[email protected]_qt6: setup new freecad formula that builds and links against upstream qt@6

[ipatch]

need to setup a new formula that builds and links against qt@6 upstream homebrew-core formula.

[ipatch]

currently running into the below issue because upstream pyside@6 has the force limited api set within the formula.

https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=77963&start=40

[ipatch]

a workaround for the above issue is to install a versioned formula of pyside that sets the below cmake var,

-DFORCE_LIMITED_API=no

[ipatch]

it appears a patch may be required to fix the below error,

[ 57%] Building CXX object src/Mod/Surface/App/CMakeFiles/Surface.dir/Blending/FeatureBlendCurve.cpp.o
[ 57%] Built target Import

#include <pybind11/eigen.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ 58%] Built target Sketche

using the patch supplied within this repo does bump my build further without encourting this fatal error message.

[ipatch]

the current error i'm getting when using my versioned version of pyside@6 and applying several patches to the freecad source, and using the below cmake command to configure my build directory,

[ipatch]

it seems the above error message is related to the macos toolchain (possibly) and workaround / fix is to add the missing include for <vector> to the LineGenerator.h file. see the below link for more information.

current cmake issue i'm presently running into,

[ipatch]

either need a new formula file for the ondselsolver or i need to figure out how i can add it as a resource to the current formula 🤔

[ipatch]

attempted to add the ondselsolver as a resource but unfortunately that currently is not working,

setup a tap formula for the ondselsolver see new pr #549

[ipatch]

it seems using the below cmake var does not prevent the cmake process from searching for the ondsel solver

from what i can tell because i'm still getting the above cmake warnings/errors.

cmake appears to be picking qt@5 installation

[ipatch]

successfully built freecad from git main this afternoon using cmake with homebrew provided libaries, the below cmake command allowed me build fc from the below commit,

        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local/fc-git \
        -L \
        ../../fcsrc

that above cmake does require setting up env vars for the path to the libaries and setting a env var of bp to the output of $(brew --prefix)

also i still have to apply the xerces-c patch, and the pybind11 patch contained within this repo or build errors will occur.

also i set the compilers to use the open-mpi compiler wrappers ie. as the hdf5 wrapper utility is broken due to upstream homebrew-core switching the build of hdf5 from gnu autotools / autoconfigure to cmake 🤦‍♂️, so a work around is to use the hdf5-mpi library provided by upstream homebrew-core thus allowing cmake properly find and setup hdf5

 export CC=$bp/opt/open-mpi/bin/mpicc     
 export CXX=$bp/opt/open-mpi/bin/mpic++   

all that said, freecad does launch, but

1. can not create a body because i'm getting the below error,

      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
   <class 'RuntimeError'>: {'sclassname': 'N4Base12RuntimeErrorE', 'sErrMsg': 'GeoFeatureGroupExtension can only be applied to GeoFeatures', 'sfile': '', 'iline': 0, 'sfunction': '', 'swhat': 'GeoFeatureGroupExtension can only be applied to GeoFeatures', 'btranslatable': False, 'breported': False}
   "

2. any workbench that is using PySide fails due to trying to load a py module of the name PySide which opening a python repl ie.

$bp/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3

and running,

import PySide

will produce the below error,

Python 3.12.4 (main, Jun  6 2024, 18:26:44) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import PySide
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PySide'

i can import the python module with the name PySide6

so further investigation is required to figure out how to get PySide working when building and linking against qt6

[ipatch]

useful links, upstream related to using qt6 with freecad

[chennes]

For the record, FREECAD_USE_EXTERNAL_ONDSELSOLVER is considered an advanced option designed for developers who are working on OndselSolver itself. In most cases self-compilers should be using git submodule update --init to get OndselSolver as part of the main FreeCAD source tree.

[ipatch]

my bad i see it there 🤦‍♂️

running cmake -L in my build directory isn't even listing the FREECAD_USE_EXTERNAL_ONDSELSOLVER option being available.

i think the issue related to PySide can be seen in the below freecadcmd repl session, i think a possilbe patch file will be required to properly set things up.

Is this still relevant for 1.0 ? If not, then probably worth closing ?

i still haven't published a formula that build and links against qt version 6, yet, so i plan keeping it open until i get a new formula in the tap.
