Weekly builds, which one to use?

Post by freedman »

I go to this page:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bund ... kly-builds

I scroll down and don't see one that targets Windows. :? Help!
Thanks

Yeah, the main focus is on Linux and Mac builds, those for Windows are often outdated. This week they even disappeared for some reason but I guess that they will be back soon.

I will answer my own question:
I went to the FreeCAD main page and clicked on this (pic) which seemed correct, I think this link isn't set up correctly because it has no Windows code.

Actually, all the links leading to Conda builds are the same:

That's because Conda builds for all 3 operating systems are stored on the same GitHub page. It was like that also before. What changed now is that there are no Windows builds available on that page.

It's not working anymore because I tried to update to occt7.6. This included also an update to a newer smesh. But somehow linking the newer smesh on windows doesn't work. Additional something on the freecad side changed and now the cmake configuration fails to find coin3d.

For the coin3d part it could not be related to this thread, in the end, there is a new commit from @wmayer if I don't remember wrong that has changed something related to cmake and coin3d.

I think it's possible to install previous builds in conda but the bundles are unfortunately deleted from github, someone would have to reupload or it would have to be re bundled.

we can switch back to occt7.5. then the last non-failing build of freecad will be used. But better to resolve the remaining issue with smesh:

This is not my intention
I just would like to keep an old release until the new one is built

That would help, but in general it would be nice, if possible, that the previous release would be deleted only if there is a successful new build
