Checking out the QCAD Sources
To check out the QCAD source code, please clone our git repository as follows:
git clone git@github.com:qcad/qcad.git
Or (using HTTPs):
git clone https://github.com/qcad/qcad.git
The procedure to compile the source code depends on the platform you are on:
Windows
Mac OS X
Linux
If you are using Solaris, FreeBSD or an other unix system, the Linux instructions might also work for you.
Windows
1.Download and install a C++ compiler and Windows SDK, for example:
Visual Studio C++ Express
Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4
2.Download and install Qt (see supported platforms):
Download for example the ZIP file called qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4.zip
Extract the ZIP file
Configure Qt. E.g. on cygwin with: configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2010 -debug
or:
configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2010 -release
Compile Qt. E.g. on cygwin with nmake or jom:
nmake release
Add the path to the Qt binaries (for example C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4\bin) to your PATH environment variable
Set environment variable QMAKESPEC to win32-msvc2010 or the appropriate downloaded version
3.Configure QCAD. For example on cygwin with:
cd /home/user/qcad
qmake -r
4.Compile QCAD. For example on cygwin:
nmake release
Alternatively, you may want to use jom, an nmake clone which speeds up compilation significantly by using all available CPU cores:
5.Launch QCAD. E.g. from cygwin with:
./release/qcad.exe
Mac OS X
1.Download and install the latest version of XCode for your platform.
2.Download and install Qt (see supported platforms):
Download for example the tar.gz file called qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4.tar.gz
Extract the tar.gz file:
tar xfvz qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4.tar.gz
Configure Qt:
cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4
./configure -fast -opensource -arch x86 -release \
-no-qt3support -qt-zlib -qt-libtiff -qt-libpng -qt-libmng \
-qt-libjpeg -confirm-license
Compile Qt:
make
Add ~/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4/bin to your PATH environment variable:
export PATH=~/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4/bin PATH
3.Configure QCAD:
cd ~/qcad
qmake -r
4.Compile QCAD:
make release
5.Launch QCAD:
cd release
./QCAD.app/Contents/MacOS/QCAD
Linux
1.Check that you have the following (including dependencies) installed:
gcc version 4
make
libx11-dev
libxext-dev
libxrender-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev (Ubuntu)
libfreetype6-dev (Ubuntu)
libfontconfig1-dev (Ubuntu)
libssl-dev (Ubuntu)
libdbus-1-dev (Ubuntu)
libsm-dev (Ubuntu)
Mesa-devel (OpenSUSE)
dbus-1-devel (OpenSUSE)
libsm-devel (OpenSUSE)
glu-devel (OpenSUSE)
2.If you wish to compile / run QCAD 3 32bit on a 64bit Linux installation, you will also need:
ia32-libs
Mesa-32bit (OpenSUSE)
3.Download and install Qt (see supported platforms):
Download for example the tar.gz file called qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4.tar.gz
Extract the tar.gz file:
tar xfvz qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4.tar.gz
Configure Qt:
cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4
./configure -fast -opensource -release -no-qt3support -fontconfig -dbus \
-sm -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-libmng -qt-zlib -openssl -opengl desktop \
-xrender -webkit -confirm-license
Compile Qt:
make
Add ~/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4/bin to your PATH environment variable:
export PATH=~/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4/binPATH
4.Configure QCAD:
cd ~/qcad
qmake -r
5.Compile QCAD:
make release
6.Launch QCAD:
cd release
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./qcad-bin
