   1 The Netgen 4.5 from the web location : http://www.hpfem.jku.at/netgen/
   2 (CVS access) is used in the SMESH Module of Salome3 distribution.

   4 How to build Netgen for Salome
   5 ------------------------------
   6
   7 Patch the netgen 4.5 distribution:
   8
   9 $ cd netgen45
  10 $ patch -p1 < patch_directory/netgen45ForSalome.patch
  11
  12 Then run makeForSalome.sh (it will be created by the patch):
  13 $ sh makeForSalome.sh
  14
  15
  16 Additional information for maintainers
  17 --------------------------------------
  18
  19 The file check_NETGENPLUGIN.m4 assumes
  20 that Netgen is installed in the directory <netgen_installation_path> as follow:

  22 prompt> ls <netgen_installation_path>

  60 All the libraries *.a should be compiled without the option -DOPENGL.
  61 netgen45 is assumed to be the directory downloaded from the above web
  62 location archive of Netgen. The library
  63 <netgen_installation_path>/lib/LINUX/libnginterface.a should contain the objects
  64 nglib.o (from netgen45/libsrc/interface/nglib.cpp) and ngnewdelete.o
  65 (from netgen45/ngtcltk/ngnewdelete.cpp).
  66
  67 To have that kind of distribution from the version in the above web location you
  68 need not to compile Netgen as suggested in the netgen45/README.INSTALL file.
  69 Simply modify the Makefiles to remove -DOPENGL from compiler flags
  70 list and to add OCC include dir and flags to compiler flags, add the objects
  71 nglib.o and ngnewdelete.o to the library libnginterface.a and
  72 recompile the libraries only.
  73 All this job is done by applying the patch and running the script makeForSalome.sh.
  74
  75 Th suggested patch alters some Netgen sources to compile them.
