Re: Making a FreeCAD Port

[Justin Noor]

Thanks for the effort. So basically almost everything is already in ports.
I haven’t decided which package to start with. I should know by today.

A lot of the dependencies in your list are not in FreeCAD’s dependency
list. They must be sub-dependencies, or part of FreeCAD’s modules?

New:
OpenNI2
libspanv
flann
pcl

In Ports:
OpenSCAD
OpenMPI?
orocos_kd1
Netgen
flann
qhul
libusb1
hdf5

Your list:
https://github.com/burne251/freecad-wip/blob/master/README.md

FreeCAD's dependency list:
https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Third_Party_Libraries

Re: Making a FreeCAD Port

[Justin Noor]

Stuart are referring to this WIP here?

https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/tree/master/cad/freecad


Paco your WIP seems like a better building block

https://git.e1e0.net/openbsd-wip/


Charlie which dependencies have you built so far? Do you have a WIP repo as
well?

Hey what a coincidence, I’ve just started porting dependencies- I’ve got
VTK finished up and about to submit it! Let me know if you’d like to split
up the load!

Oh yes, that makes sense, I missed oce when I was looking (this explains why
I had some feeling that we already might have OpenCASCADE :)

To add to what Stuart said here, it should be possible to get freecad to
work with our OpenCASCADE Community Edition in cad/oce. Now, don't ask
me what secret sauce needs to be concocted to do so, but in theory, it
should work.

I haven't seen any indication that anyone's working on it. There is
a first attempt in openbsd-wip but it's nowhere near a working port
(just downloads the distfile and runs cmake which then fails due to
lack of dependencies) and hasn't been touched after the initial
addition in 2015.

The starting point is to map out what's needed with the dependencies.
There's a list at https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Third_Party_Libraries
which is hopefully up-to-date enough to be useful. Some are available
in ports already (pkglocate will help find them) - may be a suitable
version already or may need updating. Others (including OpenCASCADE,
Coin3d, PySide) will need porting first (and some of these will have
their own chain of dependencies).

Making a FreeCAD Port

[Justin Noor]

Hi @ports,

Is there anyone working on FreeCAD? It's not in /usr/ports/cad, and I
searched the mailing list and did not find anything fruitful. If not, would
like to give it a shot if possible - this would be my first port. If there
is anyone working on it, please let me know how I can contribute.

Thank you
