F5 works, then after an error, stops
Hi folks,
This has been annoying me for ages, but I had assumed I was at fault
somewhere and I would come across the answer all in good time. However I
tried to track down my error today, but no amount of searching could solve
it.
If I make a simple script like this to illustrate:
$fn=30;
difference(){
color("red") cube([4,5,6]);
color("blue") cylinder(12,3,3);
}
color("green") cube([1,1,16],true);
and as I added the the three elements, at each stage I could preview with F5
and render with F6.
However once I deliberately spelled "green" as "gree", in the last line, I
got an error as expected with F5. F6 did its best and showed the first two
elements and also reported the error for the third.
This where my confusion comes in, as after returning color to "green", the
F5 no longer renders anything, though F6 renders all three elements
properly. If I save the file, and reload it, F5 will work again. I have
tried Flushing the Caches, but that does not help.
What am I missing?

Hi Rob,
Is there any good reason for you to use such an old revision of OpenSCAD?
We are in 2018 and you still use an early 2015 version.
Upgrade to a newer one. I cannot reproduce your error with my setup.

I cannot find your version? I am not a Linux hot-shot so any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Michael for that suggestion, here is the info.
I have followed the advice on the OpenSCAD page to allow updating from

I'm experiencing a similar issue with a 2018 build on Debian. I think it's
worth an error report on github. I wonder if it's some kind of issue with a

Looks like https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1875
Likely updating, such that OpenCSG 1.4.2 is used, would help.

Hi Florian and everybody else,
Please excuse the nature of this reply (ie obliquely about OpenSCAD),
but as I stated in a previous post I am do not have a very deep
understanding of Linux, and compiling libraries and applications onto
the system is one of my (many?) weakest points. So here I go...
In preparation I have
sudo apt remove openscad
then I have visited this page,
https://sourceforge.net/projects/glew/files/glew/2.0.0/ to the latest
OpenCSG (I hope)
and installed advised build tools with
sudo apt-get install build-essential libxmu-dev libxi-dev libgl-dev
libosmesa-dev git
then followed links to
and downloaded this version "glew-2.0.0".
Extracted it to a folder. Entered the folder with a Terminal
and executed the following commands...
make
sudo make install
make clean
These appeared to run OK.
I then reinstalled OpenScad
sudo apt install openscad
Which again worked without a hitch, and openSCAD reappeared and works,
however the "F5+error" problem remains and none of what I have done
above appears to have made any difference.
Here is the start of the current library/build dump,
OpenSCAD Version: 2015.03-2
System information: Linux 4.4.0-116-generic #140-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 12
21:23:04 UTC 2018 x86_64 Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS 4 CPUs 3.85 GB RAM
Compiler: GCC "5.4.0 20160609" 64bit
Boost version: 1_58
Eigen version: 3.2.92
CGAL version, kernels: 4.7, Cartesian, Extended_cartesian, Epeck
OpenCSG version: OpenCSG 1.4.0
The items in red have not changed, so I still have the same OpenSCAD and
OpenCSG versions.
Please let me apologise first, I don't expect people to micro-manage me,
as your (and everybody else's!!) time is valuable. However if anyone
could identify where I am going wrong and point me in the right
direction it would be much appreciated eg a tutorial they can recommend.
I would like to be able compile versions of OpenSCAD eventually to try
out new features.
Many thanks in advance,
Rob
PS Apologies Florian for the PM I overlooked hitting the reply to the
group, and did not intend to heap that reply on you.
