Arch Linux User Repository

The GitHub URL for releases has changed but the PKGBUILD has not been updated;

Line 24: change ${pkgname%-bin}-git-${pkgver} to ${pkgname%-bin}-git-debug-${pkgver}

Still have this error: curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://github.com/Bonnee/freecad-build-arch/releases/download/20240322stable.r0.gda98001cfe/freecad-linkstage3-git-20240322stable.r0.gda98001cfe-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

I had to install a missing dependency: fmt.

$ freecad
freecad: error while loading shared libraries: libfmt.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Latest opencascade in Arch breaks this package (assuming you update the PKGBUILD). Errors on start look like so:

10:21:10  During initialization the error "libTKMesh.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" occurred in freecad.fc_cadquery

Downgrading to opencascade-1:7.6.3-3 solves this.

I had to update PKGBUILD

    Aborting...

Thanks for the package. Recently an update of something broke this package again. Part.so sounds kind of important. Maybe a rebuild will fix the issue?

Thanks for this package. Recently when I try to launch it, I have got an error and the window is opened without any tabe, toolbar, ...
