Hi Father

Yes this is a known issue. I read that before.
If this file is available in your compilation directory, could you
manually install it to /usr/lib ?

I have written down the issue and will look into it later.

I tried on a clean install of Debian (virtual machines are such fun).

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/gsohler/openscad.git
cd openscad
git checkout python
git submodule update --init --recursive
sudo ./scripts/uni-get-dependencies.sh

It shows all dependencies are satisfied, but they aren't

sudo apt install libcrypto++-dev
sudo apt install libjpeg-dev
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DEXPERIMENTAL=1 -DENABLE_PYTHON=1 -DENABLE_LIBFIVE ..
make
sudo make install

libfive.so is not installed correctly, so it wasn't a function of
previous mistakes on my part.

Hi Father,

I have written a lot of examples (may be more than 200) to explain
important functions.

But the functions I have written might differ from Guenther's library.

Also you can use visual studio code ( vs code) to use python to write
openscad files. I found this to be much simpler as it has support for
jupyter notebooks.

Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but where is the documentation
for how to use python mode? There are a couple of very basic examples on
the web page, but nothing that I can find that tells what functions are
available or how they map to OpenSCAD native functionality.

The last step fails because it wants superuser privileges to move
the executable into /usr/local/bin, but it runs just fine.

Sanjeev,

I won't be able to resolve the issues with the MacOS build,

somebody would sponsor me one for the purpose of create MacOS builds

But I have found that there is some instructions how to compile
for MacOS

Hi Guenther,

Does it work on macbook air?
I think , I looked at it sometime ago, but was not very
clear on how to install it.

Also, how to use my python library after installation is
another point, I wanted to understand.

So I was just waiting for your official version to be
released as I understand this is in process.

Hi Sanjeev,

my openscad fork is not more difficult to install than the
original ones.
It's also as easy as running the windows installer.
One advantage of my fork against other openscad
python-wrappers is:
As python is sitting right inside openscad, Scenarios like
altering point data become possible like that

c=complicated_solid();
pts,tris = c.mesh()

alter pts ...

new_solid = polyhedron(pts, tris)

This is definitely not possible with any external python
openscad wrapper solution ...

cheers ...

not.

yep, put it to the list.
in my fork i use libhpeg to read the rendering textures from jpeg files ...
(i still scheduled to use "use" instead of "texture" command to import jpeg
files ...)

best option would be to link libfive and libjpeg statically as it does in
MXE.
Thank you for pointing out ...

Also note that you have a libjpeg-devel dependency that the main trunk
does not.

Hi Father

Yes this is a known issue. I read that before.
If this file is available in your compilation directory, could you
manually install it to /usr/lib ?

I have written down the issue and will look into it later.

I tried on a clean install of Debian (virtual machines are such fun).

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/gsohler/openscad.git
cd openscad
git checkout python
git submodule update --init --recursive
sudo ./scripts/uni-get-dependencies.sh

It shows all dependencies are satisfied, but they aren't

sudo apt install libcrypto++-dev
sudo apt install libjpeg-dev
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DEXPERIMENTAL=1 -DENABLE_PYTHON=1 -DENABLE_LIBFIVE ..
make
sudo make install

libfive.so is not installed correctly, so it wasn't a function of
previous mistakes on my part.

Hi Father,

I have written a lot of examples (may be more than 200) to explain
important functions.

But the functions I have written might differ from Guenther's library.

Also you can use visual studio code ( vs code) to use python to write
openscad files. I found this to be much simpler as it has support for
jupyter notebooks.

Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but where is the
documentation for how to use python mode? There are a couple of very basic
examples on the web page, but nothing that I can find that tells what
functions are available or how they map to OpenSCAD native functionality.

It is not very neat, but still great to see this :)

Addendum: It didn't move libfive.so into the appropriate spot. I

The last step fails because it wants superuser privileges to
move the executable into /usr/local/bin, but it runs just fine.

Sanjeev,

I won't be able to resolve the issues with the MacOS build,
Unfortunately I dont own any mac and it doesn't look yet like
somebody would sponsor me one for the purpose of create MacOS builds

But I have found that there is some instructions how to
compile for MacOS
