Mainly drop-in replacement for `build-ifcopenshell.bat` with `--help`, kw args and args validation, but there's a small caveat.
Previously it was possible to pass args to the underlying build tool as simple positionals - e.g. `build-ifcopenshell vs2022-x64 Release /p:Foo=bar`.
This behaviour is disabled now, because it doesn't allow validating provided args - it's impossible to tell whether `--config Release` is meant to be passed to msbuild or was meant as `--build-cfg Release` for `build-ifcopenshell`.
But it's still possible to pass args to msbuild by using `--` - `python build-ifcopenshell.py vs2022-x64 Release -- /p:Foo=bar`
`install-ifcopenshell.py` is now just a small wrapper passing `--target INSTALL` arg.
Moving to Python to make Windows build scripts more maintainable.
It's intended to be a drop-in replacement, so it should be possible to just switch `.\build-deps.cmd` to `python build-deps.py`, keeping exactly the same arguments and behaviour will be the same.
`build-deps.cmd` is deprecated, but not yet removed, but will be shortly after more testing.
Other batch files will be migrated to Python shortly after too.
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
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.
