Dwg support is a work in progres.

To compile are needed all dependencies of LibreCAD and google test:
http://code.google.com/p/googletest/

Another option is disable test build (only used in libdxfrw develop)
To disable comment line #7 in tests/libraries/libraries.pro (#        libdxfrwtest \)

I now, it is "Work in progress". So I can act as tester ;-)

I tried to compile googletest. But need more help. Perhaps it needed to place at some suitable folder (as it is not installed systemwide).

So tried with disabling it.

Compiled successfully.

But on trying to  open a dwg file, it says: Can't open /path/to/file/foo.dwg Please check the permission.

--debug information is:
