Description (last modified by luzpaz)
The next iteration of FC (v0.18) will be py3/qt5 compliant. We need testers to be able to test this before the next release. Over at github the OSX team which mainly works with homebrew[1], have created a build that builds against Qt5[2]. It would be useful if Macports was on the same page. Edit: Added upstream ticket[3]

There is a homebrew tap hosted on the FreeCAD github org that has a py3/qt5 port https://github.com/FreeCAD/homebrew-freecad @Schamschula could you use that?

See comment 3!
I don't have time to chase development builds, nor am I and expert on Qt5.
Volunteers are welcome!

Taking a look!
It looks to me as if Homebrew is still using Python 2.7...
As usual, cmake
gives a warning about not finding openmpi
. I'll ignore that for the time being.
The next problem is posed in porting the med-file
dependency: the patch file https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/hdf5-1.10-support.patch?h=med used by Homebrew no longer exists. I found a version that does not apply cleanly. Lots of manual editing. I got this to build. Homebrew is using version 3.3.1, but upstream is at version 4.0. I also built version 3.3.1.
With freecad
I get numerous build errors, as 0.18_pre is 2202 commits behind the development sources. I see little point building using the current sources, and will wait for a new snapshot.

Can you try again with 0.19_pre? It appears to support python 3 along with Qt5.

The project now seems to be at release v0.20.1. Macports is currently at @0.18.5_1, and still depends on Python 2.7.
Maybe updating a more recent version would allow to move forward and resolve other issues?

FreeCAD v0.21 has been released: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.21.0
Is there a someone that is willing to pick up the mantle on this ?

We don't have a freecad-devel port, so we'll tackle this when FreeCAD 0.18 is released. The Homebrew formula builds the same version, 0.17, as does MacPorts.
