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. This 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).
