PKGBUILD to build an Archlinux package for QCAD Professional Edition

README.md

QCAD Professional for Archlinux

This PKGBUILD can be used to create an Archlinux package for the Professional Edition of QCAD. This allows the system package manager to be aware of the installation, and avoids conflicts with a potential parallel installation of the Community Edition.

It also ensures that everything is removed when uninstalling, using the distribution package manager (pacman).

Usage

Requires the user to purchase a QCAD Professional License and manually download the .tar.gz archive. It should be placed in the same folder as the PKGBUILD before running makepkg.
