Depending in the license of course, but re-inventing wheels is a bit boring.
So I head off to go see if I can build freecad, but an hour later, on pclos, no. The QT Webkit dependencies (-devel stuff) is missing from the pclos repo's so build.sh terminates: checking whether QtWebKit is available... no checking for Qt >= 4.3... configure: error: Cannot find Qt meta object compiler (moc), bye... QTWebkit is installed (as libqtwebkit) but no -devel files are in the repo. Damn this sucks. However, it does appear that freecad is in far better shape than heekscad for available dox. That file alone is 26 megs in the tar.bz2 I pulled. Sigh, while I appreciate the near absolute stability of pclos, stuff like this has me burning Centos6 disks. I have a machine I call goat cuz its sacrificial, so I think its next install is on those 2 dvd's now.
