FreeCAD and Raspberry Pi 4

[ToniGil]

Hi all,

I finally get my FreeCAD 0.18.3 running on Raspi 4.

When I try to open scenario "Part Design" comes an error message: "No module named PartDesignGui". All the others work.

Is there a way to include it?

Thanks in advance.
Toni Gil.

When FreeCAD is running then activate its Python console if not yet active via View -> Panels -> Python console

Then enter

Code: Select all

import PartDesignGui

You should see an error message now with some more details about its failure.

This is the error, I paste all info at Python Console:

Python 2.7.16 (default, Apr 6 2019, 01:42:57)
[GCC 8.2.0] on linux2
Type 'help', 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information.
>>> import PartDesignGui
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named PartDesignGui

When you look at the build directory then is there no file PartDesignGui.so? What about the file _PartDesign.so?

[ToniGil]

Yes, I found the second one "_PartDesign.so"

[wmayer]

And PartDesignGui.so? Is it there or not? If not you should open a terminal and cd to your build directory. Enter make PartDesignGui

I understand this part of the conversation is not for this forun (since FreeCad was installed). Maybe it should be for a "Basic Linux knowledge" forum so thank you very much for your help.

It worked to make the modul and I could import in Python console on FreeCAD. It all works.

Thanks again.

The question persists "Why didn't FreeCADGui not build?"

Can you check CMakeCache for BUILD_GUI:BOOL=ON?

[ToniGil]

Yes, it's "ON"

Feel free to ask whatever you need to know about this question. I attach CMakeOutput.log as it could help.

Thanks and regards,
Toni Gil.

@ ToniGil, maybe it's not relevant, but....what about your RPI4 model? 1Gb? 2Gb? 4Gb?
The make -j4 command involves more than 2Gb of RAM consumption sometimes while compiling.
So, if you have a 1 or 2Gb model you maybe should compile with make -j2 or make -j3 to avoid potential compiling errors?...
Do you remember some warning messages during compiling ?
