FreeCAD 0.18.4 fails to build with vtk 9.0

Post by hobbes1069 »

We're working on upgrading Fedora Rawhide to vtk 9.0 and it looks like quite a bit has changed in this release.

Error:

You should probably try with 0.19 only.

Trying 0.19_pre from github I get the following:

Code: Select all

RCC: Error in '/builddir/build/BUILD/FreeCAD-0.19_pre/src/Mod/Draft/Resources/Draft.qrc': Cannot find file 'patterns/brick01'

Hmmm. Weird. Strictly speaking, the file 'patterns/brick01' does *not* exist - the actual file is 'patterns/brick01.svg', and that's what is specified in the Draft.qrc file. Which leads me to ask, because there is an issue with this right now for 0.19 and Ubuntu and I know Fedora likes to live close to the edge ( :) ), which resource compiler ( from which version of which package ) do you believe is being invoked here ?

I'm only working on Fedora Rawhide right now which is on Qt5 / PySide2 5.14.x...

I actually got the build completing now using straight master, but now I have a NEW issue...

It's been a wishlist for a long time to do a FHS compliant install but the install directories on FreeCAD are kind of borked which forced me to install everything into /usr/lib64/freecad, including the binaries, and symlink them back to /usr/bin.

It looks like there's been SOME changes to install to the correct directory, but the work is incomplete. The binaries and libraries ALMOST install to the correct location.

Binaries -> /usr/bin
Libraries -> /usr/lib64 (this is almost correct but since they are private libraries and some of the names are VERY generic, they should go into /usr/lib64/freecad)

But then data stuff like Mod just get dumped into /usr/share without being in a "freecad" subdirectory.

So now I'm back in install hell... But at least it builds!

Thanks,
Richard

I'm not having much luck building master, so before I keep hitting my head against the wall, do we even know if it's compatible with VTK 9.0?

It seems that you are using very new libraries, like Python 3.9 as well, so I don't think VTK9 is particularly tested. Most people around here use relatively conservative Debian libraries.

Yes, it's part of "Fedora First" We have the latest GCC (10.1.1), Python, and soon, VTK.

It's rather a chicken and the egg problem isn't it? You need the library to port to it, but I need it ported before I can use it. :)

Perhaps I should just submit a bug request then as it doesn't appear to be getting much attention here.

Well, FreeCAD already has a ton of open bug reports but not enough programmers to look at them. So, it's better if you can try to solve the problem yourself instead of passing the burden to the developers. If you provide a pull request, it's bound to get more attention than a bug report in the tracker.

Unfortunately I'm not much of a programmer and the changes appear to be significant.
