Strange :? There is only one on the daily PPA itself: https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintain ... /+packages
The cmake stuff is indeed in the misc package.

Would you consider a convenience package that includes all the non-runtime stuff?

Can you be more specific on what should be in there? Are you wanting something like a metapackage that installs all the -dev packages? I had considered something like that but there's advice against doing that since it can cause people to do a "lazy" declaration of dependencies instead of depending on only the specific OCCT packages/features they need.
Like my FreeCAD work? I'd appreciate any level of support via Patreon, Liberapay, or PayPal! Read more about what I do at my blog.

Exactly. FreeCAD ends up needing all/most of OCCT. Good point however, libboost is a good example (they do offer a meta-package) see the PPA control file https://git.launchpad.net/~freecad-main ... build-occt
If it had been me, I might have specified lib-boost-all :(

Little correction: With 4 cores it should be make -j3.
And a little side note: With this option the error-warning don't have to be at the end of the terminal output. The different threads print out when ever one is ready to print.

I tried to make a step-by-step guide to compile with py3 and qt5 on a fresh arch-linux installation, but it's really hard. I am able to build it, but i always end up replacing some packages. E.g coin/coin-hg python-pivy/python-pivy-git and i think soqt-hg can not be installed like it is now (the package is last time updated 2015). If i have a working skript i'll post it.

Does someone know which packages of the following are appreciated?
python-pivy/python-pivy-git
coin/coin-hg
soqt/soqt-hg
the hg stands for compatible with Open Inventor.

soqt/soqt-hg
SoQt is not needed any more for a long time now. I think v0.14 was the very last version where we used it.

Although FreeCAD doesn't depend on SoQt directly, it's still a transitive dependency by way of Pivy.

  • update Boost_Python3_Library* (eg "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python3.so")
I may be more dummy that others, but I don't get those two parameters. The only Boost related one is BOOST_THREAD_LIBRARY. :?

How do I get those two to show up in cmake-gui? Especially if I'm not supposed to set PYTHON_BASENAME and PYTHON_CONFIG_SUFFIX? Contrary to what PYTHON_BASENAME's tooltip seems to imply ("Same as PYTHON_SUFFIX but for PySide. If left empty, PYTHON_SUFFIX will be used: <PysideConfigPYTHON_BASENAME.cmake>"), I have no PYTHON_SUFFIX variable. :?

Here's the output of cmake-gui after generate:

Ah man, I'm embarrassed. I had never noticed that checkbox before. :oops: :roll:

Thanks. Will give it another go.
