Installing LibreCAD3.0

Greetings

Dunno as to the 'proper' location for this request.
Also dunno as to the minutae on the etiquette so please just beat me somewhat if I overstep. (Remember - - - - beatings will continue until morale improves - - - - LOL!)

Following is where I'm at in the install (on Debian testing running using open source video drivers (Nouveau) on a multi-monitor system (if that might make a difference).

shows that I do have some of the cairo packages installed.

I needed to install quite a number of new packages and many with their -dev counterparts to get to this point.
Likely missing something simple but I don't know what (sorry!).

Am suggestions on how to break the logjam?

TIA

Thanks, latest devs affected the build. Issue noted, let's look into this.

Thanks - - - - maybe it wasn't my incompetence then (grin!)?

Is there anything that I can do to 'help' (besides keep out of the road)?

Hi! Could you please share a few more details?

Did you follow the conan build instructions or attempt to manually install the dependencies? Also if possible could you share the entire build output in the console and CMakeCache.txt?

Hello,

When you compile software depending on libraries on Debian, you need the -dev packages. Here, it looks like libcairo2-dev is missing.

However, Cairo is not required for the main LibreCAD executable (only for unit tests and the CLI version). When generating the CMake files (cmake ..) you can add those options:
cmake -DWITH_LUACMDINTERFACE=FALSE -DWITH_RENDERING_UNITTESTS=OFF -DWITH_CAIRO=OFF ..

No Conan here - - - - that would seem to be for M$ Win systems - - - - not Debian AIUI.

the CMakeCache.txt file is some 26 screen long - - - - do you need all of it?

Please advise.

Thanks.
Tried the install - - - - didn't change anything.
Tried the command - - - -still complaining about missing the BZIP2_Library.

Thanks for the help!

CMakeError.log_from_debian_stable_install

Trying to do some sleuthing, I'm no programmer - - - just trying to see if there's something that I 'could' change, above is the CMakeError.log for my install. I had not remembered that this first install was actually done on Debian stable.

I thought I try an install on Debian testing as my main work machine is running on that.

CMakeError.log_from_Debian_testing_install 

It would seem that a similar compile 'error', although a different number is listed', is causing the issue.

Hoping that this added information is useful.

TIA

Tried adding the libharfbuzz-dev packages to get a working install but still no joy.

Did a -make whilst disabling cairo (as described in a github issue thread) and was then able to get a working install.


Hopefully not too dumb a question - - -  what I was able to achieve seemed somewhat truncated - -  (yes I get that its development level software) - - - is it 'safe' to say that LibreCAD3.0 still has  away to go before prime time - - - yes?

Is there anything a non-programmer can do to help move the progress forward?

I don't think the software is ready for that yet but I would be quite interested in say something like writing docs/how tos etc.

Please advise.
