Forums:

Hi all,

This is Sahaj. I am new to Open CASCADE and want to try it out. I know basics of C++. Although, I am an experienced person in CAD using CATIA.

I just installed Visual Studio Express 2015 for PC in Win7_x64 SP1.

Also, I got a .rar which included OCC in it. It contained some folders. Please refer to the attachment.

I want to build some geometry now and view them in OCC. What are my approaches here?

How do I set-up my VC++ for OCC? Know that I just have installed VC++ out of the box.

Kindly help.

Thanks,

Sahaj.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I read those documents and now trying to build a solution. I have OCC 6.3.1

What I am trying to do is go through this tutorial...

https://occtutorials.wordpress.com/2015/12/04/chapter-o-box-with-hole/

It shows me an error that it cannot open file TKernel.lib.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Sahaj.

I have OCC 6.3.1

Is there some specific reason why you are trying to build obsolete 8-years old OCCT release?
I don't think you will have any luck with Visual Studio 2015 + OCCT 6.3.1 combination.

Thanks Kirill for the reply.

Two things:

1. I guess you are right, I need to find me the latest version.

2. More importantly, OCC 6.3.1 is the version I need to work as it is on what my project is going to be.

But anyway, could you recommend any solution to the problem I mentioned? Or should I try any other version combinations?

Thanks,

Sahaj.
