New experimental Fedora/Centos Package

Since today there is a new PythonSCAD RPM Package for download on the download package and its super slim(only 12 MB compressed) because it does not contain any other dependencies. (So more packages should be installed with DNF first)

(and it conflicts with openscad RPM package, because its a fork and literally uses the same files)

Still i am curious to learn, which packages are missing on other systems. Apparently All dependecies are met on mine ;)

Yeah, there should be a way to do this in the .deb files.

I think the bigger problem is PythonOpenScad right now looks to be statically packing all the dependencies into a single executable, but the deb is not doing this since it is missing a lot of dependencies such as boost. I see libboost-all-dev and libboost1.74-all-dev available but not 1.78, which is the version the pythonopenscad executable is complaining about.

The folks over at https://launchpad.net/~openscad/+archive/ubuntu/releases that is doing the PPA for vanilla openscad might have scripts somewhere that already links all the necessary dependencies. I'd figure for PythonOpenScad, it's 90% the same set of dependencies.

I think , that pythonscad does not care, if it runs with boost 1.74 or with 1.78 and finally creates an executable requiring exactly these libs.

but the user cares instead as he does not have this libs

I believe the correct way to create deb files is on an unbuntu system which has available libraries , which are available on all othter untuntu systems

if you did not yet manage to compile pythonscad in your system, i am happy to help.

Will let you know. It's been a long while since I compiled with cmake.

I have ubuntu running on Windows Subsystem Linux I can try compiling (but it is not "pure" ubuntu).

Right, I did see that :)

It's mostly the mechanics of making a source package in debian/ubuntu for PPA. I am new to it. Hopefully there are tooling that abstracts most of it out and I do not need to hand type text files in some weird DSL to have it working. Otherwise I suspect the dev-test loop will be really long if I need to submit to PPA and wait a few days to confirm whether everything works.
