Description Fedora Fails To Install 2026-01-14 19:09:34 UTC 
Hello,

Please note that this comment was generated automatically by https://pagure.io/releng/blob/main/f/scripts/ftbfs-fti/follow-policy.py
If you feel that this output has mistakes, please open an issue at https://pagure.io/releng/

Your package (slic3r) Fails To Install in Fedora 44:

can't install slic3r:
  - nothing provides libboost_filesystem.so.1.83.0()(64bit) needed by slic3r-1.3.0-49.fc43.x86_64
  - nothing provides libboost_thread.so.1.83.0()(64bit) needed by slic3r-1.3.0-49.fc43.x86_64
  - nothing provides libboost_nowide.so.1.83.0()(64bit) needed by slic3r-1.3.0-49.fc43.x86_64
  
If you know about this problem and are planning on fixing it, please acknowledge so by setting the bug status to ASSIGNED. If you don't have time to maintain this package, consider orphaning it, so maintainers of dependent packages realize the problem.


If you don't react accordingly to the policy for FTBFS/FTI bugs (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/), your package may be orphaned in 8+ weeks.


P.S. The data was generated solely from koji buildroot, so it might be newer than the latest compose or the content on mirrors. To reproduce, use the koji/local repo only, e.g. in mock:

    $ mock -r fedora-44-x86_64 --config-opts mirrored=False install slic3r


P.P.S. If this bug has been reported in the middle of upgrading multiple dependent packages, please consider using side tags: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#updating-inter-dependent-packages

Thanks!
Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2026-01-14 22:11:25 UTC 
Unfortunately, this is pretty much a dead project upstream nowadays. I will see if we can use the patch from the upstream issue, as did Debian before they removed the package, see https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/issues/5197#issuecomment-3745864053
Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2026-01-14 22:38:27 UTC 
The patch from Debian https://salsa.debian.org/3dprinting-team/slic3r/-/blob/boost1.88/debian/patches/Fix-FTBFS-with-boost-1.88.patch?ref_type=heads solves the immediate problem, but then fails to build later with some Perl XS stuff I don't really understand.

Since this is upstream dead, I suggested we retire it: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/3dprinting@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/FCLXPVDO2N3ES3AU42Q63YMN4QVBVV53/
Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2026-01-22 20:58:39 UTC 
The Perl errors seem like the ones from bz2431532. I'll try building that with an older perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS when we have perl-Wx installable.
