Thanks Ries and showard314

That was exactly my error.  After fixing that:

lrelease error: Cannot open /home/c/d/Repository/src/git/LibreCAD/ts/librecad_sv.ts: No such file or directory

After that I tested the build by running

cd unix && ./librecad

It opened LibreCAD OK; it looked fine and I drew a few lines OK.

Installing LibreCAD from source would be easier to follow if the commands which should be on separate lines were shown on separate lines or the commands were separated by appropriate shell metacharacters (and the Java syntax highlighting could be removed because it is not meaningful).  For example

cd ~  mkdir source  cd source  git clone <a href="git://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.git">git://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.git

would be

cd ~  && mkdir source  && cd source  && git clone <a href="git://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.git">git://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.git

and

cd LibreCAD qmake make

would become

cd LibreCAD && qmake && make

or, if qmake return code is not useful/reliable, simply

cd LibreCAD && qmake; make

I am willing to change the page.

Best

Charles
