-@subsection OCCT_OVW_SECTION_4_2 System Environment Variables
+@section OCCT_OVW_SECTION_4_2 Environment Variables
To run any Open CASCADE Technology application you need to set the environment variables.
### On Windows
-
You can define the environment variables with env.bat script located in the
-OpenCACADE<version_number>/ros folder. This script accepts two arguments to be used:
-the version of Visual Studio (vc8, vc9, or vc10) and the architecture (win32 or win64).
+$CASROOT folder. This script accepts two arguments to be used:
+the version of Visual Studio (vc8 - vc12) and the architecture (win32 or win64).
The additional environment settings necessary for compiling OCCT libraries and samples
by Microsoft Visual Studio can be set using script custom.bat located in the same folder.
If OCCT was built by Automake, you can define the environment variables with env_amk.sh or custom_amk.sh script.
-The scripts are located in the OpenCACADE<version_number>/ros folder of the source package.
+The scripts are located in the OCCT root folder.
### Description of system variables:
* **CASROOT** is used to define the root directory of Open CASCADE Technology;
* **PATH** is required to define the path to OCCT binaries and 3rdparty folder;
* **LD_LIBRARY_PATH** is required to define the path to OCCT libraries (on UNIX platforms only);
- * **MMGT_OPT** if set to 1, the memory manager performs optimizations as described below; if set to 2,
- Intel (R) TBB optimized memory manager is used; if 0 (default), every memory block is allocated
- in C memory heap directly (via malloc() and free() functions).
- In the latter case, all other options except MMGT_CLEAR and MMGT_REENTRANT are ignored;
- * **MMGT_CLEAR** if set to 1 (default), every allocated memory block is cleared by zeros;
- if set to 0, memory block is returned as it is;
- * **MMGT_CELLSIZE** defines the maximal size of blocks allocated in large pools of memory. Default is 200;
- * **MMGT_NBPAGES** defines the size of memory chunks allocated for small blocks in pages
- (operating-system dependent). Default is 10000;
- * **MMGT_THRESHOLD** defines the maximal size of blocks that are recycled internally
- instead of being returned to the heap. Default is 40000;
- * **MMGT_MMAP** when set to 1 (default), large memory blocks are allocated using
- memory mapping functions of the operating system; if set to 0,
- they will be allocated in the C heap by malloc();
- * **MMGT_REENTRANT** when set to 1 (default), all calls to the
- optimized memory manager will be secured against possible simultaneous access from different execution threads.
-
-This variable should be set in any multithreaded application that uses
-an optimized memory manager (MMGT_OPT=1) and has more than one thread
-potentially calling OCCT functions. If set to 0, OCCT memory management and
-exception handling routines will skip the code protecting from possible concurrency
-in multi-threaded environment. This can yield some performance gain in some applications,
-but can lead to unpredictable results if used in a multithreaded application;
-
-**Special note:** for applications that use OCCT memory manager from more than one thread,
-on multiprocessor hardware, it is recommended to use options MMGT_OPT=2 and MMGT_REENTRANT=1.
-
+ * **MMGT_OPT** (optional) if set to 1, the memory manager performs optimizations as described below; if set to 2,
+ Intel (R) TBB optimized memory manager is used; if 0 (default), every memory block is allocated
+ in C memory heap directly (via malloc() and free() functions).
+ In the latter case, all other options except MMGT_CLEAR and MMGT_REENTRANT are ignored;
+ * **MMGT_CLEAR** (optional) if set to 1 (default), every allocated memory block is cleared by zeros;
+ if set to 0, memory block is returned as it is;
+ * **MMGT_CELLSIZE** (optional) defines the maximal size of blocks allocated in large pools of memory. Default is 200;
+ * **MMGT_NBPAGES** (optional) defines the size of memory chunks allocated for small blocks in pages
+ (operating-system dependent). Default is 10000;
+ * **MMGT_THRESHOLD** (optional) defines the maximal size of blocks that are recycled internally
+ instead of being returned to the heap. Default is 40000;
+ * **MMGT_MMAP** (optional) when set to 1 (default), large memory blocks are allocated using
+ memory mapping functions of the operating system; if set to 0,
+ they will be allocated in the C heap by malloc();
* **CSF_LANGUAGE** is required to define the default language of messages;
- * **CSF_EXCEPTION_PROMPT** – if defined and set to 1 then a diagnostic message is displayed in case of an exception;
- * **CSF_MDTVFontDirectory** accesses the fonts that can be used in OCCT;
+ * **CSF_DEBUG** (optional, Windows only): if defined then a diagnostic message is displayed in case of an exception;
+ * **CSF_DEBUG_BOP** (optional): if defined then it should specify directovy where diagnostic data on problems occured in Boolean operations will be saved;
* **CSF_MDTVTexturesDirectory** defines the directory for available textures when using texture mapping;
- * **CSF_UnitsDefinition** and **CSF_UnitsLexicon** are required by programs considering units;
+ * **CSF_UnitsDefinition** and **CSF_UnitsLexicon** should define paths to resource files Lexi_Expr.dat and Units.dat, respectively, required for support of measurement units;
* **CSF_SHMessage** is required in order to define the path to the messages file for *ShapeHealing*;
* **CSF_XSMessage** is required in order to define the path to the messages file for **STEP** and **IGES** translators;
- * **CSF_StandardDefaults** and **CSF_PluginDefaults** are required in order to maintain CASCADE Persistence mechanism to make possible any open/save operations with OCAF documents;
+ * **CSF_StandardDefaults** and **CSF_PluginDefaults** are required in order to maintain CASCADE Persistence mechanism to make possible any open/save operations with OCAF documents;
* **CSF_StandardLiteDefaults** is required in order to maintain *OCCT Persistence mechanism* to make possible any open/save operations with Lite OCAF documents;
* **CSF_XCAFDefaults** any open/save operations for **XDE** documents;
- * **CSF_GraphicShr** is required to define the path to the *TKOpenGl* library;
* **CSF_IGESDefaults** and **CSF_STEPDefaults** are required for **IGES** and **STEP** translators correspondingly in order to define the path to the resource files;
* **CSF_XmlOcafResource** is required in order to set the path to **XSD** resources, which defines XML grammar.
-
-As part of XML persistence support, these definitions can be used by end users
-in XML validators or editors, together with persistent XmlOcaf documents;
