[Gmsh] Compiling gmsh with OCC

[gus.wolfgramm at xtra.co.nz]

Hi David 
 
Thanks for the reply. I did as you said and it configured fine. However make 
broke down during the part where the Geo library is being built, specifically as 
it parsed occIncludes.h and couldnt find a bunch of occ files (e.g 
BRep_Tool.hxx). How can I point make in the direction of these files.? Btw I am 
using the win32 verison of occ 6.2 and not the linux version. Is this 
signinificant? 
 
Cheers 
 
Gustav
