This turned into just a set of notes about CTest and Boost.Test: CTest integrates well with CMake [1] and allows us to run executables that perform tests. Each test can be set as required (to be passed) or not. The result of each test is based on a rule that is defined in the each tests properties

I have an idea. may be simpler, If we keep freecad as a dependency, they have python too, so we could call python "freecad" to build the model as we want, and save it as we desire. We would become brothers with freecad, but isn't it free software too? :) 2013/5/5 Lorenzo Marcantonio > People
