Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:

IMHO happened after marking sci-mathematics/cgal-5.6 stable recently.
After masking (i.e. using cgal-5.5.2), builds again.

Patch to fix constness in MeshBoolean.cpp

Own local constness fix patch under /etc/portage/patches/media-gfx/superslicer-2.5.59.2-r2/ allows to build again with latest CGAL 5.6.

List of patches increases, more so when trying to build newer versions.
Maybe latest 2.5.59.7 release comment, indicating more time towards development, will improve situation?

Still fails later with meshboolean patch applied


MeshBoolean patch fixes an error but it still fails for me later on.

different topic, wrt newer Boost 1.84.0 stable, dropping deprecated string_file -> bug 918510

I fixed the patch (see attachment) to address this.

[Comment 8 Niklaus 'vimja' Hofer 2024-03-11 13:35:55 UTC]

I can confirm this is still an issue, both on x86 and aarch64 - current ebuild (2.5.59.2-r2) fails to build with the same error when compiling MehsBoolean.

[Comment 9 William T Wilson 2024-03-16 03:50:11 UTC]

The current upstream version is 2.5.59.8, perhaps the newest version has dealt with this issue.

With the MeshBoolean and load-string patches, I'm able to build 2.5.59.2-r2.

Best option is to follow snova at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8818654.html and install the upstream 2.5.59.8 version entirely. He gives a very good explanation at the end of his thread.
