LibrePCB
Michael:
A question to the C++ programmers:
Is it technically possible to port LibrePCB to OS/2? Do we have the necessary prerequisites for this? Or would the effort be excessive...

Dave Yeo:
Quickly looking. It is a Qt app, which we support. It has a dependency on OpenGL, which we don't have (well a really old one) so without it, no 3D support. The killer is it mentions a Rust Crate. We don't have a Rust port and it might not be possible to build with Rust on 32 bit platforms due to lack of memory. Whether the Rust is a hard dependency or not is not obvious but likely is.
Bed time here, might look better at it tomorrow.
Martin Iturbide:
Hello
The Gemini AI tells me that LibrePCB started using the Rust Toolchain in version 1.3, but it may be right or wrong.
Maybe LibrePCB 1.2.0 can compile.

Hmm, quickly trying librepcb-1.2.0, the build quickly dies here,
--- Code: ---CMake Error at /@unixroot/usr/lib/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake:28 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5OpenGL" with
any of the following names:
Qt5OpenGLConfig.cmake
qt5opengl-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "Qt5OpenGL" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"Qt5OpenGL_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"Qt5OpenGL" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:188 (find_package)
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
--- End code ---
The readme does claim that OpenGL is optional along with another library. Have to look closer after work.
Michael:
Thanks Dave for your effort.
