cura-build-environment

WIP

This repository contains helper scripts for building Cura from source. It will create a base environment from which which are used to build an installer for the specific OS.

System Requirements

Python 3.10.2
conan >= 1.46

Linux

GCC >= 8.0
CMake >= 3.16
GNU Make >= 4
Docker >= 20

MacOS

MacOS SDK
clang-apple
MacOS

Windows

Visual Studio >= 16
NMake
Docker
makensis (should be on the PATH)
jinja2 (should be parth of Conan)

CMake script

The CMake project will ensure that the following dependencies are build and can be installed in a location for future use. It will download and install the following projects:

libnest2d
pynest2d
libsavitar
libarcus

The list of dependencies above also have their own dependencies, such as:

cpython
protobuf
clipper
boost
gtest
nlopt

These can be installed with the help of Conan, which is a dependency manager for C++ projects. It will either download the binaries and header files or compile it automatically from source. It will also generate the CMake find_package modules, such that these can be used. The conanfile.txt located in the root of this directory specifies a list of used dependencies.

Installation of Conan is simple:

pip install conan
conan profile new default --detect

Ultimaker has its own standard Conan configuration, you could apply these with the command below. Keep in mind that this isn't necesarry and it might overwrite your current Conan configuration
conan config install https://github.com/ultimaker/conan-config.git

Once Conan is installed and configured, installing the cura-build-environment is easy. The steps below should do the trick.

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<install_path> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install_path> ..
cmake --build .

The Installer for your OS can now be found in the <install_path>/installer/dist/

On Windows make sure you are working in the x64 Visual Studio 2019/2022 Command Prompt and specify the NMake generator using the cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<install_path> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install_path> ..
