[BlenderBIM] Compile for FreeBSD

1. A by atomkarinca on 15 Mar 2023, edited 15 Mar 2023 #

   Hi everyone.

   Is there a way that I can compile BlenderBIM on FreeBSD? I have tried the Linux version but it gives library errors. I don't think I should've done this but I also tried symlinking the libraries, and finally got stuck at libc.so.6.

   @aothms might know.

   In principle, compiling ifcopenshell should be as simple as running https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/commits/v0.7.0/nix/build-all.py

   You might get quite far with taking an existing blenderbim package and substituting the ifcopenshell module in it.

   @aothms, there is already a FreeBSD port for ifcopenshell. Can this be used or do I still have to compile ifcopenshell?

   It doesn't look promising, it would be too old:

   Broken BROKEN: error: no viable overloaded '='

   @atomkarinca by the way you may have already read it but the compilation instructions are written out in detail here: https://blenderbim.org/docs-python/ifcopenshell/installation.html

   @aothms and @Moult thank you. I have been going through those compilation instrucations and also the Makefile I have mentioned. I guess first I should compile it myself and when it successfully compiles, then I should try to make a package file.

   For now I guess I got all the dependencies right and cmake finished successfully. I'm waiting for make.
