Therefore i am having 3 copies of draftsight installed in UBUNTU 12.04 64BIT as Native DEB file V1R2.0 and EXE file respectively in separate virtual drives using PlayOnLinux V1R1.4 and V1R2.0 runs as native app. Ultimately kept the previous version of windows version of draftSight.exe V1R1.4 in another virtual drive for backup Then I have installed the windows version of draftSight.exe V1R2.0 with using wine and PlayOnLinux with in a virtual drive (this installation replaced the b V1R1.4 32BIT which i installed on 64BIT ubuntu 12.04) Mainly with the native b V1R2.0 32BIT file implemented the changes stated above to the letter excluding the step 5 which i changed the Architecture: i386 to Architecture: all in Control file with out deleting the dependency file. Here i have installed the draftsight in UBUNTU 12.04 64BIT with use of several methods. Just a right click on b and select copy to Home folder and you're ready. deb file so keep the original file as a backup. A copy is needed because you will make some changes in the. The only change is that on Step 5 you have to remove xdg-utils from the list of dependencies.ĭownload Draftsight and make a copy of b in your Home folder. However it continues to be useful because you have to follow the same process in order to install DraftSight successfully on your 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 and newer system. Important Update (January 21 2014): DraftSight with version V1R5 changed the list of its dependencies so this workaround cannot be used "as is". So here are the instructions, don't be afraid of the number of steps, it's really a very easy process. Normally I wouldn't provide any workarounds for beta or experimental versions of Ubuntu or any other distro for one simple reason: If a distro is under active development many things will be changed until the final release.īut thanks to Normand who informed me in this post that some users are already trying to install DraftSight on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and considering that the development status is nearly at the end, I will make an exception. One of the packages that need some tricks in order to install it on a 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 system is the current V1R1.4 of DraftSight. However some 32bit packages still have installation problems on 64bit systems because they don't follow the new specifications. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will be released on April 26 with some important and useful features like multiarch-support.
