Tool chain experiments for Torch Table programming
Initial tests ChuckH 22:52, 2 December 2012 (CET)
- environment: Windows XP SP3 laptop
- software installation
- inkscape download inkscape 0.48.2, standard Windows exe installer to Program Files/Inkscape
- 'gcodetools download gcodetools v1.7 here and unpack into Inkscape subdirectory per instructions.
- implicitCAD
- Haskell Platform download installer here. Some Haskell packages are not too happy with Windows path name conventions, particularly spaces inside filenames. I installed at C:\Haskell_Platform instead of the default C:\Program Files\Haskell_Platform. However, this may not be necessary.
- download implicitCAD using cabal (see [instructions]), but it does not build properly. (Unfortunately I did not record exactly my sequence of steps here.)
- patch implicitCAD files to enable Windows install. File:ImplicitCADWindowsPatch0.docThis patch made it compile for me, at the cost of disabling PNG output (not necessary for our toolchain) and disabling file includes (probably painful; need workaround).
