Anyone notice the OpenSCAM project?

@BigJohnT, You should be able solve that problem by installing some packages:

If not I will make a new build with libboost statically linked.

Has there been recent development on this software? I've checked it out a couple times and I thought it had stopped a while back. Its probably been six months since I checked it out, and it didn't seem to have improved or changed from the previous time I checked it. On the other hand other than it crashing repeatedly I had no issue running inch code on it.

~~ I just saw the post where you said you had a new release. I'll check it out right now.

He just did a new release 5-6 days ago. It now runs on OS X.

I tried the Windows Version just now and I saw the issue with mm instead of inch. Also, is there a way to set arc mode? I run my CAM of machines on Arc Mode Absolute, and of course got crop circles. I did a special code build with incremental and it worked ok.

Unfortunately incremental distance and arc absolute distance modes are not yet implemented. See issue 42 .

Regarding development activity. This project is very much alive. I am committed to it but I am also just one guy doing this in my spare time. I would like to dedicate more time to it but for that I need income. I'm working on some ideas to help make this happen. Please consider donating .

I do have to admit that the version I just reviewed is an order of magnitude better than the one I reviewed several months ago. It is so improved that its like a whole different program. I am impressed.
