Gentoo Linux, upgrade from community to pro edition
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2009 6:22 am
I am currently running the Community edition of QCAD (2.0.5.0) on my Gentoo Linux system, and am in the process of upgrading - I'm finding that the method in the FAQ and QCAD book works, but is a bit of a nusiance.
The way Gentoo's Portage installer put the community edition on my system, I can start it directly from the KDE start menu, where I get a nice Icon under the Office submenu, and all the program files live in program space, not in my /home directory (IMHO executables shouldn't be stored in /home)
From poking around in the file system, it appears that currently, the QCAD executable is in /usr/bin, and the rest of the files are in /usr/share
I'd like my pro edition to have a similar setup - but I notice that the file setup I get when opening the pro edition doesn't look at all like what I have in the community edition, so what files should I put where when moving the pro-edition stuff around?
Likewise, how should I install the parts library for the pro-edition?
Thanks,
