Hello,
I just stumbled over occ when looking for a powerfull, expandable open-source CAD-project. Everything looks perfect to me so far but... Why is occ using QT 2.X.X ? And is compiled with the gcc 2.95 compiler ? I am working under suse linux 9.0 / KDE3 and somehow dislike the idea of downgrading from the most recent tools.... By the way: I tried it with some QT 3.X and gcc 3.3, it wont work (why should it). The big question: Has anybody a version running with QT 3 and gcc 3.3? Are there any plans porting it to these tools (
Version 6.X...)
Thank you all for replies

Hi Nino,
Since next public version Open CASCADE will support gcc 3.2 (our clients have just received v5.1.1 with that support).
Qt is used only for a few samples and the Tutorial, not for the core itself. We had to stick to v2.3 since there is a non-commercial edition for Windows (unlike Qt3.x). This enables a single source code for all platforms. However port on Qt 3.x should be straightforward.
Best regards,

Does this mean that next version of Open Cascade for Windows will be directly compilable under Cygwin/MinGW tools? Or this is just true for Unix/Linux operating systems?

You do not necessary need to downgrade anything within your system.
Just add the gcc2.95.x compiler to your system and swap the link for the "new" old gcc-compiler.
The same goes for qt2.3
For example: SuSE Linux 8.0/8.2 has two qt-versions, being instaled parallel on it: 2.3 and 3.x. So just change the library-path ffor the OCC environment-variables and you will be fine.
Of course, a portation on the new QT and gcc would be a fine thing. But remember: There may be problems here and there later on when using OCC.
Good luck and let us all know, if you did succeed !
