I've seen several other topics related to similar issues on this forum but they seem geared towards people using the qt suite of tools, ie. qt creator, and what not.

FWIW, I can build freecad from source using homebrew on macos latest version of mojave which brew uses the standard cmake procedure to build the application, and the build succeeds, and manages to find and link against all the necessary libraries, so i'm not sure why when i attempt to build freecad without using a homebrew formula i run into this build error that seems to be related to QT.

all the freecad dependencies i build and link against are installed via homebrew, i'm using clang & clang++ provided by the llvm brew package.

so i'm not sure why i'm running into this issue. i opened a discussion on the freecad forums as well, but haven't found a solution yet.

and the formula file i'm working with is here

please let me know if any other info i can provide will resolve this issue. my main goal to build and install freecad not using the formula file, but rather using the standard cmake & make. I'd like to use ccache to hopefully speed up build times, install an arbitrary directory, and eventually begin editing and modifying the source to hopefully send PRs upstream.

happy holidays

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you check the freecad sources to check wether there .ui file contains a widget named like this ?
