Summary0013687: Need for ready-to-use archives of OCCT builds on various platforms
DescriptionWhile OCCT supports many combinations of platform/compiler, the official
distributives of OCCT cover only a few combinations of them.

This causes a problem if some customer needs to work with OCCT built on other
platform/compiler: in practice, he has to re-build OCCT by himself.

At the same time, the binaries of OCCT built by different compilers are
available internally at OCN (used for certification).
Therefore it is logical to make packages containing such builds (as it is
already made for some Linux builds for SALOME), so that they can be given to a
customer.
Note that these packages may be simple archives; no installation procedure is
required.

This is especially important for Support customers for whom some testing or
development is made by OCC: having such built package will ensure that both
customer and OCC Support team work on the same build of OCCT.

In particular, this situation exists currently with MAHR customer who wants to
use OCCT 6.1.1 with MS VC++ 8.0 and ordered some improvements to be made by
OCCT.

The binary package should contain:
- /inc sub-directory
- /src/* sub-directories containing required resources (Units, UnitsAPI,
DrawResource etc.)
- /{platform}/lib and /bin subdirectories with binaries built on given platform

Similarly, having source-only package with build tools for all platforms can be
useful (by the way, requested multiple times on the Forum).

Note that we may even charge some fee for providing such pre-built versions of
OCCT to customers.
