Gtkmm and Opencascade

Posted on October 22, 2008 by admin

Ok… I think maybe the OCC is a bit too big of a piece to try to take on at the moment.
I just want to play with Occ and Makebottle with Gtk+ using Gtkmm.
I did some searching at lunch at game up with some interesting links:

http://www.opencascade.org/org/forum/thread_3518/

http://www.opencascade.org/org/forum/thread_8796/

http://www.opencascade.org/org/forum/thread_7427/

This looks promising

This is really interesting…..

http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=show:bAKdNAsFpkg:fAjszQnpqJk:S78yfL1Ucyo&sa=N&ct=rd&cs_p=http://edwin.iband.net/opencascade/gtkmmocascade.tar.bz2&cs_f=gtkmmocascade/MakeBottle.cpp

This google codesearch is something that I knew nothing about.  Learn something new every day. This is very very cool.
I found some code that looks simple enough to try to see if I could get it to work.
I wget’d the gtkmmocascade to see if I could get that to work…
So… never ran across a bz2 file before…  I ran across this site which explains what to do in various formats. http://www.ncsu.edu/it/essentials/managing_files/compress.html

Yehhh… go wolfpack…. Ahem anyway… According to the them this is what you do…..

Decompressing files with .bz or .bz2 endings

For a file with the extension .bz or .bz2, you must first gain access to the bzip and/or bzip2 commands by typing:

add zutils

Then, if the file ends in .bz, you uncompress it by using the command:

bzip -d filename.bz

or, if the file ends in .bz2, you uncompress it by using the command:

bzip2 -d filename.bz2

The decompressed file will appear in your directory listing, and the .bz or .bz2 will be removed.

Why did I know that wasn’t going to work of the get go..
I don’t have bzip but for some reason bzip2 is on my machine.

jonas@Ubuntu4:~/gtkmmocascade$ ls
gtkmmocascade.tar.bz2
jonas@Ubuntu4:~/gtkmmocascade$ bzip2 -d  gtkmmocascade.tar.bz2
bzip2: Can’t open input file gtkmmocascade.tar.bz2: No such file or directory.
jonas@Ubuntu4:~/gtkmmocascade$ bzip2 -d *
bzip2:  gtkmmocascade.tar.bz2 is not a bzip2 file.
jonas@Ubuntu4:~/gtkmmocascade$

Ok… This is not good…
Quick google…

Something looks hosed….
Time for brute force.  I can see the code from google. I guess I can try to copy and save to indivdual files.
brute for succeeds.  Now lets see if I can go anything with this code.
I took a look at make file… My Occ was set up via the deb.  So…. the make file should fail…
I guess I should confirm…

Ok... This was not unexcepted.
Try #2.  I'm going to rename the make file to old and try automake to see what happens

jonas@Ubuntu4:~/gtkmmocascade$ automake

@#%^@  Ok… Should I try to manual fix the make or should I investigate the configure.in or configure.ac.
To the man pages Robin… EECH… Circular logic…. Must be the riddler.
Yet another interesting site.
http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html
Hm…. Page 95 of the tutorial gets interesting with a hello world example…
If you download the PDF resize it to a single page…. and then go page to page versus scrolling.
The documentation was designed that way for presentations..
I really need to understand this gnu file structures so I can use these tools….

    Hey I was looking to do some work in gtk+ and opencascade.

    It seems like ur post is really interesting hehe.

    So did u get occviewer and gtkmm codes working on ur machine??

    im struggling on that too .

    Can you answer me asap??

    thanks mate!

    Well basically no. If memory serves me correctly, I started looking at QT afterwards which looked more interesting to me. The more I got into QT at the time, I didn’t like their terms of use(but that has changed since they when LGPL)
    Then I discovered wxWidgets which was LGPL, and used gtkmm in Linux.
    I was pursuing that activily when Trolltech announced the change to lgpl.
    That really took the winds out of wx sails, life got in the way and I sort of dropped this stuff for a while.
    I just downed the source to HeeksCAD yesterday and it compiled and ran well.
    It uses wxWidgets and my first impression is that its a really nice program.
    If you heart is not set on pursuing gtkmm directly, I suggest studying the code on this project.
    Regards,
    JT
