CompileOnWindows - Someone to repair broken link to libpacks please? THNX a lot.

Post by vcfbauplusfe »

Hi all out there,

could someone of the editors of the FC WIKI please repair the
broken link to the libpacks on the WIN Compile page?

https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/CompileOnWindows

===Third Party Libraries=== <!--T:3-->
You will need all of the [[Third Party Libraries]] to successfully compile FreeCAD. If you use the MS compilers it is recommended to install a [http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-ca ... 20LibPack/ FreeCAD LibPack], which provides all of the required libraries to build FreeCAD in Windows.
You will need the Libpack for your architecture and compiler. FreeCAD currently supplies Libpack Version11 for x32 and x64, for VS9 2008, VS11 2012, and VS12 2013.

IMHO the link above it should be replaced by

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-ports-cache/releases

Thanks a lot.

Have a nice day all - Volker

Hi,

as I just got the permissions to do so, I replaced the link according to your suggestion as it bothered me too. Your suggestion seemed to be correct from my guess. Lets see how much protest will come up.

@sgrogan actually there are still mistakes on that page.
Check out https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Compile ... ource_Code
There are still sourceforge references. Do you mind clearing those up?
I also fixed a few other things on that page as well.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

the entire page seems not quite uptodate I think. I saw some more links which seem to be outdated, just corrected the one to QtCreator Download as well. But actually it looks like a bigger issue and I might not be the right person as I am quite new to the whole project. But asap I will try to correct what makes sense to me.
