[Qgis-developer] Opinion on plugin named prepair (and possible likes)

2014-06-05 Thread Kari Salovaara
Hi, there was some discussions during the spring of the plugin prepair. Problem was that it needs to have a compiled "kernel", c++, user UI is in python. I've tested it now both in linux (openSuse 12.3 and QGIS 2.2 up2date) and windows (w7pro/64 and QGIS 2.3 nightly latest) environments. In li

Thank you for your feedback Kari. I understand that compiling is not for everyone, that's why we offer both Windows and Mac binaries (we added Mac yesterday). No compiling required. It is written on the website how to proceed for Windows: unzip to C:\ directly. A windows Installer would be nice,

I'm not sure just adding it to QGIS like that is the best idea really, it's a bit bolt on. It would be better to port the prepair C++ logic into QGIS itself to use QGIS geometry rather then GDAL. We could then just expose the API and wrap it in Python to expose in Processing. - Nathan On Fri, Ju

Managinng the CGAL dependency would be useful for (SF)CGAL too. Today it's used only by PostGIS, internally, but maybe its use will extend in the future (hopefully for 3D in QGIS too!). giovanni 2014-06-06 17:51 GMT+02:00 Paolo Cavallini : > Il 06/06/2014 15:29, Hugo Ledoux ha scritto: > > > Ye

Hi Larry, Maybe I’m mistaken here, but doesn’t Homebrew always compile from source? Because if so, I’d think that even the mostly statically linked binary would still need to download and install a Boost bottle (albeit one that creates a static version of the libraries). But in any case, if it

Hello, Would it be possible in any case to have the boost + CGAL dependencies Optional ? These two libraries are really long to compile, and can therefore slow down the development workflow pretty hard. As for having an internal boost / cgal source tree, there is a strong risk of divergence bee
