Tried adding the libharfbuzz-dev packages to get a working install but still no joy.

Did a -make whilst disabling cairo (as described in a github issue thread) and was then able to get a working install.


Hopefully not too dumb a question - - -  what I was able to achieve seemed somewhat truncated - -  (yes I get that its development level software) - - - is it 'safe' to say that LibreCAD3.0 still has  away to go before prime time - - - yes?

Is there anything a non-programmer can do to help move the progress forward?

I don't think the software is ready for that yet but I would be quite interested in say something like writing docs/how tos etc.

Please advise.
