Newbie here just got VS 2008 and source code installed

[Ralph Freshour]

I just got VS 2008 installed and got SVN installed on my Win7 PC.

I'm following Dan's start up instructions here: https://code.google.com/archive/p/heekscnc/wikis/Compiling.wiki

When I do Build Project I get this:

1>------ Build started: Project: HeeksCNC, Configuration: Unicode Release Win32 ------

1>Compiling...

1>cl : Command line warning D9024 : unrecognized source file type '\lib\vc_dll\mswu', object file assumed

1>cl : Command line warning D9027 : source file '\lib\vc_dll\mswu' ignored

1>stdafx.cpp

1>c:\dev\heekscnc1.0wc\src\stdafx.h(17) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/wx.h': No such file or directory

1>Project : warning PRJ0018 : The following environment variables were not found:

1>$(LIBAREA_PATH)

1>$(HEEKSCAD1PATH)

1>$(WXWIN)

1>$(CASROOT)

1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Dev\HeeksCNC1.0wc\src\Unicode Release\BuildLog.htm"

1>HeeksCNC - 1 error(s), 2 warning(s)

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I don't see the wx folder in my source code?

FYI - I'm interested in modifying HeeksCAM to support low cost, low power (< 10 watts) laser machines. If anyone has any information or any interest in this kind of branch, please let me know. I could use all the help I can get.

I also have a question about how my modified source code is handled with SVN. I'm guessing I will be updating my code to SVN, but how is this managed with others updating their code as well? Should I be working in a dedicated branch?

Thanks for any help...

Ralph,

The first line of the instructions is

"
You need to build HeeksCAD ( see http://code.google.com/p/heekscad/wiki/CompilingHeeksCAD1_0forWindows ), because HeeksCNC is an add-in for HeeksCAD.
"

How did you get on building HeeksCAD ( the CAD part )?

Dan Heeks.

Yeah, I see I missed that first part.

I'm down to this part:

(1) "Copy 4 of the dlls that get made from C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\lib\vc_dll to HeeksCAD1.0 ( the folder you checked out this project to ).

They are: wxbase28u_vc_custom.dll wxmsw28u_aui_vc_custom.dll wxmsw28u_core_vc_custom.dll wxmsw28u_gl_vc_custom.dll"

I did not find these 4 files in C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\lib\ but I did fine them already in my C:\Program Files (x86)\HeeksCNC 1.1 folder. Is that location ok?

(2) "Make an environment variable called CASROOT with value of C:\OpenCASCADE6.5.2\ros"

I downloaded and unzipped OpenCascade but I didn't see an install file...how do I install the OpenCascade software?

Thanks...

[Ralph Freshour]

Any more help with this?

[Dan Heeks]

You should build the wx dlls, but yes they should be the same as the ones that come with HeeksCNC.

Which link are you using for OpenCASCADE?

Dan.

[Ralph Freshour]

I'm using the one you provided:  http://www.opencascade.org/getocc/download/loadocc/ ( OpenCASCADE652.exe )
