Description Rik Mills 2020-01-28 11:10:08 UTC

Only openbabel 2.x seems to be supported

-- Checking for module 'openbabel-2.0>=2.2.0'
--   No package 'openbabel-2.0' found

So as Ubuntu 20.04 LTS now has openbabel 3.0, a kalzium build using it can not be shipped with 20.04.

This blocks introduction of the molecular editor into Debian, but I hope it'll be possible to enable building it soon: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=951674

Patch available at https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/kalzium-openbabel3.patch?h=packages/kalzium

Waiting for 3.0.1 to upstream it, because the cmake files are utterly broken in 3.0.0 so you need to pass all cmake variables manually

Comment 4 Antonio Rojas 2020-02-20 07:22:27 UTC

Builds with 
cmake -DOPENBABEL2_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/openbabel3 \
      -DOPENBABEL2_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libopenbabel.so \
      -DOPENBABEL2_VERSION_MET=TRUE

Upstream has given no indication of planning to make a release soon, so I've filed a bug to bring the CMake issues to their attention.

Upstream is now certain that they will release 3.0.1 soon, which will switch to being able to use FindOpenBabel3 and fix many other issues.

3.1 is release, I've submitted my patch for review

Awesome! OpenBabel 3.1.1 is making its way into Debian Unstable shortly, so when the dust settles it'll be easy to add your patch and get this enabled
