Build Debian Packages

Requirement: libarea

HeeksCAD requires libarea, this section will explain how to build and install libarea using the Debian way. Install build dependencies

sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential debhelper cmake libboost-python-dev Fetch sources

svn checkout http://libarea.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ libarea cd libarea Build packages

dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc

This will produces 3 packages: libarea0, libarea-dev and python-area. Install packages

cd .. sudo dpkg -i libarea*.deb python-area*.deb HeeksCAD

When libarea is correctly installed, we can build HeeksCAD packages the same way. Install build dependencies

On system released before 2013 (ie. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 12.04 LTS): sudo apt-get install libopencascade-visualization-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libgtkglext1-dev python-dev

On more recent system: sudo apt-get install liboce-visualization-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libgtkglext1-dev python-dev Fetch sources

svn checkout https://github.com/danheeks/heekscad/trunk/ heekscad cd heekscad Build packages

dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc

This will produces 4 packages: heekscad, heekscad-dev, libheekstinyxml0 and libheekstinyxml-dev Install run-time dependencies

If you want a fully translated version: sudo apt-get install wx2.8-i18n Install packages

cd .. sudo dpkg -i heeks.deb
