Compile and Install LibreCAD 2

The goal of this task is to compile and install LibreCAD from source code.

Compiling software depends on your operating system, what you have installed, and tools being used. You'll have to figure things out, but ASK QUESTIONS. :)

Go to the LibreCAD website at http://librecad.org and download the latest source distribution or obtain our source code from our repository. You will also need a C/C++ compiler, a toolkit called Boost, and another called Qt. Once you have the sources, read the README.md file and follow links to additional steps. These resources will help:

SUBMIT a screenshot showing the date of compilation, version number, and, of course, your name if you successfully install and run LibreCAD. Type your name into the Layer List and open the About dialog where it displays the version and compilation date.

SUBMIT detailed notes, logs, and screenshots of your compilation progress if you are not successful.
