If the check fails there is little I can do about it as it most likely needs to be fixed upstream, in such cases report those upstream (maybe wait a day or two as sometimes it's quickly solved upstream) or skip the check with makepkg --nocheck if you don't care about the functionality that is being reported as failing in the check.

@xorly, @adrianinsaval:

While checking the changes of that vtk library's PKGBUILD in extra-staging, I noticed some interesting cmake variable settings that got added for hdf5. I added them here as well and just now managed to start the build of freecad-git with this patch:

@xorly, @adrianinsaval:

I have the same issue with building freecad-git.

I'll elaborate a little with my own findings. I use the hdf5-openmpi package. Setting the cmake variable 

HDF5_FIND_DEBUG=ON
before build gives me


-- Found HDF5: hdf5-shared (found version "1.14.6") found components: C HL
-- HDF5_DIR: /usr/lib/cmake/hdf5
-- HDF5_DEFINITIONS: 
-- HDF5_INCLUDE_DIRS: /usr/include
-- HDF5_LIBRARIES: hdf5-shared
-- HDF5_HL_LIBRARIES: hdf5_hl-shared
-- HDF5_C_DEFINITIONS: 
-- HDF5_C_INCLUDE_DIR: 
-- HDF5_C_INCLUDE_DIRS: /usr/include
-- HDF5_C_LIBRARY: /usr/lib/libhdf5.so.310.5.1
-- HDF5_C_LIBRARIES: hdf5-shared
-- HDF5_C_HL_LIBRARY: /usr/lib/libhdf5_hl.so.310.0.6
-- HDF5_C_HL_LIBRARIES: hdf5_hl-shared
-- Defined targets (if any):
-- ... hdf5::hdf5
-- ... hdf5-shared
-- ... hdf5::hdf5_hl
-- ... hdf5_hl-shared
-- ... hdf5_cpp-shared
-- ... hdf5_hl_cpp-shared
-- ... hdf5_fortran-shared
-- ... hdf5_hl_fortran-shared

which to my untrained eye looks like indeed the hdf5 hl libraries were found, but for some reason not recognized correctly. Querying the files of that hdf5-openmpi package also confirms that all the hl libraries for c, c++ and fortran are in fact there.

I also updated vtk from the version in extra (9.4.2-2) to the one from extra-staging (9.4.2-3), which changed the discovery mechanism of hdf5 slightly. The error remains the same though...

Hi, I have problem with build. More precisely with cmake configure fails on VTK/HDF5. Any ideas what could be wrong?

It looks like HDF5_HL_LIBRARIES is not being set for some reason...

@adrianinsaval @rbachl: missing pcl, pybind11 from the depends[] array; won't build with cmake>=4.0 without the -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 flag; freecad-thumbnailer is now installed in /usr/share/freecad/bin and fcinfo is now correctly installed in /usr/bin: http://0x0.st/8f01.diff

CMake Error at cMake/FreeCAD_Helpers/SetupPCL.cmake:11 (find_package): By not providing "FindPCL.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "PCL", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "PCL" with any of the following names:

PCLConfig.cmake
pcl-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "PCL" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "PCL_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "PCL" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:82 (SetupPCL)

@random-archer

I just ran the build with your PKGBUILD.

The build does complete, but launching freecad fails.

I added an issue with log output on your github.

random-archer commented on 2025-03-27 16:14 (UTC)

Here is an updated working config:

@random-archer AUR packages should not have ccache. It is set up by users in makepkg.conf.

As of 2025-03-17, there are missing make dependencies:

bartus commented on 2025-01-25 14:45 (UTC)

libspnav is now required in makedepnds

Otherwise, there's a linking error with missing symbols in libFreeCADGui.so
