Is it significantly better than brl-cad? I'll answer this one myself. FreeCAD does a much better job on importing both STEP and IGES than brl-cad. It's possible I've missed just the right combination of switches on one of the brl-cad imports, but with freecad it just works. I may need to find some more memory though - 1G isn't really enough to handle the biggest files with either of them. The freecad gui is also significantly more modern. Whether that makes it more productive is an open question, but it's certainly quicker for looking at models. I'm using gentoo too. Seems the install paths do not fit together well, but with (temporary) hack on line 5 of following steps you can make it build. I'm using KDE4.5.2 autounmask sci-misc/freecad-0.9.2646 emerge =media-libs/coin-3.1.3-r1 emerge =media-libs/SoQt-1.5.0-r1 emerge =sci-libs/opencascade-6.3-r1 sudo ln -s /usr/include/coin/Inventor/ /usr/include/ emerge =sci-misc/freecad-0.9.2646 I'm surprised that works - freecad-0.9.2646 has a dependency on =media- libs/coin-3.1.2 unless you also modified the ebuild. I ended up using the ebuild for 0.10.3025 attached to this bug, and it's working fine now. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312063 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hi I'm surprised that works - freecad-0.9.2646 has a dependency on =media- libs/coin-3.1.2 unless you also modified the ebuild.

I did a layman -S and emerge --sync, did what I wrote and it worked... Anyway. I'm glad, that FreeCAD works for you as well ^^ best regards leviathan signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
