Project: The FreeCAD Plugin Installer


Community Bonding Period


  • Discussion about the project proposal.
  • Build FreeCAD from source on Archlinux.
  • Shifted to Ubuntu and tried building. Discussed the dependencies issue faced on IRC.
  • One issue was solved by creating a symlink of libfreeimage.so to /usr/lib from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ due to a bug on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial).
  • Another issue I was facing was related to C++.
   c++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)
   Please submit a full bug report,

It was due to the make -j4 as it made the compiler run out of memory. Never happened on Archlinux though.

  • Discussed to use PySide and Qt.
  • Learning PySide.
