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.

Running makepkg with --nocheck worked, however uninstalling freecad did not. ( I just pacman -R'd it, no reboots though. I'll just run with --nocheck for now. Thank you!

I suspect the check() function is not being sandboxed properly and so part of the existing install is leaking into check() when it runs here. If anyone has any ideas for fixing that I'd love to hear them.

@cculpepper1214 you might try uninstalling freecad, then building this again or you can build it with --nocheck to hopefully avoid the issue for now.

Hello! I've been having trouble building this package, for about a week. The length of time makes me suspect something in my install is causing it, but I don't know what/how to find it. I've built from raw github source, and that worked fine.

Here's the output I'm getting:

testAll (TestPythonSyntax.PythonSyntaxTestCase) ... ok

I've also updated to the latest openscad (from openscad-git). Does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Tried it again today, and it built without problem.

Hi, I'm encountering a build error in check(), not sure if it's the package's fault or mine:

I did try removing yay's cache and the old installation, as mentioned in other comments.

Kunda, occ can't be patched here because it will need to be rebuilt with that patch. That would need to be proposed to the official occ package or submit a PKGBUILD for opencascade patched to the AUR but I don't think many people would be willing to compile occ themselves. Here is the pkgbuild for the official package: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/opencascade/trunk/PKGBUILD maybe submit a PR to patch the source there?

If opencascade is broken, seems like the official package deserves the patch no?

Upstream just cut a new release called 0.19. Can we use the patched OCCT repo (it has the fillet/chamfer fix in it) https://gitlab.com/blobfish/occt

Here's the patch by itself: https://gitlab.com/blobfish/occt/-/commit/ad0ba55f55b36dc957f66192c4766ace83f82b7e

It looks like installing to /usr/local is recommended against by the Arch Package Guidelines. Would you mind having freecad-git either install to /opt or split between /usr/share and /usr/lib like the official package does?

Apparently upstream FreeCAD has patches for OCCT that aren't official but fix some key issues. Lately there is a patch floating around for fixing a long standing chamfer/fillet OCC crash. I know that the OCC package maintainer for Debian is working to incorporate said patches in to their package. Perhaps we here at Arch could do the same?
