Comment on mysqlcc revisited – making it work with mysql 5.5 by Niels Horn

I’m sorry but I don’t use Windows at all, so I have no way to build an executable for you.
You will need to find someone who can apply the patch and compile it on a Windows machine…

Comment on FreeCAD 0.12.5284 and OpenCASCADE 6.5.2 – Working together on Slackware by Chris

Hello Niels!

Thank you for your great packages!

I just tested the new build and the sketcher is now working.
But when trying to open the “draft”-menu, I get: “local variable ‘DraftTools’ referenced before assignment”,
and when leaving it:
‘module’ object has no attribute ‘activeDraftCommand’

BTW: You can test the installation in the “Test framework” menu with “self test”

Greetings, Chris

It is a lot better, thanks!
The Sketcher GUI error message is gone, all the tools icons show up, things seem to work normally (but this is the first time I use this software so I will only be able to check if everything works as I got through the tutorial).

I do get the following message on the shell at startup though. I don’t know if it is serious or not:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/opt/FreeCAD/Mod/Draft/InitGui.py”, line 197, in Initialize
self.appendToolbar(str(DraftTools.translate(”draft”,”Draft creation tools”)),self.cmdList)
UnboundLocalError: local variable ‘DraftTools’ referenced before assignment

I also just noticed that at startups this one says “FreeCAD 0.13, Libs: 0.13RUnknown” which doesn’t match the package’s numbering.
Help->About FreeCAD also shows a mix of 0.12 and 0.13.
Not an issue, but I’m curious did you build this one from a daily 0.13 build?

Feel free to communicate by email if you don’t want to clutter your blog.

Hi again,

I did some testing and built a new package.
Can you test if it works fine for you?
You can download it here.

Note: This is a temporary location…

Thanks for the quick response Niels.

All the eigen2 files seem to be in /usr/include/eigen2 and by default libeigen3-dev installs in /usr/local/include/eigen3 so it might be possible to have them both installed.

Hi, I did not create a new blacklist.conf, I just created a new configuration file called rt2800.conf in /etc/modprobe.d. Usually these "xxxx.d" directories can contain several files which all are read during configuration, just like /etc/udev/rules.d etc. My rt2800.conf file just contains one line:

blacklist rt2800pci

The symlink you can create like this (as root):

# cd /lib/firmware
# ln -s rt2860.bin rt3090.bin

That's it!
