies into it before.:(
2012-01-28 00:13:58
brent_lap
but doesn't gcc work?
2012-01-28 00:14:18
andypugh
Yes, see the pastebin http://pastebin.com/3xXVHHKR
2012-01-28 00:15:14
brent_lap
maybe fortran has some weird machine dependencies in the language.
2012-01-28 00:15:56
brent_lap
maybe if you installed g77?
2012-01-28 00:17:08
brent_lap
I guess I need to read before I jump to conclusions- -g flag isn't even a prob...oh well.

Can anyone tell me how to change the Units in FreeCAD to imperial?
2012-01-28 00:58:50
andypugh
maddogma: Mentally divide by 25.4? (Sorry, I know there is probably a way, but I am still working on getting the app to run)
2012-01-28 01:02:19
andypugh
Maybe tools - edit parameters - units? That isn't working on my Mac in 0.11 but might work for you.

hmm I get a failed dependency claims no GTK2.0, Im on hardy here
2012-01-28 10:43:37
awallin
I didn't try it
2012-01-28 10:45:43
archivist
I had a quick browse of the source directories, only seems a few months old
2012-01-28 10:49:15
awallin
yeah I didn't know about it until today.. nice progress from the screenshots. I don't know how "real-time" the simulation is, it might be just showing the end-result

he uses a strange make called scons which fails on this box NameError: name 'BoolVariable' is not defined:
