Mac build fix and header bug

[Samuel Luckenbill]

Hello developers,

I am planning to try dxf2gcode for some sculpture plasma cutting this week. 

I have a git branch with changes to fix the mac OS build, document the mac install in the README, and to make it respect the postprocessor comment format in the header (my machine uses square brackets instead of parens). 

I may make other plasma-specific improvements if the tool works well in our process.

Would you like the patch? I am unsure of how to share it back.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam, thanks for the offer to help make dxf2gcode better on Mac!

The easiest way to share code is probably by publishing a link to your
branch, assuming it's on a publicly accessible git server somewhere
(like github).

If there's no public git server, the second best option is to use "git
format-patch" to export your branch to a series of patch files, and
attach those to an email to the dxf2gcode-dev mailing list.

I cloned dxf2gcode from sourceforge. Is it on github too? 

Does sourceforge have a way to submit a pull request?

[Christian Kohlöffel]

Hi Sam, 

For sure, we want that patch. There are several ways how to participate. If you plan to make several commits it would be the best to grant you developer rights to the project.

If you agree, please send me your SourceForge account.

 

Regards Christian

No, dxf2gcode is developed on Source Forge. There may be forks on
github, but SF has the official repo.

Yes, i believe so, though I've never used it personally and I don't know
how well it works. I would guess it's something like this:

* Log in to SourceForge with your SF account.

* Go to the dxf2gcode project, click "Fork".

* Add your SF repo as a remote in your local clone.

* Push your branch to your SF repo.

* Make a merge request from your branch to the main "develop" branch.


Warning: Untested! I'm more of a github guy...

So I tried building dxf2gcode on my Mac (OS X 10.11.6). I have made some progress, but still no cigar.

The first hurdle is that make_tr.py and make_py_uic.py don’t know about Mac OS/Darwin as a platform, so I had to tell them in lines 11 and 27, respectively, like this:

    if "linux" in sys.platform.lower() or "unix" in sys.platform.lower() or "darwin" in sys.platform.lower():

Also, Mac OS doesn’t like \\ in path names, so in setup.py I had to change line 51 like this:

    icon="images/DXF2GCODE-001.ico",

Another thing is that the paths to the dependencies (installed on my machine through Homebrew and Homebrew’s python3 in /usr/local/Cellar/python/ and /usr/local/opt/python and Qt5 in /usr/local/Cellar/qt/ and /usr/local/opt/qt/) are not found. I guess this is a problem of my environment, not of dxf2gcode.

In make_tr.py I added the path to the lrelease binary in line 16 like this:

    names = ["/usr/bin/lrelease-qt5", "/usr/bin/lrelease5", "/usr/bin/lrelease", "/usr/local/opt/qt/bin/lrelease"]

In setup.py I had to change the path to PyOpenGL in line 21 like this:

    path_base = "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/OpenGL"

The remaining problem is that setup.py does not find QtCore (and some modules are reported as missing as well, see terminal output at the end of this message). It looks for the file here:

    /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.6.5_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore

I guess this is because it derives this path from the path of the python installation used to execute setup.py (/usr/local/Cellar/python/). But on my machine, QtCore is actually here:

    Tills-MacBook-Air:dxf2gcode-20170925 admin$ find /usr -iname QtCore

    /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.11.1/include/QtCore

    /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.11.1/lib/QtCore.framework/QtCore

    /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.11.1/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/Headers/5.11.1/QtCore

    /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.11.1/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/Headers/QtCore

    /usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.11.1/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore

    /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore

I do not know how to tell setup.py the correct path to QtCore. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have some git branches that fix some bugs and make it build on mac. I decided not to use dxf2gcode, so stopped working on it, but I have attached the patches if someone wants to deal with committing them.
