Package media-gfx/freecad-0.18.2-r1 seems to work without any build or run issues.
The media-gfx/freecad-9999 is failing on my system. Seems to be easy fixes to get it working. I've filed a bug report and what fixed mine (Not that I know what I'm doing, or it was the right way). When build it needs prefaced with to run. Probably only on nvidia systems.
Code: Select all
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so FreeCAD
First you need to install Layman. It handles the overlays, overlays allow the adding of unofficial packages into Portage so they can be easily emerged.
Code: Select all
emerge --ask app-portage/layman
Should be sufficient to get layman running.
Now you need to add the waebbl overlay to the system.
Code: Select all
layman -a waebbl
media-gfx/freecad-0.18.2-r1 and media-gfx/freecad-9999
They will be masked by portage, so you will have to allow them specifically to be installed by editing /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords and adding one of the 2 following lines.
For version 18.2 add the following
Code: Select all
=media-gfx/freecad-0.18.2-r1 ~amd64
Code: Select all
=media-gfx/freecad-9999 **
Code: Select all
emerge --ask freecad
Let me know if I made any errors here.
Thanks
