Compiling LeoCAD in any GNU/Linux

LeoCAD is a LDraw file editor, a open format to make LEGO(R), TENTE(R), EXIN CASTILLOS(R), etc... virtual models.

I follow this steps to compile Leocad:

1. Install subversion and the necesary libraries to compile QT code:
   sudo apt-get install git libqt4-dev zlib1g-dev
2. Download the lastest version of code in a folder, for example $HOME
   cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/leozide/leocad/
3. Change to this directory, compile and install:
   cd leocad
qmake leocad.pro
make
sudo make install 
4. If we use the LEGO library we might launch the software with this command (I suppose you download the library in /opt/ldraw/lego):
   leocad -l /opt/ldraw/lego/

You can also use the Tente® 3D library, then the comand to run might be:
leocad -l /opt/ldraw/tente
If you compile in a raspberry pi, use qmake-qt4 leocad.pro instead of qmake leocad.pro.
