Description Niklaus 'vimja' Hofer 2022-11-17 13:48:07 UTC 
I have successfully built and run media-gfx/freecad on arm64, specifically version 0.20.1. I think the ebuild should support arm64 officially.

Note however, that for that purpose, I had to build OpenNI2 from an alternative source that includes patches for arm64. Basically I used the same source as is used on Debian. I have opened a bug on that here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/780666

Here is the list of rules I added to accept_keywords:
sci-libs/med **
media-libs/quarter **
sci-libs/orocos_kdl **
dev-python/pivy **
media-gfx/freecad **


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add ** keyword (see above)
2. emerge www-apps/hugo
3. Run hugo

Actual Results:  
It works!

Expected Results:  
It works!

I like the idea, although I'm not having a arm64 based machine. I think it should be doable, as upstream officially supports OSX builds and I remember some posts about building on the new arm64 based Apple architectures (M 1?) on their forums.

If there are no objections from the arm64 arch team, I'd say let's give it a try.

Comment 6 Niklaus 'vimja' Hofer 2022-11-18 16:04:54 UTC 
In the "steps to reproduce" section, of course, it should not say "www-apps/hugo" but "media-gfx/freecad". Copy & paste error. Sorry about that.
Comment 7 Roy Bamford gentoo-dev 2022-11-19 11:57:30 UTC 
Portage won't let me build both dev-libs/OpenNI2 and dev-libs/OpenNI, so I've opted for dev-libs/OpenNI2. 

Meanwhile I've found bug 881995 so  media-gfx/openscad won't build for me.

sci-libs/pcl has USE flags for openni2 and openni, but AFAIR they can't be used together. To be able to successfully keyword pcl, I think we still need to keyword both packages.
Comment 9 Roy Bamford gentoo-dev 2022-11-19 19:01:43 UTC 
There are two patches in my devspace at  https://dev.gentoo.org/~neddyseagoon/OpenNI2/ that apply to dev-libs/OpenNI2-2.2_beta2-r1 and let it build an arm64.

Its the head commit from aarch64-and-ppc-develop with one hunk removed and recreated separately because the code had been refactored.

They apply from /etc/portage/patches/dev-libs/OpenNI2/ for me.

Oh, I'm not an ebuild qualified dev. Only a forums admin.

dev-libs/OpenNI2 needs patches to build on arm64.
sci-libs/pcl will need a package.use.mask on openni, so that it cannot be selected.
media-gfx/freecad will need a package.use.mask on openscad see comment 7.

All this means that media-gfx/freecad looks promising for ~arm64.

With bug 881995 fixed, the PR needs to be updated.
I should get to that by the weekend.

Comment 24 Niklaus 'vimja' Hofer 2025-02-02 15:08:30 UTC 
With OpenNI2 gone from the dependencies, I think it's about time to add the ~arm64 keyword. I've been using FreeCAD on arm64 for years now. Really the only difficult bit I've ever had was with OPenNI2. Other than that installation / compilation has been going smoothly and the software runs just fine.
