3 problems (or more) [solved]

I see that --search doesn't work how i thought for src.

Once a package is installed using slapt-src it will be found by slapt-get --search. See here:

Code: Select all

root[rich]# slapt-get --search coin SoGt pivy xerces-c OpenCASCADE gl2ps
Coin-3.1.3-i486-2_SBo [inst=yes]: Coin (an Open Inventor API compatible library)
Pivy-hg_20101207-i486-1_SBo [inst=yes]: Pivy (a Coin binding for Python)
SoQt-1.5.0-i486-2_SBo [inst=yes]: SoQt (Qt GUI bindings for Coin library)
Pivy-hg_20101207-i486-1_SBo [inst=yes]: Pivy (a Coin binding for Python)
xerces-c-2.8.0-i486-1gv [inst=yes]: xerces-c (XML Parser)
OpenCASCADE-6.5.1-i486-1_SBo [inst=yes]: OpenCASCADE (3D modeling & numerical simulation)

Now I'm confused. What that mean laprjns?

[laprjns]

It means that you can use:

Code: Select all

splat-get --search slapt-get --search coin SoGt pivy xerces-c OpenCASCADE gl2ps

to see if all the packages are installed on your system

laprnjs edited the instructions in his original long post to include those dependencies. So all the information is in one place!

Thanks for the tip about slapt-src.

So you can check how far you've got like this:

slapt-get --search coin pivy.... and all the rest.

EDIT

The build of FreeCAD on my machine just completed, and it seems to work just fine! It is indeed at /opt/FreeCAD/bin/FreeCAD. I thought that rather than altering the $PATH variable, it might be simpler to symlink it to /usr/bin. But let's get it installed on your machine frst, Oracle.

I got this:

Code: Select all

root[rich]# slapt-src --search coin SoQt pivy xerces-c OpenCASCADE gl2ps

You need to use slapt-get, not slapt-src:

Code: Select all

slapt-get --search Coin ....

[laprjns]

Ok, I've successfully complete the build and installation of FreeCAD. Seems to work. Just follow the instructions that are in my earlier post. My instructions do not include the eigen2 package since its a optional dependancy. If you want it just added it to the end of the slapt-get -i line in step #2.
As mimosa said, it gets installed in /opt so if you want to start it in a terminal you either need to add /opt/FreeCAD to your path do a /opt/FreeCAD/FreeCAD. There is also a launcher in the "Graphic" section of the menu.

The instaalation failed again, but after closer look i noticed this:

Code: Select all

././src/Driver/Driver_Document.cpp  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/Driver_Document.o
././src/Driver/Driver_Document.cpp:22:29: fatal error: Driver_Document.h: Adresár alebo súbor neexistuje

Adresár alebo súbor neexistuje=No such file or directory

[mimosa]

As laprnjs says, you can just go back to the beginning and follow his instructions. Maybe you've already done that, though - in which case, please post the output of

Code: Select all

slapt-get --search coin SoQt pivy xerces-c OpenCASCADE gl2ps

which will show where things started to go wrong.

[Oracle911]

It says this:

Code: Select all
