I am good with muparser,

OSX has muparser in ports, so that's not going to be a problem.

For Windows we put in the README instructions how to download muparser

for LibreCAD to compile, much like what we do with Boost at the moment.

Our Windows compiler user base is so low that I think it justifies the little

bit of extra work. And these people that can do it won't have problems.

I also agree that we shouldn't ship muparser with LibreCAD like

what we currently do with fparser.

hi,

if there's not much trouble on windows/osx side, we will choose muparser accordingly.

the switching process seems to be trivial. I'm setting up a branch to test this idea.

thanks,

coincidentally, I'm the muparser maintainer in Debian and Ubuntu

I know qtiplot and scidavis use it and it works great - it could be a
good for LC. Just FYI, they improved their library versioning so that
in theory all libmuparser2 are compatible with each other. They don't
appear to follow libtool "age" and "revision," for example
libmuparser.so.2.2.2 is not compatible with libmuparser.so.0.

As for building, I think it's fair to either ship convenience copies
or just tell users they need libmuparser.so.2 and headers to build
(package libmuparser-dev on debian systems)

For ease of distribution, I'd suggest muparser.
