[Gmsh] Compiling gmsh with OCC

[gus.wolfgramm at xtra.co.nz]

Hello

This is my first post, so thanks for the opportunity. I am using Windows XP Home.

I have unsuccessfully tried to compile gmsh 2.0.7 with OCC support with MinGW/MSys. I used --with-gsl-prefix=c:/msys/1.0/local –with-fltk-prefix=c:/msys/1.0/local –enable-occ –with-occ-prefix=c:/Program\ Files/OpenCascade/ros/win32 ….On the othr hand, compiling with just gsl and fltk prefixes was successful. I have attached the output of ./configure as well as the conf.log for the former. If relevant, gmsh, gsl and fltk were installed in c:/msys/1.0/home/oem/ Hope this is sufficient information.

Finally, the point to this is that I am trying to make an application that meshes imported STEP and IGES geometries for BEM analysis. I intend on using the gmsh 2.0.7 mesh module to do this and am trying to extract the relevant parts from the source. The import stage is based on the OCC import/export example ’IE’ (VS solution - c# GUI, VC++ inner workings). From one of the solution's VC++ projects I am trying to link to the gmsh library. This I have built (without OCC support) using MinGW/MSys. The library consists of a bunch of .a files (e.g. libGMeshGeo.a) which I think are UNIX static library files and not .lib files as I was expecting.

QUESTION:

Can I link to these files from the application previously described? Are they compatible for my purposes?

Thanks for any help available. I am new to this kind of programming so please forgive any glaring omissions.
