Build Debian Packages

Requirement: libarea

HeeksCAD requires libarea, this section will explain how to build and install libarea using the Debian way.

Install build dependencies

sudo apt-get install git build-essential debhelper cmake libboost-python-dev

Fetch sources

git clone https://github.com/Heeks/libarea.git

HeeksCAD

When libarea is correctly installed, we can build HeeksCAD packages the same way.
