FreeCAD will not launch after installing last update

Post by hogmemberisold »

I am unable to run FreeCAD after updating to the latest version yesterday. I click on the FreeCAD icon and nothing happens.

The current version installed is 0.16.99+git201612222.1045-3.1, and doesn't work.

The last version that worked was 0.16.99+git201612221.1739-2.1

The OS is OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 64-bit running GNOME 3.20.2.

Any help would be appreciated.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

It is because FreeCAD got built against Qt5 but old Shiboken and Pivy.
I am on it ...

When linking the latest master version against Qt5 it now links against PySide2 and Shiboken2. However, at this point the migration to Qt5/PySide2 is not accomplished since all the Python modules still use the old PySide. So, at this point I consider the Qt5 linking as experimental.
