[Request] ZCAD Simple CAD program

Ravenman · 2013-12-02 17:31:30

Hi to everyone:

Could anyone package this?: ZCAD

ZCAD is a simple CAD program with dxf2000 file format support.

More info here

A lot of thanks.

I'm seeing it's own dir structure, no source tarballs, and only a Lazarus build system. Probably easiest to just download the pre-built tarballs on sourceforge and dump everything in /opt (for a PKGBUILD) or in your home dir (to just use it).

There's a little bit of hint of how to make fpc PKGBUILDS in the wiki

Scimmia · 2013-12-02 20:14:35

I would do something like this:

pkgbase=zcad
pkgname=$pkgbase
true && pkgname=("$pkgbase-common" "$pkgbase-gtk" "$pkgbase-qt")
pkgver=0.9_svn778
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Simple CAD program"
arch=('x86_64')
url="http://shamangrad.ru/project.php?act=view&prj=zcad"
license=('GPL2' 'LGPL2' 'custom')
source=("http://sourceforge.net/projects/zcad/files/Linux%20x86_64/${pkgbase}_v${pkgver}.7z"
#       'http://svn.shamangrad.ru/zcad/trunk/COPYING.LGPL.txt'
#       'http://svn.shamangrad.ru/zcad/trunk/COPYING.modifiedLGPL.txt'
       )
sha256sums=('fc1b06911d67eefb231e8ca9ed33e934e1de9afff9aea4de552636ec88e7fcf8'
#           'SKIP'
#           'SKIP'
           )

package_zcad-common() {
  cd "$srcdir/cad"

  install -dm755 "$pkgdir/opt/zcad"
  cp -a * "$pkgdir/opt/zcad/"
  rm "$pkgdir/opt/zcad/"zcad-{gtk,qt}

#  install -Dm644 "$srcdir/COPYING.LGPL.txt" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgbase/COPYING.LGPL.txt"
#  install -Dm644 "$srcdir/COPYING.modifiedLGPL.txt" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgbase/COPYING.modifiedLGPL.txt"
}

package_zcad-gtk() {
  depends=('zcad-common' 'gtk2')

  install -Dm755 "$srcdir/cad/zcad-gtk" "$pkgdir/opt/zcad/zcad-gtk"
  install -dm755 "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
  ln -s "/opt/zcad/zcad-gtk" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/zcad-gtk"
}

package_zcad-qt() {
  depends=('zcad-common' 'qt4pas')

  install -Dm755 "$srcdir/cad/zcad-qt" "$pkgdir/zopt/cad/zcad-qt"
  install -dm755 "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
  ln -s "/opt/zcad/zcad-qt" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/zcad-qt"
}

The licenses are commented out because of an SSL problem on the server end. Probably just need to download them manually.

I just downloaded zcad and it can be un7z'd and run directly with zcad-qt or zcad-gtk

Yup.
Scimmia's PKGBUILD makes it easier to update (via pacman) and puts it in the $PATH.

I mentioned that in my first post. Personally, I don't like having programs in my home dir like that; you'd want to add it to $PATH and that gets pretty hacky as you do more and more. If it was just in ~/bin, no problem, but for programs that need their own file structure, it's usually best to put things in /opt and use either symlinks or small scripts in /usr/bin/ (or /usr/local/bin/ if you're not using a PKGBUILD).

Doing a PKGBUILD also adds the nice feature of dependency resolution. qt4pas isn't exactly a common package to have installed. Splitting the package up is nice as well.

nomorewindows · 2013-12-02 23:37:57

It might need qt4pas if you use zcad-qt. This might just be an optional dependency. No problem with the PKGBUILD but I was curious as to whether it would compile out of the box. Untarring is all that it needs. It won't makepkg when I use your snipet though, I get

bsdtar: Pathname cannot be converted from UTF-16LE to current locale.
/usr/bin/makepkg: line 390:  5015 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) $cmd -xf "$file"

Scimmia · 2013-12-02 23:46:45

Some of the dir names extracted are in russian. bsdtar handles them just fine for me, can you try just extracting the 7z file manually with "bsdtar -xf <filename>"? How about "LC_ALL=C bsdtar xf <filename>"?

The zcad-qt binary is dynamically linked to libQt4Pas.so.5. qt4pas is required.

Neither worked.
I'm also getting

 bsdtar[5015]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000408608 sp 00007fff03af7380 error 4 in bsdtar[400000+97000]

in my dmesg. Maybe I have something else going on?

Something is definitely wrong with your bsdtar/libarchive, but I don't know what. I took a quick look through their bug tracker and the commit list since the last release, I didn't see anything that jumped out at me as being related. This might need a new bug report.

nomorewindows · 2013-12-03 22:54:47

It works ok with 7z.

mickele · 2014-01-08 15:11:58

Source code is available at http://svn.shamangrad.net/zcad/trunk/.

Scimmia · 2014-01-08 16:51:54

Yeah, but without a comprehensible build system. I mentioned that in my first post. You can't exactly use Lazarus in a PKGBUILD.
