Hi Just tried to build this using opencascade package by doing small changes to PKGBUILD (KICAD_USE_OCE to OFF, KICAD_USE_OCC to ON and change dependency from oce to opencascade) and it builds 100% OK. I am using STEP models no problem and tried STEP export of the whole board and worked 100% as well.
Maybe is is possible to switch dep from oce to opencascade so we don't need to keep both oce and opencascade when using FreeCAD as well?
@dbskcnc there is not reason to flag this package as out of date, it is a git package.
Kicad should work fine against occ
@nickoe freeimage (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/freeimage/) is a dependency of OCE. Latest freeimage 3.17.0-3 misses some symbols so neither OCE recompiles against it, nor kicad compiles with OCE living in the system compiled against 3.17.0-2.
Kicad though compiles fine if I roll back freeimage to 3.17.0-2 from the archives.
In general OCE is becoming PITA, so we should probably try to use opencascade, I wouldn't want to speculate, but I would assume there is a big cross-section of people that use both kicad and freecad at the same time, so using different spins of opencascade is a bit redundant.
What is freeimage, and how does it relate to kicad?
Building kicad fails with the latest freeimage (dependency of OCE). OCE compilation also fails with latest freeimage, so it's not just re-linking issue. We should definitely try compiling against opencascade, if someone has any ideas, please share.
KiCad stopped supporting Freeroute (https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg35848.html) so you should remove 'freeroute-bin' from optional dependencies.
Hi, You put CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo. The pkg is thus 1.7Go. Could you use the Release build type ?
Was someone successful in building kicad with opencascade (OCC), instead of oce. I, too, would prefer to use opencascade because of freecad. When I try to use OCC, compile fails with a dependency on PTKernel, and it seems the PTKernel module is not part of opencascade since version 6.9.1.
I do not know why, but several cross compilers fail if you define LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
You can test this e.g. by downloading crosstool-ng and trying to build any toolchain. Unless you unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH, build will fail.
