HeeksCNC

This file describes how to build and install HeeksCNC under Unix systems.

Requirements

To build HeeksCNC, you need to install these requirements (with develoment files)

HeeksCAD
OpenCASCADE or OCE (OpenCASCADE Community Edition)
wxWidgets 2.8

Preparation

Create a build directory (e.g. build/ in sources root directory):

mkdir build
cd build

Configure build

If you want a default prefix (/usr/local) and a "Release" type, simply run:

cmake ..

If you want to change install prefix (e.g. /usr):

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..

If you want to debug HeeksCNC and its install:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/install ..

Important note: HeeksCNC's prefix should be the same as HeeksCAD to work correctly

Build

After a successful CMake configuration, you can build using:

make

If you want more output (ie. to debug):

make VERBOSE=1

Install

Using default or system-wide prefix:

sudo make install

Please note that if you installed it in /usr/local, you may need to run:

sudo ldconfig

If you choose a user-writable prefix, superuser privileges are not needed:

make install

Run

HeeksCNC is used through HeeksCAD interface. HeeksCNC requires additional python modules at runtime:

python module built by libarea
python module built by opencamlib

One-liner snippets

Default:

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

Debug:

mkdir debug && cd debug && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/install .. && make && make install
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=install/lib install/bin/heekscad
