Arch Linux User Repository

Please report issues and patches to cloudcompare->github.com

Build fails because vtk in the repos is too "new", or more specific because vtk in the repos is build against qt6 which now tries to pull qt6 in to the build process.

But currently CloudCompare is incompatible with qt6

Its official build instructions state CloudCompare 2.13+ requires 5.12 <= Qt < 6.0 See: https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCompare/blob/master/BUILD.md

I've opened a GitHub issue for this PKGBUILD with more details: https://github.com/bartoszek/AUR-cloudcompare/issues/27

Can you please pass -DPLUGIN_IO_QLAS:BOOL=ON to the cmake arguments to support las/laz formats?

EDIT: Works fine after the 2023-06-26 update

I can not compile the latest update - this seems to be the culprit:

It fails with pdal 2.4.0 as shown here : https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/165972/checks?check_run_id=5723532108

Anyone able to compile the latest update (as of 10 May 2022)? My build is failing on plugins/core/IO/qE57IO/CMakeFiles/QE57_IO_PLUGIN.dir/src/E57Filter.cpp.o

@DrTph To fix libQPCL_PLUGIN.so and libQPCL_IO_PLUGIN.so, add -DBUILD_tools=OFF to PCL's PKGBUILD and rebuild it, then rebuild cloudcompare. To fix libQCANUPO_PLUGIN.so, install cloudcompare-git.

Today I struggled a bit to get CloudCompare to load LAS files. This helped me:

CloudCompare -LOG_FILE /tmp/cclog.txt

That showed that libpdal_base.so.12 was not found, so the PDAL plugin was not being loaded. libpdal_base.so.12 was installed in /usr/local/bin which is not searched by default in Arch Linux. I don't know if this is the best place for those libraries or not. They are older and provided with CloudCompare, and thus might conflict with what community/pdal provides in /usr/lib/. Anyway, one fix for this is:

sudo bash -c 'echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usrlocal.conf'

Is a fresh login needed to make that take effect? Also you can add /usr/local/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

At the same time I cleaned up a config warning about UTF8 by installing utf8cpp. It might be good to add this as a dependency.

I'm still getting a couple errors in that CloudCompare log:
