New issue by groundstack on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/17818

Description:

### System

* xuname:  
  Void 5.3.18_1 x86_64-musl GenuineIntel notuptodate rF
* package:  
  KiCAD

### Expected behavior
From PCBnew, pressing alt-3 should see a 3D view of the board with populated components, linked to individual step files.
### Actual behavior
Only displays bare PCB or board populated with WRL components.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior

Open pcbnew, select any component, press 'E' , go to 3D tab and link a step file for this package. During selection you should see a preview of the package which is not visible.

### Probable cause

Looking at template file on github:

-DKICAD_USE_OCE=OFF

This setting may need to be enabled if I remember correctly.

Comment:
I recompiled the kicad package with OCE option enabled and the packages now are viewable.

Changes on template file:

makedepends=
I removed ooct-devel and added oce-devel

then changed 'configure_args' -DKICAD_USE_OCE=OFF to ON.

I recompiled with xbps-src and installed.

This is template file as I used today: 

# Template file for 'kicad'

configure_args="-DKICAD_BUILD_VERSION=${version} -DKICAD_SCRIPTING=ON
