For myself, Linux is much better than Windows here.

In ubuntu, you can follow howto here:

http://librecad.org/cms/home/from-source/linux.html

First, you need to include deb-src lines in sources.list for Ubuntu,

After that, it's basically:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep librecad

then, in librecad source folder:

$ qmake -r
$ make -j4

if it's successful, run the binary by:

$ unix/librecad

If need be I can install Ubuntu along side of Windows if you think Linux might be the best way for a person who is a novice with Qt to start out.

Thanks
