CompileOnUnix is deprecated - FreeCAD can't be installed on Gentoo

Post by Barny »

Due to the fact that qtwebkit4 has been removed from the Gentoo distribution (and maybe also on other distributions) FreeCAD can't be installed any more. On Gentoo is marked for "to be removed" in the near Future.
Shall I write this direct in the WIKI - just to be correct?

The AppImage should be ok on Gentoo. If so, that should be mentioned as a workaround.

People have been able to compile with Qt5 (the Mac OS X builds are based on it), but they need to compile some libraries that are not yet packaged for Qt5 on Debian and I guess Gentoo. So it is possible to do it.
