Finally compiled FreeCAD, thanks to wmayer and jmaustpc. I drew inpiration from their approach to a similar scenario. Here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7491

Removing PCL packages and their dependencies eliminated the boost issues. Turns out PCL was expecting specific versions of boost other than the one that shipped with the system. Why do we need PCL in the first place? What advantage does it have? Just wondering

But there is one more issue: :?
This compilation worked because I enabled WITH_EXTERNAL_PIVY, otherwise FreeCAD compilation halts with an error while using in-source pivy. Now I attempt to install python-pivy so that Draft workbench will be available, I get:

Code: Select all

dnf install python-pivy
Dependencies resolved.

Install  4 Packages
Geesh! python-pivy wants Coin2 whereas I compiled with Coin4. from Source
Guess I need to compile pivy with Coin4 support. Has anyone done this before? What are the chances of a headache-free pivy compilation?

Aaaah! I should have read the updated FreeCAD wiki pages on compilation:
http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.ph ... pileOnUnix

I need to compile pivy and SoQt for my system. I'm running Fedora rawhide.

Cool, so that gives me a better idea on how to reproduce the problem.
