Requirements:

• Lazarus 2.0 RC1 (or trunk)
• FPC 3.0.4 (or trunk)

Build ZCAD:

• install cad_sources/other/rtl-generics_for_FPC304 package to lazarus if you use fpc 3.0.4
• install cad_sources/other/rtl-generics_dummy package to lazarus if you use trunk fpc
• install zcad packages from 'cad_sources/components' to lazarus
• install third party packages from 'cad_sources/other' to lazarus
• check whether the PATH variable includes path to lazbuild binary
• if need set PATH variable: $ export PATH="$PATH:/your/patch/to/lazarus/"
• run $ ./zcad.sh (or zcadelectrotech.sh) file
• open zcad.lpi in lazarus and compile
