Updating to 0.8.1

[Rob McDonald]

Facing build problems on Windows, I decided to update to 0.8.1.  While its build is much quieter, I'm still having troubles.

First, I didn't even realize that 0.8.1 had been tagged.  I really appreciate the effort that Chris and Clifford have put in over the years -- it is pretty amazing.  I would have thought that so many changes would have warranted a larger version bump.  Oh well.

That said -- I have to complain that there was no sort of announcement made about the 0.8.1 release.  Or if there was, I wasn't signed up in the right place -- and I would have expected it to be mentioned on this mailing list.  I don't check the StepCODE website and git repo regularly -- typically only when I'm having trouble.  I'm signed up for this group so I can catch anything that might be of interest.  This is not exactly a fast moving project or a high traffic list.  I can't make use of your amazing contributions if I don't even know they exist.

Background:

As discussed in prior threads, OpenVSP uses the SuperBuild model and uses STEPCode as an ExternalProject_add.  Our use of SC was stubbed out in the examples/ap203min directory to provide a resource.  I see that at some point, Mark made changes to that example -- which were the exact changes I needed to get OpenVSP to build against the updated version.  So, the first part of including ap203min in the tree worked.  Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that the ExternalProject_add and FindSTEPCODE.cmake as listed there would not work anymore.  I will try to fix them -- once I figure out the fixes to get OpenVSP building with 0.8.1.

First, something in STEPCode now obeys CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX instead of SC_INSTALL_PREFIX.  The install step was failing because of lack of permissions to write to the default location.  I would support getting rid of SC_INSTALL_PREFIX entirely -- but I think both are currently needed to get the install to go to a desired location.  (IMHO, SC_INSTALL_PREFIX and SC_BUILD_TYPE should be replaced with the canonical CMAKE versions that are standard practice, SC_FOO variables should be used for SC specific stuff.).  

Next, a bunch of the static libraries (on windows) used to be named things like libstepcore.lib, libsteputils.lib -- they have now dropped the 'lib'.  Except for libexppp.lib for some reason.  I don't really care about the name change, but I wanted to confirm that it was intentional.  I have not tried on Mac and Linux yet to see if those names have changed.

From what I can tell, the ${schema} libraries are not installed.  The header files are installed to include, but the *.lib is not installed to lib and the *.dll is not installed to bin.

I had to change -DSC_BUILD_SCHEMAS=ap203/ap203.exp to -DSC_BUILD_SCHEMAS=ap203 to get it to build the schema.  The documentation still indicates that I should set a path -- but that seems like it should point to data/ap203/ap203.exp.  The docs also say that it will build all schemas -- perhaps that got turned off because I passed a non-empty variable -- but since it did not match what was expected, it got nothing at all.

What has happened to the base library?  The website documentation still talks about it, but I can't find it in the build anywhere.

My current known problems...

1) the schema does not install.  I can copy it manually.

2) I still have a bunch of unresolved symbols (list below)

Thanks in advance for any help,

Rob
