This new proposed readme makes it more obvious to readers that there is a large collection of tools available, a brief glance of what they do, and directs users to the dedicated websites and documentation for further instructions on installation and so on.
After #1930 the 0.7 branch isn't compatible anymore with OCCT version < 7.2. That includes the liboce that's found in debian (derivatives), which is OCCT 6.9 or even less. Updated the Linux section of README.md to explain the dependency on OCCT and include instructions to build on Unix with OCCT (from the OS repository as well). Also included changes that became necessary when we moved to v0.7.0 from v0.6.0 (like recursive clone and cmake additions).
* Use -Wno-tautological-constant-out-of-range-compare for Clang (these warnings come from the sanity checks in generated IfcXXX files).
* Remove unused variable and typedefs + suppress uint->bool conversion warnings (MSVC) + add note about Clang in README
* MSVC uint->bool convesion warning fixes when IFC4 is defined
* README.md: add note about Visual C++ Build Tools and Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. Enhance the Compiling on *nix instructions.
* Fix newline.
* README.md tweak
* CMakeLists.txt: remove CHECK_ADD_OCE_OCC_DEF INCLUDE() for good as these are not needed any more at all (OCE codebase also checked and no signs of these).
* Preliminary MSYS2 + MinGW build scripts and instructions.
* CMakeLists.txt: MinGW tweaks, enforce C++03, suppress warnings for now.
* Fix some GCC warnings.
* Fix unused parameter warnings coming from Ifc*.h.
* Fix warning regarding unreachable code (++jt) on MSVC.
* Add IfcParse_EXPORT for IfcInvalidTokenException
* Fix potentially uninitialized pointer variables.
* Note about OpenCASCADE cyclic dependencies fix.
* GCC warning fix: don't generate 'current_enum' variable that is only set and not used for anything ever
* Work around -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings about boost::optional constructs. Also prevent passing of negative values for --bounds.
* Remove unused variable.
* CMakeLists.txt: ENABLE_BUILD_OPTIMIZATIONS for GCC (simply enforce -03)
* Make possible to invoke run-cmake.bat, build-ifcopenshell.cmd (now bat), install-ifcopenshell.cmd (now bat) directly from File Explorer or command prompt without VS env vars set, if BuildDepsCache file exists, by utilizing CMake's --build functionality. Do not delete CMakeCache.txt always now in order to keep the build options consistent.
* win/readme.md tweaks + make the line width smaller
* Windows batch files: use the last modified BuildDepsCache. Show an error if GEN_SHORTHAND does not exist.
