compile FreeCAD on Windwos with conda

Post by bernd »

I have seen some instructions to compile FreeCAD on conda on Windows on the forum. User _UR did this on regulary basis. Does anyone know where to find these informations?

Conda
I would like to compile FreeCAD inside Conda, not just install FreeCAD inside Conda.

Is it right, that the easiest way to get latest FC binaries under Windows - is to install Anaconda/Miniconda and pull-compile GIT source under it?

No it is not! https://freecadweb.org/downloads.php scroll down a bit to dev releases!

It seems the first post is out of date. I hadn't tried this lately. I'll try to get it working and add to the wiki. Probably just need to pin the version of some package(s)

Something that I have noticed for quite a while is the "Assets" link for 0.19 typically remains closed when opening the releases page. Some of the older versions show the full Assets upon opening.

There have been a few "cannot find it" posts in the Help Forum for exactly that reason.

I do not know if there is a way to make the "Assets" automatically open, but it would be helpful it that could be done.

The date on the top is confusing, but most people would be OK if they saw the available downloads.
