If for whatever reason you encounter problems with version 2.1.01, you can try
version 1.0 instead. It is much older, and lacks many of the features of
2.1.01, but may work better on some systems.

These modules translate LDView to run in different languages. They are
maintained by their respective authors, and not by the LDView developers. If
you have any questions about a specific module, please contact the author of the
module you are using. See inside the zip file for installation instructions.
If you would like to create your own tranlsation module, please contact
me for instructions. Visual Studio is
required to create Windows translation modules.
NOTE: Translation modules only work with the LDView
version listed. If your translation module is only available for an older LDView
version, you'll have to use the older LDView version.

Source zips are no longer being created. If you want a particular version, you
need to use anonymous CVS to get it. You'll need a CVS client. If you're
using Windows, you can get a free one from
cvsnt.org. That site also has a number of
OS distributions, but CVS comes standard on any other OS that LDView has been
tested on.
To get the latest LDView development source via anonymous CVS, execute the
following commands on the command line (hit enter when prompted for a password
after the first command):
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ldview.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ldview login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ldview.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ldview co -P LDView
To get the source for an earlier version of LDView, replace the second command
from above with one of the following commands (for 4.0.1, 4.0, 3.2, and 3.1
respectively):
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ldview.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ldview co -r v4_0_1 -P LDView
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ldview.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ldview co -r v4_0 -P LDView
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ldview.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ldview co -r v3_2 -P LDView
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ldview.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ldview co -r v3_1 -P LDView
The Windows source was originally written using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, but is
now mostly maintained in Visual Studio 2005 Express. Since Visual Studio 2005
Express doesn't have a resource editor, UI work is still done in Visual Studio
6.0. It should successfully build in both environments, but INI file support
will only work if built using Visual Studio 2005 Express, as that code uses
features that aren't present in the Visual Studio 6.0 compiler. For
instructions on getting it to build in either of these environments, please read
Build.txt in the main LDView directory after checking out the source code.
The QT version was developed in using QT 4. You will need to
have QT 4 installed on whatever system you compile it on. In addition, you will
need libpng and zlib (both standard on most/all Linux distributions), along with
the Boost library (which is standard on Fedora Core, but may not be on other
distributions). If you don't have Boost, read boost.txt in LDView's QT
directory, and follow the instructions there. I'm not 100% sure they'll work
right, but hopefully they will.
(Note: If you want to compile the QT version on a Mac, please contact me. This
has not yet been documented. The following paragraph is for Linux compiles,
although the instructions will likely work on other *nix systems that have QT
4.)
To compile LDView, go into the QT directory and type ./makeall. This
will run the script that builds what you need. (If you get a permissions error,
change the permissions on makeall to make it executable.) If it works, great.
If not, you're mostly on your own. Feel free to contact me if you can't figure
out the problem, but bear in mind that I may not be able to help much. LDView
doesn't have any configure scripts, but it has been successfully compiled in
Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X (and maybe AIX).
Linux binaries are compiled from latest CVS snapshot for most popular distributions
(Arch, Centos, Debian, Fedora, RedHat, SLE, Scientific, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu) on
OpenSUSE Build Service:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:pbartfai/LDView
Direct access to binary files:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pbartfai/
Note: Automatic LDraw library update feature on Ubuntu packeges compiled on
OpenSUSE Build Service is disabled because boost libraries are not available on OpenSUSE Build Service for Ubuntu due to licensing.
