It seems the lastest documented update is 2007 !!Old Coin GUI binding for Qt, replaced by Quarter.
if SoQt was "old" in 2007, why is it still being used?
TIA.

Where is it being used?
FreeCAD itself doesn't use SoQt any more but it uses pivy (the Python wrapper for Coin3d) and that still depends on SoQt.if SoQt was "old" in 2007, why is it still being used?
Last time I build FreeCAD it was py2/qt4 , I built coin4 , pivy and OCCT from source. Do I still need SoQt , or is that just for coin3 ?
As said SoQt is only needed by pivy because it wants to create Python wrappers for the classes of SoQt.Do I still need SoQt , or is that just for coin3
Coin4 is basically the same as Coin3. So if you already built Coin4, you already used the SoQt sources, I presume.
You are the one using the inferior Linux distribution, right? I'm sorry. It's just so easy to compile FreeCAD in Debian/Ubuntu with Python 3 and Qt5. I don't know why it's so hard for other distributions.
They don't have
