I really like having a real 3D CAD program on Fedora but unfortunately with the 0.17 release there are multiple issues that need to be addressed and I just don't have time time, or frankly the expertise, to deal with them.
FreeCAD has a lot of dependencies and bundles some of them which I have unbundled, but with the new release it doesn't like the versions (or the forks) that are in Fedora such as smesh and OCE.
Here's all the links for the history of the problems...
smesh: The version of smesh in fedora is version 6 and is provided by this fork: https://github.com/tpaviot/smesh/issues/55
With issues: https://github.com/tpaviot/smesh/issues/46 https://github.com/tpaviot/smesh/issues/55
If there was a source of smesh 7 compatible with OCE 0.18 that might work. There is also smesh 8 but it can't build with OCE 0.18...
My attempts to get help from the forum: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28003 https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28229 https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=29248
Any takers?
