Trouble compiling FreeCAD on an ARM64 SD845 device

[EnigmaVoidX]

Hello everyone, I was linked to this post by some people. I dont own an rpi4, but I am trying to run it on a arm64 device (specifically ubuntu Bionic inside a proot/chroot enviornment on a SD845 device).

I followed the instructions on the link on the first post of this page, problem is python 2.7 doesnt work for me, I get permission denied, python 3 works though. I can easily build using python3 but when it comes to launching it I get segfaults. I dont know if its python 3 or the fact I'm using a software 3d accelerator (llvmpipe)?

Any input?

Hi, I don't know about ARM64 device, however following previous investigations the segfault issue seems due to Coin3D-QT5.
So you can try to compile PY3/Qt4 https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 80#p340741

The issue for me is, during make and cMake I get errors due to my system keep throwing permission errors for Python2.7. Am in SOL? Technically a pi4 and sd845 soc both run arm64 architecture, only different is I'm running linux in a container.

Ok you are right ARMV8 of RPI4 is arm64, so if your device is the same I assume compiling PY3/Qt4 should work the same, that would avoid troubles with py2 denied access isn't? Although I have not so much skills about all those stuffs sorry

I was able to access python2, build goes fine but I still get segfault at launch. I can access freecad in console mode. It was built with py2/qt4. It cant be opengl support as my llvmpipe has opengl support as I can use gmsh which requires openGL. This is the error as followed:

I followed your commands and now I get an error that says:
QWidget::Repaint: Recursive repaint detected.

Could you give us the QT version installed? And thank you to past the output error by using the code tag tool in you message.

Please Kunda could you maybe splite the last 6 messages from EnigmaVoidX and my replies in a new thread titeld" Trouble to compile FreeCAD on an ARM64 SD845 device"? Because that does not concerne directly Raspberry PI4 device.
