Just a general update on this: * Qt 5 requires PySide2, which is only just beginning to be distributed. This seems to be the main issue at this stage. * Building with Qt 4 and Python 3 is tricky, because some of the PySide (not PySide2) tools/libraries want to pull in Python 2 libraries. The packagi...

Thanks looo - that Conda sure looks much simpler than using the normal apt, pip, etc by themselves...

I sat down this evening with the intent to build a shiny new FreeCAD, with Qt5 and Python 3, though I'd be happy with just Qt5 for now if Python 3 isn't ready for prime time. My thinking was that PySide2 is probably better exercised with Python 3, but maybe that's not true. Anyway, I'm not finding t...

I find both necroposting and cross-posting to be rather distracting. There's already a tracker item for this; why does a forum topic need to get bumped to confirm whether there's anything new with it?

Is anyone able to take a look at this? Usually, this sort of question is best addressed with the issue tracker; you'd make up a good quality bug report, then work can continue there. Or, it's totally fine to work through the issue on the forum too: Or can anyone tell me where to look in the build p...

Good to see you online Peter! PySide2 is now available via pip/pip3, and Qt is planning on also making Shiboken2 available similarly (it's currently in the PySide2 egg, but kinda broken and isn't intended to be left there, if I understand correctly). So, I'll be curious to see whether PySide2 gets b...

does install a bunch of PySide2 and Shiboken2 headers. The Qt folks are still adjusting the packaging though - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-749 in particular seems like a good ticket to keep an eye on.

Since you encountered the same issue in Windows and MacOS (and so I'll begrudgingly give you a pass for not reading/following the instructions linked above ;) ), I think you're going to need to either watch videos of others using Sketcher, or describe in more detail precisely what you're trying, and...

Perhaps following would be better: QT5_CMAKE_PREFIX=$(ls -d $(brew --cellar)/qt/*/lib/cmake | tail -n 1) which finds at least the newest installed QT version. I don't know if the application bundler finds the same version later. Going around homebrew's back to get the available Qt versions probably...

I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting - there's absolutely no point in presenting options via the UI which we know are not valid. I'm suggesting it's better to avoid going the way GIMP was some years back, in that it had a bajillion bolted-on bits of UI which almost completely lacked self...
