Update

This release has an issue with the addon manager as described in this forum post, and further discussed/reported in this forum thread

Fix ✅

to get the addon manager working again is change the authentication for the addon manager from SERVER to CLIENT keep in mind in believe this disables SSL while using the addon manager so be aware. 🚨

This is an Apple .app bundle I created yesterday using as many of the upstream hombrew-core formula as I could, while still attempting to build in as much of the app as possible ie. this build should contain a working FEM module based off netgen/ngsolve. I also included the SPNAV modules for those who have those fancy mice.

the cmake command I used to setup the build folder,

cmake \

-DUSE_PYTHON3=1 \
-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE="$bp"/bin/python3 \
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR="$bp/opt/[email protected]/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/include/python3.9" \

-DFREECAD_CREATE_MAC_APP=1 \
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$bp/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.2/lib/cmake;$bp/Cellar/coin3d/4.0.0_1/lib/cmake;$bp/Cellar/pyside@2/5.15.2/lib/cmake;$bp/Cellar/llvm@11/11.1.0_3/lib/cmake;$bp/Cellar/[email protected]/6.2.2104/Contents/Resources/CMake;" \
--graphviz=/opt/code/ltmp/freecad-deps-with-netgen/freecad.graphviz.macapp.dep \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/beta/freecad.aplbundl.amd64 ../freecad-src/
  • the $bp environment variable is set to my $(brew --prefix) as I'm working with multiple homebrew installations on this build box.
  • several of the QT formula/packages install rcc and uic i believe, qt@5, shiboken, and pyside@2 all provide these binaries, but i got the best results using the binaries provided by pyside@2 when running brew link pyside@2 and making sure the binaries provided by pyside@2 overwrote existing binaries in the $(brew -prefix)/bin.

a couple of notes about building an Apple .app bundle. i still haven't attempted to build the app bundle using the provided freecad.rb formula contained within this tap, but hopefully i can start refining that formula sooner rather than later.

it's also in my interest to successfully build the Apple .app bundle on Big Sur box, hopefully provide M1 and amd64 builds of the .app bundle and even attempt to have all setup using github provided actions using CI/CD in the distant future.

this bundle required so modifications to the freecad source code unfortunately due to the fact that i have homebrew setup for this build $USER in /Users/microbrewer/homebrew. i'll attempt to send PR to the upsteram freecad repo about updating the build instructions, but for now, a common issue i ran into while assembling an apple .app bundle

-- ERROR: Unable to find LC_DYLD_LOAD entry: @loader_path/libicudata.69.dylib

the quickest fix i found to allow the python2.7 script, is to modify the CMakeLists.txt and define the path to my icu install dir. there are some hardcoded paths in the src/MacAppBundle/CMakeLists.txt that can use some updating to be more robust.

if i failed to find any issues with this release, please let me know so they can be resolved in future releases.
