Introduced in 2e35b07 when moving to github releases, removing it since
it's been 20 months already.
Added temporary clean up step to remove previous installation.
Resolves the warnings below:
```
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:207 (message):
Use SQLite3_INCLUDE_DIR instead of SQLITE3_INCLUDE_DIR
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:211 (message):
Use SQLite3_LIBRARY instead of SQLITE3_LIBRARY
```
It was introduced a (very) long time ago (c7bf03e), was barely changed since then and seems unused by now.
Apparently it was used mainly to get installation's Python to PATH (`set PATH=%PYTHONHOME%;%PATH%`). It was also setting and env variables based on the cache as a side effect.
If needed, we'll be able reintroduce it later, delegating most of the logic to Python.
`TARGET_ARCH` has exactly the same values as `VS_PLATFORM` - "x64", "ARM", "ARM64") except it has `x86` instead of `Win32`, but this value is never actually used, so both variables end up using interchangeably, making code harder to reason about - you needed to remember that they're exactly the same except the case when the variable is passed directly to VS (either through `cmake -A` or some `msbuild` command), then user must use `VS_PLATFORM`. So we might just use one variable always.
`START` is set to `0` for "amd64" / "x64" and `1` in all other cases, effectively just skipping `GENERATORS[0]` in case when "amd64" or "x64" is present.
Which is now useless, since `GENERATORS[0]` doesn't exist anymore.
They were added awhile ago in 67666ed for overcoming some win32 issues, which is not around anymore.
And now `VS_HOST` is never set (and therefore `VS_TOOLSET_HOST` is always empty too) and likely to be never used.
Runtime plugins are canonically named `ifcopenshell_<kind>_<name>` (decorated_basename() in src/plugin/plugin.cpp, and the OUTPUT_NAME properties of the plugin targets), but the archive collection filtered on the dotted `ifcopenshell.` prefix, which matches only the core shared libraries. Every load-by-name plugin was therefore silently dropped from every win64 / win-arm64 zip.
Accept both prefixes, and extend the geometry-writer exclusion to the underscore form so the per-schema writers keep their existing Python-package-only treatment.
Fixes#9301
* Modifications to build C++ with Visual Studio 2026 and the v145 toolset.
* Fixes linker settings for rocksdb for Debug and Release builds
* module is a C++ 20 keyword. Explicitly stating namespace allows cpp20 projects to build against the library
* Fixes crash when initializing an object with the initialize function when some of the attributes are empty, {}, or omitted, std::nullopt
* cleanup for vs2026 v145 toolset per @aothms review
* Fixes bug, IfcCurveSegment.setStartLength was setSegmentLength in alignment_helper.cpp
* Bumps boost to 1.92
Compile the Bonsai Viewer as part of the Linux and Windows binary builds,
and ship the Autodesk connector alongside the viewer executable.
Qt6 dependencies:
- The viewer links Qt6::Svg for runtime icon tinting. Svg is a separate
base-Qt archive, so aqt now installs "qtbase qtsvg" (plus icu on Linux)
rather than qtbase alone, on both Linux and Windows.
- Qt6::CorePrivate is exposed differently across Qt versions: Qt 6.8 ships
the target inside Qt6Core, while Qt 6.10 provides it only as a separate
CorePrivate config package. The viewer CMakeLists requests it via
OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS so it resolves on both.
- When cross-compiling Windows ARM64, windeployqt runs from the host x64
Qt, so qtsvg is installed into the host Qt as well.
Windows build:
- build-all-win.py passed -DBUILD_IFCVIEWER, a flag since renamed to
BUILD_BONSAIVIEWER, so the Windows build compiled no viewer at all. It
now passes -DBUILD_BONSAIVIEWER.
- The Autodesk connector is bundled under connectors/ next to
BonsaiViewer.exe in the packaged archive, mirroring the Linux builds.
- The Windows workflow builds the connector (PyInstaller) before the main
build so it is available to bundle.
Connector bundling:
- The Linux rocky workflows build the connector and bundle it into the
BonsaiViewer archive; the Windows build now does the same.
