Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
### Via official binary packages
|
|
|
|
_Official_ release binary packages for macOS (>=10.6 64-bit) and Windows (>=Vista 32-bit) are
|
|
available via [GitHub releases][rel]. These packages are automatically built by
|
|
the SolveSpace maintainers for each stable release.
|
|
|
|
[rel]: https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/releases
|
|
|
|
### Via Snap Store
|
|
|
|
Builds from master are automatically released to the `edge` channel in the Snap Store. Those packages contain the latest improvements, but receive less testing than release builds.
|
|
|
|
Future official releases will appear in the `stable` channel.
|
|
|
|
[](https://snapcraft.io/solvespace)
|
|
|
|
Or install from a terminal:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
snap install --edge solvespace
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Via third-party binary packages
|
|
|
|
_Third-party_ nightly binary packages for Debian and Ubuntu are available
|
|
via [notesalexp.org][notesalexp]. These packages are automatically built from non-released
|
|
source code. The SolveSpace maintainers do not control the contents of these packages
|
|
and cannot guarantee their functionality.

Building on Linux
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
### Building for Linux
|
|
|
|
You will need the usual build tools, CMake, zlib, libpng, cairo, freetype.
|
|
To build the GUI, you will need fontconfig, gtkmm 3.0 (version 3.16 or later), pangomm 1.4,
|
|
OpenGL and OpenGL GLU, and optionally, the Space Navigator client library.
|
|
On a Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu) these can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install git build-essential cmake zlib1g-dev libpng-dev \
|
|
libcairo2-dev libfreetype6-dev libjson-c-dev \
|
|
libfontconfig1-dev libgtkmm-3.0-dev libpangomm-1.4-dev \
|
|
libgl-dev libglu-dev libspnav-dev
|
|
|
|
On a Redhat derivative (e.g. Fedora) the dependencies can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install git gcc-c++ cmake zlib-devel libpng-devel \
|
|
cairo-devel freetype-devel json-c-devel \
|
|
fontconfig-devel gtkmm30-devel pangomm-devel \
|
|
mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel libspnav-devel
|
|
|
|
Before building, check out the project and the necessary submodules:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace
|
|
cd solvespace
|
|
git submodule update --init extlib/libdxfrw extlib/flatbuffers extlib/q3d extlib/mimalloc
|
|
|
|
After that, build SolveSpace as following:
|
|
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
The graphical interface is built as `build/bin/solvespace`, and the command-line interface
|
|
is built as `build/bin/solvespace-cli`. It is possible to build only the command-line interface
|
|
by passing the `-DENABLE_GUI=OFF` flag to the cmake invocation.
|
|
|
|
### Building for Windows
|
|
|
|
You will need the usual build tools, CMake, a Windows cross-compiler, and flatc.
|
|
On a Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu) these can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
apt-get install git build-essential cmake mingw-w64 libflatbuffers-dev
|
|
|
|
Before building, check out the project and the necessary submodules:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace
|
|
cd solvespace
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
|
|
After that, build 32-bit SolveSpace as following:
|
|
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake \
|
|
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
|
|
-DFLATC=$(which flatc)
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Or, build 64-bit SolveSpace as following:
|
|
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw64.cmake \
|
|
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
|
|
-DFLATC=$(which flatc)
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
The graphical interface is built as `build/bin/solvespace.exe`, and the command-line interface
|
|
is built as `build/bin/solvespace-cli.exe`.
|
|
|
|
Space Navigator support will not be available.
|
|
|
|
If using Ubuntu to cross-compile, Ubuntu 17.10 or newer (or, alternatively, MinGW from the Ubuntu
|
|
17.10 repositories) is required.
|
|
|
|
Building on macOS
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
You will need git, XCode tools and CMake. Git and CMake can be installed
|
|
via [Homebrew][]:
|
|
|
|
brew install git cmake
|
|
|
|
XCode has to be installed via AppStore or [the Apple website][appledeveloper];
|
|
it requires a free Apple ID.
|
|
|
|
Before building, check out the project and the necessary submodules:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace
|
|
cd solvespace
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
|
|
After that, build SolveSpace as following:
|
|
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, generate an XCode project, open it, and build the "Release" scheme:
|
|
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake .. -G Xcode
|
|
|
|
The application is built in `build/bin/SolveSpace.app`, the graphical interface executable
|
|
is `build/bin/SolveSpace.app/Contents/MacOS/SolveSpace`, and the command-line interface executable
|
|
is `build/bin/SolveSpace.app/Contents/MacOS/solvespace-cli`.
|

[appledeveloper]: https://developer.apple.com/download/
|
|
|
|
Building on OpenBSD
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
You will need git, cmake, libexecinfo, libpng, gtk3mm and pangomm.
|
|
These can be installed from the ports tree:
|
|
|
|
pkg_add -U git cmake libexecinfo png json-c gtk3mm pangomm
|
|
|
|
Before building, check out the project and the necessary submodules:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace
|
|
cd solvespace
|
|
git submodule update --init extlib/libdxfrw extlib/flatbuffers extlib/q3d extlib/mimalloc
|
|
|
|
After that, build SolveSpace as following:
|
|
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, on OpenBSD, the produced executables are not filesystem location independent
|
|
and must be installed before use. By default, the graphical interface is installed to
|
|
`/usr/local/bin/solvespace`, and the command-line interface is built as
|
|
`/usr/local/bin/solvespace-cli`. It is possible to build only the command-line interface
|
|
by passing the `-DENABLE_GUI=OFF` flag to the cmake invocation.
|
|
|
|
Building on Windows
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
You will need [git][gitwin], [cmake][cmakewin] and a C++ compiler
|
|
(either Visual C++ or MinGW). If using Visual C++, Visual Studio 2015
|
|
or later is required.
|
|
|
|
### Building with Visual Studio IDE
|
|
|
|
Check out the git submodules. Create a directory `build` in
|
|
the source tree and point cmake-gui to the source tree and that directory.
|
|
Press "Configure" and "Generate", then open `build\solvespace.sln` with
|
|
Visual C++ and build it.
|
|
|
|
### Building with Visual Studio in a command prompt
|
|
|
|
First, ensure that git and cl (the Visual C++ compiler driver) are in your
|
|
`%PATH%`; the latter is usually done by invoking `vcvarsall.bat` from your
|
|
Visual Studio install. Then, run the following in cmd or PowerShell:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace
|
|
cd solvespace
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
|
|
nmake
|
|
|
|
### Building with MinGW
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to build SolveSpace using [MinGW][mingw], though
|
|
Space Navigator support will be disabled.
|
|
|
|
First, ensure that git and gcc are in your `$PATH`. Then, run the following
|
|
in bash:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace
|
|
cd solvespace
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
|
|
make
