[BrainStorm]

I thought I had found an IRIX port of FreeCAD recently, but I think it may have been the FreeBSD port, and I'm just confused. I plan to actually use FreeCAD on my Octanes to design real products. Does anyone have any knowledge of the readiness of the current FreeCAD source (0.17.xxx) to be run on IRIX?

Compile:

Install(-ish):

If it actually needs some coding work in order to work properly in IRIX (at least to the level that the source permits on any platform), do we have any devs willing to have a crack at it? I think it would be a fantastic package to attract some new SGI/IRIX enthusiasts, as well as satisfy the cravings of us engineer types already here.

added: Look at it this way, FreeCAD will probably be a direct replacement for AutoCAD r13, which has the third highest hit count for SW threads here, only outdone by Discreet and PowerAnimator. I really think we need FreeCAD on IRIX.

I shall now stop begging, and retire to my cave. Thank you
