Recent change in default python to 3.12 means freecad can no longer use the default PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET. This required a freecad and a lot of deps to have python-3.11 target set for them.

Python 3.12 requires using qt6 since pyside2 is no longer maintained upstream and is not compatible with 3.12. Unfortunatly there are still many issues with qt6 in 0.21.2 that need fixing. The next releasse should address most of these problems and open the door for python 3.12 compatibility.
negril, could you try figure something out?

Backported the python 3.12 fixes from upstream as an intermediate solution. But this is only effective when using qt6, and that is not quiet ready yet according to upstream. Also added two other qt6 patches that Arch is adding to their package.
Is freecad with qt6 usable at all? I'm asking because it is quite a task to find the right use flags, and last time I tried freecad would frequently crash anyway
(In reply to Alexey Korepanov from comment #5) > Is freecad with qt6 usable at all? > > I'm asking because it is quite a task to find the right use flags, and last > time I tried freecad would frequently crash anyway There are a bunch of open issues on the upstream bug tracker[1], but it is mostly usable. Whether or not these issues are a problem for you really depends on your use case. This[2] I think is the biggest one, but we do have the patch for the navcube in ::gentoo now.
