bug#43448: FreeCAD fails to compile

Hi,

it seems that FreeCAD fails to compile because it can't find the mpi
library even though it's in the inputs. Same is true for
python-pyside-2, python-pyside-2-tools and python-shiboken-2.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
====================
shiboken2 not found.
====================

==================
PySide2 not found.
==================

=======================
PySide2Tools not found.
=======================
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

MPI just generates a warning

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
-- Checking for one of the modules 'ompi-cxx'
CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:745 (message):
  mpi.h was not found.  Check for error above.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

but the build fails with no direct error message (i didn't find one),
and tried to link against mpi (that's why i'm guessing it has something
to do with it).

Full build log is attached.

Thank you for your feedback and pointing this out.

From the Guix Data Service [1], something wrong is happening to
FreeCAD.  The last substituable FreeCAD v1.8.0 is given by the commit
9bc516bada71e1437d73971584bff5e72e053dbe:

   guix time-machine –commit=9bc516bada71e1437d73971584bff5e72e053dbe \
        -- weather freecad

All the best,
simon

Many apologies, i completely missed your answer! :/

The same thing got reported as #44098, is it possible to merge those
issues?

I'm currently looking into the freecad source to find out what's
happening.

Hum? 4 days do seem not missed. :-D

Please give a look at:

    <https://debbugs.gnu.org/server-control.html>

Basically, you need to send to <control@debbugs.gnu.org> the message containing:

merge 43448 44098
thanks

(I never know if the order matters even if the doc says "reflexive,
transitive and symmetric". :-))

This patch defines the include paths for shiboken2, pyside2 and includes
the locations of the pyside2-tools binaries.

There's now another error:

bug#43448: FreeCAD fails to compile

Hi,

I solved most of the compilation issue with freecad.

Now my package version compiles but install phase fails with this error:

Did anyone see something like this before?

Right now I have no idea how to tackle this but I'll keep researching.

If anyone wants to be able to reach this point, the only changes I applied to the project are configure-flags suggested in this bug report with some extra more because the header files were not found in subdirectories. These are the configure flags I added (mostly copied from Nix package[^nix]):

```
(list
         "-DBUILD_QT5=ON"
         (string-append "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=\"" (assoc-ref %outputs "out") "/lib\"")

         (string-append "-DPYSIDE2UICBINARY="
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2-tools")
                        "/bin/uic")
         (string-append "-DPYSIDE2RCCBINARY="

                        "/bin/rcc")

         "-DPYSIDE_LIBRARY=PySide2::pyside2"

                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2") "/include/PySide2/QtCore;"
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2") "/include/PySide2/QtWidgets;"
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2") "/include/PySide2/QtGui;")

         "-DSHIBOKEN_LIBRARY=Shiboken2::libshiboken"
         (string-append "-DSHIBOKEN_INCLUDE_DIR="
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-shiboken-2")
                        "/include/shiboken2"))
```


I hope we can have something working soon!



Cheers,
Ekaitz

I solved most of the compilation issue with freecad.

Now my package version compiles but install phase fails with this error:

Did anyone see something like this before?

Right now I have no idea how to tackle this but I'll keep researching.

If anyone wants to be able to reach this point, the only changes I applied to the project are configure-flags suggested in this bug report with some extra more because the header files were not found in subdirectories. These are the configure flags I added (mostly copied from Nix package[^nix]):

```
(list
         "-DBUILD_QT5=ON"
         (string-append "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=\"" (assoc-ref %outputs "out") "/lib\"")

         (string-append "-DPYSIDE2UICBINARY="
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2-tools")
                        "/bin/uic")
         (string-append "-DPYSIDE2RCCBINARY="
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2-tools")
                        "/bin/rcc")

         "-DPYSIDE_LIBRARY=PySide2::pyside2"
         (string-append "-DPYSIDE_INCLUDE_DIR="
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2") "/include;"
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2") "/include/PySide2;"
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2") "/include/PySide2/QtCore;"
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2") "/include/PySide2/QtWidgets;"
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-pyside-2") "/include/PySide2/QtGui;")

         "-DSHIBOKEN_LIBRARY=Shiboken2::libshiboken"
         (string-append "-DSHIBOKEN_INCLUDE_DIR="
                        (assoc-ref %build-inputs "python-shiboken-2")
                        "/include/shiboken2"))
```


I hope we can have something working soon!



Cheers,

Re: FreeCAD fails to compile

[Ekaitz Zarraga]

Looks like this line, inherited from the previous definition, was giving some trouble:

>              (string-append "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=\\"" (assoc-ref %outputs "out") "/lib\\"")


It was creating wrong variables (and wrong syntax too!):


  if(EXISTS "$ENV{DESTDIR}/tmp/guix-build-freecad-mine-0.18.5.drv-0/build/"/gnu/store/30rcpcdv7h6ak37wf30ijlbf9x2j6jyz-freecad-mine-0.18.5/lib"/libSMDS.so" AND
     NOT IS_SYMLINK "$ENV{DESTDIR}/tmp/guix-build-freecad-mine-0.18.5.drv-0/build/"/gnu/store/30rcpcdv7h6ak37wf30ijlbf9x2j6jyz-freecad-mine-0.18.5/lib"/libSMDS.so")


I think I'll manage to solve this myself.

     Nice work Ekaitz! 

 
I worked hard on freecad, it is quite a difficult program to package. That was a weird issue that I asked about on the freecad forums. Perhaps it is fixed upstream now, which would be excellent. Thanks for keeping it up to date!

Hey!
I think I found you post.
I'm hitting against the same wall. The funny thing is the thread says [SOLVED].
I have a couple of ideas but this thing is hard to build...

I'll fight with all my soul, and keep you posted.

Thanks for the support,
Ekaitz
