Compilation testers needed

[-alex-]

you need to install the "qt5webengine-dev" package (or its equivalent in your OS of choice)

Thank you, I'm struggling to find which package is missing. I guess everything needed is already installed:

sorry for french locales

hummm, my bad maybe. There is qtwebengine5-dev which is maybe a good candidate:

Edit: qtwebengine5-dev was the missing one, everything is fine now. That's compiling... slowly on Raspberry PI4
Actually I was already compiling Linkstage3 with make -j3. So I'm compiling FC PR7647 in paralell with... make -j1
Il will report tomorrow
@user1234 , thank you anyway

I'm struggling to find which package is missing.

Debian will be similar like Raspian, then libqt5webengine5, maybe also libqt5webenginewidgets5 (optional, when it does not work).

When it compiles and it does not run properly, then maybe some python bindings are missing, like python3-pyside2.qtwebengine or python3-pyside2.qtwebenginewidgets. But it must not be the case, i do not know if in the sources it is used.

Greetings

edit: color else hard to read

Another Qt5/Qt6 compatible change: git commit ec553a9292

[hko]

@-alex- I presume you are getting that error when trying to compile against Qt5, not Qt6, right? If that is the case, you need to install the "qt5webengine-dev" package (or its equivalent in your OS of choice) using your system package manager.

What has not been made clear is that commit 2f7be9e782b080d774dbba1b826333e43a97708d not only adds support for building against Qt6, it also covertly changes Qt5 support. The build used to support Qt WebKit in addition to Qt WebEngine but now supports only Qt WebEngine. I don't have a problem with that since qt5webengine-dev package is available in the OS that I use but it could have been communicated in the commit message and the first message of this thread.

qtwebengine5-dev was the missing one, everything is fine now. That's compiling...

That's ok now, it compiles fine with Qt5.

Only a few operating systems seem to be packaging these - Qt themselves encourage installing using pip (which of course makes life difficult in the cMake file, but we've got some workarounds in there).

I have found this list of source and binary releases: https://download.qt.io/official_release ... n/pyside6/
It shouldn't be too difficult to build the shiboken6/PySide6 binaries with the local Qt version.

Compiles ok on FreeBSD 13.1 (but also w/ PR #7728)
I can try Qt6 when I have some more time.

I can try Qt6 when I have some more time.

When doing so you have to cherry-pick the four top commits of this branch: https://github.com/wwmayer/FreeCAD/commits/Port_Qt6
And you have to disable the build of TechDraw since it's not ported yet.

[wmayer]

Current status of the Qt6 port

Required packages:
Additionally to the mentioned packages in https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 50#p637350 these must be installed too:

• qt6-webengine-dev-tools
• libqt6webenginecore6-bin

In order to build PySide6 you also have to install:

• libclang-14-dev (or the suitable package for your OS)
• qt6-base-private-dev
• qt6-declarative-private-dev

Now there is a somewhat weird behaviour with the webengine module. In order to load the StartPage correctly the system expects some resource files to be in ~/.FreeCAD. To fix the crash you have to run:

Code: Select all

cp /usr/share/qt6/resources/qtwebengine_resources.pak ~/.FreeCAD/
cp /usr/share/qt6/resources/qtwebengine_resources_100p.pak ~/.FreeCAD/
cp /usr/share/qt6/resources/qtwebengine_resources_200p.pak ~/.FreeCAD/

Many more commits have been pushed to master to fix several build failures. So, now it's even possible to run the self-tests but at the very end the application must be killed due to some modal dialogs coming from the Addon-Manager unit tests. Here a mechanism must be implemented that the dialog disappear automatically.

ToDo:
Unfortunately there are still a lot of old-style connects in the code base that won't work any more with Qt6 because signal or slot functions have been renamed or removed. For some reason Qt6 doesn't seem to print any warnings any more if the call of connect() has failed.
