Re: FreeCAD 0.18.4 fails to build with vtk 9.0

Hmmm. Weird. Strictly speaking, the file 'patterns/brick01' does *not* exist - the actual file is 'patterns/brick01.svg', and that's what is specified in the Draft.qrc file. Which leads me to ask, because there is an issue with this right now for 0.19 and Ubuntu and I know Fedora likes to live close...

Re: Build issue of 0.18.4 with boost-1.73.0

Yep, looks like the apply_visitor interface may have changed between 1.71 and 1.73 in commit 1ba33a580e67b92f66abdbbfe8edab577ba80222 :

Re: Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade blew away FreeCAD, looking for options...

As noted now in this thread :

https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=45413

following the workaround given there, I've been able to build and run 0.19 for 20.04, so this issue is now closed from my POV, thanks.

There appears to be an issue with some missing VTL related files, but this di...

Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade blew away FreeCAD, looking for options...

Hi folk, I upgraded Xubuntu 19.10 with a happy FreeCAD to 20.04, and discovered I had no FreeCAD. If I re-enable the launchpad PPA that I was using, the Ubuntu software installer crashes ( not FreeCAD's problem, it just can't deal with a repo that has no relevant Release file ). From reading some ot...
