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.

the build block below works without python2

@greyltc thanks! I've fixed the dependency issues mentioned below.

Yes, definitely freecad-python3-git should be redundant with this package. And I think it would be great if there was no trace of python2 here (if possible).

Great, thanks @lonaowna, you're a co-maintainer now!

@greyltc I could also help out. It might be also be time to look into merging with freecad-python3-git which seem to works pretty nice now (freecad has also switched to python3).

@zegentz, would you like to co-maintain this?

Please excuse my ignorance, but why the version part from the package name, i.e. freecad-python3-git-0.17.r2599.g87bf7094a-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz, differs with the version info provided by the "About Freecad" menu: (redacted) ... Version: 0.18.15455 (Git) ... Hash: ca7dd2e1c369dc23d2a79b3eb5ac6381dfd54990 ... It's just curiosity, maybe someone here knows... Thanks

Oh my, this was a !!FUN!! package to get to work.

Soooo, you guys are missing a couple dependencies when it comes to pyside and shiboken (and a couple others). I can't tell you which, because I ended up installing every AUR package with those two in it's name:

$ pacman -Q | grep "coin\|shiboken\|webkit\|webengine\|pyside\|qtpy"
coin 3.1.3-18
coin-docs 3.1.3-18
kdewebkit 5.56.0-1

python2-pyqtwebengine 5.12-2
python2-pyside 1.2.4-9
python2-pyside-tools 0.2.15-3
python2-pyside2 5.12.1-1
python2-qtpy 1.6.0-1
python2-shiboken 1.2.4-4
python2-shiboken2 5.12.1-1
qt5-webengine 5.12.1-3
qt5-webkit 5.212.0alpha2-23
qtwebkit-bin 2.3.4-9
shiboken 1.2.4-4
shiboken2 5.12.1-1
webkit2-sharp 2.10.9-2
webkit2gtk 2.22.7-1

Then that still didn't work, so I manually compiled the {python-,}shiboken2 packages in the extra/community repos, but with a slightly modified PKGBUILD to allow for support for llvm-svn:

   make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

And then it compiled, but the web browser didn't work! Gave an error along the line of WebGui module not found, or something like that. So I installed a couple packages which I thought might fix the issue (alas to no avail).

Then I just did this and it worked:

 }

And it worked! Luckly I don't have to care about deps, cause I installed everything with web{kit,gui,engine} in it's name.

The package depends on python2-netcdf4. Please add this to the list of dependencies.
