How do I convert the community version of Qcad to the pro version, on FreeBSD?

[jcarlos77]

Hi Qcaders...

OS: Linux -> FreeBSD
Qcad 3.24.3.0 (Pro).

I have the pro version of Qcad and have been using it on Linux.
But I'm migrating my work tools to FreeBSD, so ...
Is there a way to use the pro version on FreeBSD?
I mean, I can install the Qcad community version package (or port), but dwg support is absent, among several other tools.

Is it possible to convert the community version to the pro version?
What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, QCAD Professional is only available on Windows, macOS and Linux. A lot of it's functionality depends on the OpenDesign libraries which are not available on FreeBSD. I guess it's just too small a market.

The QCAD Community Edition might or might not compile on FreeBSD.

Hi Andrew.
Thanks for your quick response.
In fact, there is a port of Qcad in FreeBSD. The community edition works perfectly.
I understand that the additions that make up the professional version are script-based. I am right?

Ok... now I got it...
The base libraries of the Professional Qcad version are not available on FreeBSD.
Are these libraries those of ODA?

Seems I'll have to, write my own app on unix.
