For now I get errors with the new Boost version (1.75) requiring c++14, where Freecad builds with -std=gnu++11.

I'm testing this. I don't really know where that could come from.

On Majaro, I'm getting the same error as r00tr4t. CMake is failing:

Determining if the function pthread_create exists in the pthreads failed with the following output:
Change Dir: /tmp/makepkg/freecad-linkstage3-git/src/FreeCAD/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

Somehow ld is looking for pthreads instead of pthread. Created a simple CMakeLists.txt with

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.7)
find_package(Threads)

and the output is

I got some errors while trying to install this package. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=53768&p=462370#p462370

This package now works correctly (at least on my Manjaro). Sorry for the delay.

Freecad still doesn't install desktop file and pixmaps at the right place, but that's under discussion upstream : https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=47159&sid=c5703be3aace9897b2e652af1fcccd7a&start=10

There was a major Python update this month, and the developer is not using Arch. I informed him about the bug, but so far there is no solution. Please take a look for yourself https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/commits/LinkStage3

I noticed the Python update and didn't update it. So far everything compiles fine, last build was on 2020-12-11. And I got tired of fixing the downloadable PKGBUILD manually, so I saved myself a local version and build with the locally stored PKGBUILD.

Tried to build it but got: Run Build Command(s):/bin/ninja cmTC_092f8 && [1/2] Building C object CMakeFiles/cmTC_092f8.dir/CheckFunctionExists.c.o [2/2] Linking C executable cmTC_092f8 FAILED: cmTC_092f8 : && /bin/cc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -DCHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS=pthread_create -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now CMakeFiles/cmTC_092f8.dir/CheckFunctionExists.c.o -o cmTC_092f8 -lpthreads && : /bin/ld: cannot find -lpthreads collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. Will try to fix that to morrow, now I need sleep.

Yes, if you delete the last lines, the package works.

Does this package still work?

This is missing the dependency with qt5-xmlpatterns.
