OpenCascade is now the default when building KiCad.  This includes the 
5.1 branch.  This was done because OCC fixes a few bugs in OCE and OCE 
support will eventually be removed.

Package developers should adjust the platform build and install 
dependencies to OCC as required.  If a platform doesn't support OCC, 
configure builds with -DKICAD_USE_OCE=ON -DKICAD_USE_OCC=OFF in order to 
build against OCE.  Also, make sure OCE is uninstalled from your system 
before installing OCC as library conflicts can cause issues on some 
platforms.

Cheers,

Wayne
