[Gmsh] gmsh compile

[Max Orok]

Hi Mauro,

Don't give up on the SDK! I think this may be a problem with the linker
being unable to find the library.
It would help if you post your exact error messages.

Here is an older post related to VS issues that might help you out:
https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh/issues/551

*From that post: *
*-----------------------------*

Compiling and running a C++ example with Visual Studio 2017 is as simple as
running this in the Visual Studio shell:

C:\gmsh-git-Windows64-sdk> ren include\gmsh.h_cwrap
gmsh.hC:\gmsh-git-Windows64-sdk> cl /Iinclude
share\doc\gmsh\demos\api\simple.cpp
lib\gmsh.libC:\gmsh-git-Windows64-sdk> cd
libC:\gmsh-git-Windows64-sdk\lib> ..\simple.exe

*-----------------------------*

For your use case, I think the SDK is the right way to go.
I'm not sure about a Topo_DS shape directly, but Gmsh certainly allows you
to import a STP model and then mesh it with different settings.

Sincerely,
Max
