INSTALL
This file is contains installation instructions for the
STEP Class Library.
These installation requires that you have the following software
available:
- C and C++ compilers (only gcc has been tested recently)
- bison, byacc, or yacc (only bison has been tested recently)
- flex or lex (only flex has been tested recently)
- CMake
- mingw (only on Windows)
--------------------
Installation
--------------------
* Known to work on Linux, OSX, and Windows
* Build system uses CMake now: configure, Makefile, and all
autotools files have been removed, as has mkProbe.
* To build:
cd scl
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
* Build options (append to the 'cmake ..' line):
-DBUILD_SCHEMAS="path/to/schema.exp;path/to/schema2.exp"
- this generates c++ for the schema, and compiles it into a
library. Also works with directories, as long as each dir only
has one express file.
- multiple files/directories are separated by semicolons
- this also builds a 'p21read' program, which reads one step file
and writes another. It may change whitespace or remove comments;
otherwise, the input and output files should be identical. If
they are not identical, either the file does not match the
schema, or SCL generated incorrect source code.
-DBUILD_SCHEMAS=ALL
- Added to make use of ctest easier. If BUILD_SCHEMAS == ALL,
then CMake adds each *.exp file found in data/.
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
- this causes binaries to be built without debugging information
- without this, cmake defaults to a Debug build
