Re: OCE plugin for 3D viewer

 

I would also like to see this merged (I have only tested the out of
tree plugin), but I suggest that the build switch is named something
prefixed with "KICAD_" like most other kicad specific build switches
are, except for the github plugin.  Maybe KICAD_USE_OCE.

And to that I will add that Documentation/development/compiling.md
should be updated too to reflect the usage for that compile switch, :)
