The general instructions are outlined in the IfcOpenShell repository, and are as follows:
- Get the source code of IfcOpenShell from its main repository.
- Gather all dependencies for compiling, including a C++ compiler, CMake, and Make, and the development files for Boost, libxml2, OpenCASCADE, SWIG, Python, and OpenCOLLADA (optional). Most of these components are strictly optional, however, for use with FreeCAD they should all be installed. OpenCOLLADA is optional as it only provides DAE support for the
IfcConvert
binary. - Run
cmake
to generate aMakefile
, then start the compilation by runningmake
. - Install the
ifcopenshell
Python module in the appropriatesite-packages/
directory so that it is found by FreeCAD.
