I've got a spare machine that uses slackrepo to do my builds. It only has a AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 260 Processor @3568.121MHz. qt5 will take hours to build. FreeCAD itself doesn't take anywhere near that long.
I believe you.
Qt5 took 9 hours to build on my AMD Quad Core machine.
I work in a sheet metal shop of a roofing company and I use sketchup to draw simple 2d and 3d components so I can get the angles and dimensions, and print tracing patterns for things I have to bend up in an autobrake. I have been looking for something similar and with the ease of sketchup for use in linux

Thanks to you guys, I now have a interest in FreeCAD. Just installed it the other day. I now have FreeCAD + LibreCAD + Blender. I will weigh my options and see what is the best combination for me. The dependency hell is a PITA though.
Just as a point of clarification, Blender is not really what I would call CAD. It is a discrete modeler, useful for making visual models but not for high fidelity geometry. True CAD software uses an analytical geometrical definition like NURBS instead of flat triangulated faces.

Yeah, I know. That's why one would create a blueprint with *.CAD and import to Blender/whatever software to get functions and features the others lack. I might end up having to run all 3 depending on how well I get familiar with FreeCAD. I have read they all have advantages and disadvantages, so its no one-size fit all.
What version of Opencascade are you guys using? I have tried to build 7.0.0/7.2.0 with no luck. Got the same error about (adm) blah blah.
OpenCASCADE version 6.9.1
OpenCASCADE requires VTK
btw for others I would like to clarify installing FreeCAD didnt boink my system up. specificly
kmail and korganizer. upgrading to current did that and I searched for fix and found one thread with same problem but the referenced upgrading of MariaDB didnt fix kmail and korganizer for me.
