Compile on Manjaro guidance

[drmacro]

I'm looking at compiling 0.20 on Manjaro and was wondering if there are any recommendations, caveats, etc. that will minimize my hair loss.

Can I use git clone?
Is the Debian/Ubuntu deps list the same on Manjaro?
Can I get the deps with pacman?

(Sorry, this is my first atempt at Manjaro. )


Kunda1 I saw some posts that you were compiling on Manjaro...hence the ping.

When I first compiled FC on Manjaro, I think I had to compile also a couple of dependencies from AUR (imagemagick, med, python-pivy, coin, soqt), but when I check them in pamac, they now seem to be available from community repo.
To get a list of dependencies, you can have a look at the PKGBUILD file of freecad-git in AUR.

EDIT: However I choosed to use the most simple cmake possible :

Code: Select all

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DFREECAD_USE_OCC_VARIANT="Official Version" -DBUILD_QT5=ON

[drmacro]

Hmm...checked the list in PKGBUILD and it looks like all are installed.

Installed the community version of OCC and cmake produces the following error:

Code: Select all

And it also complains about:

have you tried

Code: Select all

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/freecad-git.git
cd freecad-git
makepkg -si

if that works you can then play around with the source mentioned in the PKGBUILD and compile whatever version you want of freecad

I assume this is essentially what I did with the software install gui (having selected freecad-git), since I now have FreeCAD 0.20 and OCCT 7.5.

I have yet to grok the intricacies of the PKBUILD, so have not messed with it...haven't even figured out where it lives on my local machine.

Did you try this list of packages (I guess there should be no major difference compared to the Manjaro packages) and directly using the FreeCAD repository instead of the AUR repository?
I use Archlinux, if I remember correctly, I didn't have to add any other dependencies to that list to do the compilation.

My initial attempt was before I learned the connection between Arch and Manjaro.

That said, that is the list I used pacman to install and the cmake resulted in the errors shown previously in this thread.

[marioalexis]

Are med and qt5-xmlpatterns packages already installed?
The med.h header file claimed in the first error should be in /usr/include

[adrianinsaval]

The list in the wiki seems outdated, it doesn't match the dependencies listed in the PKGBUILD, now that you've installed the aur package you shuld truly have all the dependencies installed so a regular build should work too
