Hi Guix,
I was looking into the failing freecad build and I found the following
bug from the qt 5.12.7 known bugs page
(https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5.12.7_Known_Issues).
- Qt-based CMake projects might fail if their build directories contain dots:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-81715
I think this probably effects more cmake based qt projects than just freecad.
The qt-build-system is based on cmake and many of the store paths and
build paths include semver version numbers.
What should we do?
Thanks,
John

IIUC that this only affects qtbased packages:
1. If more than 300 qtbase dependents currently build fine: apply
the fix[0] to a separate qtbase/fixed package, and use it (on
master) in all packages that currently fail to build because of
this bug. Once Qt 5.12.8 comes out in April (or we upgrade
everything to 5.14), the /fixed variant can be removed on the
staging branch.
2. If fewer than 300 qtbase dependents currently build
successfully: apply the patch directly to qtbase on master. Newly
succeeding builds don't count as rebuilds.
Does that make sense?
Kind regards,

Hi T G-R,
I think that makes sense. I am not sure when I can find the time to do it but I will try.

Hi Guix and T G-R,
I think i verified that the upstream patch will fix the failing
freecad build at least.
guix refresh qtbase --list-dependents reports 377 dependents on qtbase though.
So that leads to option 1.

My only problem is that I am not sure which packages are failing
because of the bug. Any idea how to figure it out?
Thanks,
John
