Installing (in simulation mode because it pulls in an enormous amount of stuff) freecad and freecad-docs in Wheezy LTS from Wheezy backports works for me (why qt4-dev-tools?) using apt-get. Viz apt-get -s -t wheezy-backports install freecad freecad-docs. Or maybe I'm not following you closely enough. Should be straight-forward (famous last words). -- Hypertext--or should I say the ideology of hypertext?--is ultrademocratic and so entirely in harmony with the demagogic appeals to cultural democracy that accompany (and distract one’s attention from) the ever-tightening grip of plutocratic capitalism. - Susan Sontag
