Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

I'm from the LinuxCNC community formerly EMC2 and LinuxCNC is only released on LTS and the current version is Ubuntu 10.04. Is it possible to install LibreCAD on this platform? Thousands of users want to know... well maybe hundreds.

Thanks
John

John,

I assume this means I need to install the source from the Git repository. I must have had an internet glitch earlier on today when I tried. I'm used to using Git with LinuxCNC being on the development team. It seems to be going ok now...

I'm on the IRC channel at the moment if you want to chat a bit...

Thanks
John

Seems it is easier than you think to install on 10.04 thanks to r00t4rd3d

For Ubuntu 10.04 use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:showard314/librecad
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install librecad

This installed 1.0.0.beta5 is that the latest version for Linux?

That is an old version of librecad, 1.0 beta 5. But it will work. You
should be able to compile it from git to work on the older ubuntus.

For the record, the newest versions are in:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:librecad-dev/librecad-daily

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks for the update Scott.
