CAM capabilities in LibreCAD?

Claws
Hello forum :)

I have been searching for a CAM/gcode generator for Linux and found several posts referring to LibreCAD.

To my delight, I see that LibreCAD is a fork of QCAD which I bought years ago for a project.
I couldn't believe my luck, but it seems I was too hasty; I can't find CAM capabilities in LibreCAD anywhere.
I found some unanswered post asking the same on the forum, and I've found a plugin on github that doesn't compile.
So am I missing something or was CAM dropped from LibreCAD?

Thanks in advance :)

Regards,

Claws

R. van Twisk: Alright, that's too bad. I think is would be an obvious 'selling point' of LibreCAD to expand its userbase *hint* :)

Ravas: Cool. SVG to gcode tools are available it seems, it would just be cool to shorten the tool chain and have it all in one program :)

Thanks for the reply guys.
