I finally managed to compile and run #FreeCAD under #Gentoo on my #mnt #reform2.

This was my 3rd attempt in 2 years. It was one of the very last pieces of software I was still missing.

If anyone is eager to try out the recently published version of #inform7 to write #interactiveFiction before the IDEs have caught up with the changes: I have just written a short blog post on how to set up Inform and a basic project and build + package it from the command line. Worked even out of the box on the ARM-based CPU of the #reform2! Will be fun continuing my previous IF attempts on the reform's mechanical keyboard :D

I put my custom lid for the #MNT Reform 2 online: https://git.chaostreffbern.ch/vimja/mnt-reform-lid

The version with the Chaostreff Bern logo is probably not very useful to anyone, but the repository also contains a plain version with no logo at all. This could be useful as a starting point for adding your own design.

For those like me who are not aware of the #som #systemonmodule architecture used in the the reform2 laptop after seeing a dozen of online videos i think the following nails it down better as an introduction.
