thanks… Owing to David Strubbe’s previous messages, I found the correct place on github and was able to install the older bison as well as, at last, openscad. > On 6 Dec2020, at 3:35 PM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: > > > > On Dec 5, 2020, at 19:51, Murray Eisenberg wrote: > >> Those instructions

Re: installing openscad

Did you look at this part of the instructions? For example, if you wanted to install the older 8.4.16 version of tcl, browse to the lang/tcl directory and look at its history
