This repository contains the source code of SolveSpace, a parametric 2d/3d CAD.

Binary packages for Mac OS X and Windows are available via GitHub releases.

See below.

You will need CMake, libpng, zlib, json-c, fontconfig, freetype, gtkmm 2.4, pangomm 1.4, OpenGL and OpenGL GLU. To build tests, you will need cairo. On a Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu) these can be installed with:

apt-get install libpng-dev libjson-c-dev libfreetype6-dev \
                libfontconfig1-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libpangomm-1.4-dev \
                libcairo2-dev libgl-dev libglu-dev cmake

Before building, check out the necessary submodules:

git submodule update --init extlib/libdxfrw

After that, build SolveSpace as following:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make
sudo make install

A fully functional port to GTK3 is available, but not recommended for use due to bugs in this toolkit.

You will need CMake and a Windows cross-compiler. On a Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu) these can be installed with:

apt-get install cmake mingw-w64

Before building, check out the necessary submodules:

git submodule update --init

After that, build 32-bit SolveSpace as following:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake \
         -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make

Or, build 64-bit SolveSpace as following:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw64.cmake \
         -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make

The application is built as build/src/solvespace.exe.

Space Navigator support will not be available.

You will need XCode tools, CMake, libpng and Freetype. To build tests, you will need cairo. Assuming you use homebrew, these can be installed with:

brew install cmake libpng freetype cairo

XCode has to be installed via AppStore; it requires a free Apple ID.

Before building, check out the necessary submodules:

git submodule update --init extlib/libdxfrw

After that, build SolveSpace as following:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make

The app bundle is built in build/src/solvespace.app.

You will need git, cmake and Visual C++.

Check out the git submodules. Create a directory build in the source tree and point cmake-gui to the source tree and that directory. Press "Configure" and "Generate", then open build\solvespace.sln with Visual C++ and build it.

First, ensure that git and cl (the Visual C++ compiler driver) are in your %PATH%; the latter is usually done by invoking vcvarsall.bat from your Visual Studio install. Then, run the following in cmd or PowerShell:

git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
nmake

It is also possible to build SolveSpace using MinGW, though Space Navigator support will be disabled.

First, ensure that git and gcc are in your $PATH. Then, run the following in bash:

git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make
