Ubuntu22.04下源码编译安装pythonocc-7.8

本文介绍Ubuntu下手动编译安装pythonocc，及安装过程遇到的各种坑

基本依赖安装

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y wget libglu1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev build-essential cmake libfreetype6-dev tk-dev python3-dev rapidjson-dev python3 git python3-pip libpcre2-dev

安装SWIG工具

SWIG是一个用来把C/C++程序和Perl，Python，Ruby，Tcl等脚本语言连接起来的接口编译器。它的工作原理是获取C/C++头文件的声明，并使用它们生成可以访问底层C/C++代码的脚本语言

https://github.com/swig/swig

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swig-4.1.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf swig-4.1.1.tar.gz
cd swig-4.1.1
./configure && make -j4 && make install

# 注意安装可能报错没有权限，可以使用超级管理员身份安装`sudo su`

pythonocc核心还是基于C++开发的occ库，python对c++的occ进行包装，如何包装就是使用这个SWIG库

编译构建OCC

下载 occ 7.8.1

下载到本地/home/myPC/occ/occt-bd2a789.tar.gz

cd /home/myPC/occ/
tar -zxvf occt-bd2a789.tar.gz

cd occt-bd2a789
mkdir cmake-build
cd cmake-build

开始构建，这里设置一下安装目录/opt/occ781

$ cmake -DINSTALL_DIR=/opt/occt781 -DBUILD_RELEASE_DISABLE_EXCEPTIONS=OFF ..

make -j4
sudo make install

将occ库添加到系统依赖库目录

echo "/opt/occt781/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/occt.conf
1

这步可能需要权限，如提示权限问题则sudo su执行

开始安装pythonocc-core

首先下载pythonocc源码

git clone https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-core.git
1

进入目录，开始构建

cd pythonocc-core
mkdir cmake-build && cd cmake-build

# 安装目录设置在/opt/pythonocc-core
cmake  -DOCCT_INCLbingUDE_DIR=/opt/occt781/include/opencascade  -DOCCT_LIBRARY_DIR=/opt/occt781/lib  -DPYTHONOCC_BUILD_TYPE=Release  -DPYTHONOCC_INSTALL_DIRECTORY=/opt/pythonocc-core  ..

执行后报错，发现提示需要SWIG版本不对

解决办法：要么更新SWIG到4.2.1，要么尝试下降pythonocc源码对SWIG的依赖；最好选择更新SWIG，需要重新下载编译SWIG源码

这里偷懒，尝试修改一下pythonocc-core/CMakeLists.txt

...
########
# SWIG #
########
find_package(SWIG 4.2.1 REQUIRED)
include(${SWIG_USE_FILE})
...

把4.2.1改成4.1.1 ，重新执行cmake解决报错（这里不建议这样偷懒，最好还是老老实实安装一个最新的SWIG）

继续安装

make -j4 && make install 
1

添加动态库目录

# 打开 ~/.bashrc 添加如下内容
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/occt781/lib
# 完了后，需要执行一下`source ./bashrc`

验证pythonocc-core是否成功安装

安装完成后，测试验证验证一下

$ python
Python 3.11.5 (main, Sep 11 2023, 13:54:46) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from OCC.Core.gp import gp_Pnt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'OCC'

由上可知，当输入 from OCC.Core.gp import gp_Pnt 提示说OCC找不到，奇了怪了，查看github官方安装文档

If PYTHONOCC_INSTALL_DIRECTORY is unset, it will be installed to site-packages/OCC；如果PYTHONOCC_INSTALL_DIRECTORY未设置，将安装到site-packages/OCC，这个目录被设置为别的目录了，当时想着这个这类目录统一安装到/opt/pythonocc-core目录，谁知道这个目录不能乱设置；

site-packages这个目录三python的第三方依赖包的目录，所以默认情况，就会放在你的python的这个目录下，在python环境下，当import时，py就能正常找到库；

显然由前面的pythonocc的cmake阶段，被简单理解指定目录了；而一般情况下是不用修改的，自动会识别到python的site-packages目录的，当我们采用的conda，有多个虚拟环境安装时，而我们又采用了手动构建编译pythonocc包时，这是就需要指定这个目录到指定的conda虚拟环境中；

如何查看当前python的第三方库目录呢，可以采用如下方式查看

# 查看一下当前使用的python
$ which python
/home/myPC/miniconda3/bin/python
# 进入python
$ python
Python 3.11.5 (main, Sep 11 2023, 13:54:46) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import site
>>> print(site.getsitepackages())
['/home/myPC/miniconda3/lib/python3.11/site-packages']

现在如何解决安装路径设置错误的办法呢？一种是重新安装pythonocc-core，不指定安装目录；另外一种是创建个软链接，在当前python的site-packages下，创建一个/opt/pythonocc-core的软链接（前面pythonocc安装时 指定的安装路径）

$ ln -s /opt/pythonocc-core /home/myPC/miniconda3/lib/python3.11/site-packages/OCC

$ python
Python 3.11.5 (main, Sep 11 2023, 13:54:46) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

    from six import with_metaclass

又有新的报错，我们安装一个six库

$ conda install six

再次测试pythonocc-occ

$ python
>>> from OCC.Core.gp import gp_Pnt
>>> p = gp_Pnt(1., 2., 3.)
>>> p.X()

完美跑通python-occ手动编辑安装

$ cd pythonocc-demos/examples  
$ python core_helloworld.py

当然，不想折腾的同学，直接看这里，conda安装occ
