compile pproblems with muparser

I have problems building LibreCAD (latest git clone) on Debian. Although
I have installed muparser-dev package, the problems were still there, I
don't know why the package could not be found.

However, I was able to at least locate the problem. The file
"librecad/scr/muparser.pri" has the following condition:

macx|win32|equals(build_muparser, "true")|!packagesExist(muparser){...

while the file "libraries/libraries.pro" has the following condition:

macx|win32|equals(build_muparser, "true"){...

So if the last condition (!packagesExist(muparser)) is fulfilled, then
"../../generated/lib/libmuparser.a" is added to the LIBS but there are
no instructions in makefiles to build the library. The solution is to
make the condition in libraries.pro equal to the condition in
muparser.pri.

How can I report this bug?

Thanks, Pavel

in master branch, we have:

librecad/src/muparser.pri:

macx|win32|equals(build_muparser, "true")|!packagesExist(muparser)

This issue seems to be fixed.

but the problem is in libraries/libraries.pro - please check it once more.

Thanks, Pavel

I tried clean build on Debian 7 and muparser was detected:

ldd unix/librecad output:
libmuparser.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmuparser.so.2

dpkg -S /usr/lib/libmuparser.so.2
libmuparser2: /usr/lib/libmuparser.so.2

Well, I have also got muparser detected on one clean Debian 7 machine. However, if the muparser-dev package is not installed, the problem is still there. The muparser delivered with LibreCAD source code can be compiled, but the libraries.pro file must be fixed as I suggested.

fixed in master branch, commit 143104b

OK, thanks. I've found LibreCAD as a great system. Now, once I managed to build the application, I plan to implement some new sort of splines, which would go through the defined points and which would be possible to divide and draw with patterned line style. This is, I believe, quite a hard task for the current B-splines implementation. The idea behind is to approximate intersection of two cylinders, for example. I will create a new thread if I make any progress.

yes, we would like to have spline and spline interpolation curves, i.e., spline curves to pass given points.
