Yorik's FreeCAD repository
This page contains stuff related to FreeCAD.
 
Custom Builds
These are FreeCAD builds for 64bits debian-based systems (Debian, Ubuntu and derivates). They have all options enabled and have been compiled with standard optimization for 64bit athlon CPU.

Note that these builds don't include openCascade neither SoQt4, which are required to make FreeCAD work. These libraries have both recently been made availible in debian repositories, and should appear in Debian and Ubuntu package management systems soon.
These builds will install FreeCAD in /opt/, so it won't interfere in any other FreeCAD version you might have installed. I suggest you try the most recent build, unless you have some special reason to use an older one.

Additional libraries
These are libraries I compiled some time ago, that you might find useful for some reason.

The Draft module
This is a module I'm currently developing for FreeCAD, that adds basic 2D CAD functions to FreeCAD. To install it, just unzip and place the "Draft" folder into your FreeCAD Mod folder. The complete development roadmap of the Draft module is here, and the help page is here.

Note that after FreeCAD build 1514, you can choose to either install modules system-wide (in FreeCAD's own Mod folder) or user-wide (in ~/.FreeCAD/Mod). The last option doesn't require superuser privileges. Also, starting from draft version 0.1, you'll need a FreeCAD build higher than 1514.
