Comment 2 for bug 696909

Hello Maneul,

Thanks for your quick attention.
However since i dont have much background in Ubuntu I would like you to
clarify as what does it mean to add those -dev packages to "build-depends in
control file" ?
I found that using Ubuntu Software centre I could install those -dev
packages; but would that suffice?

And yes Boolean operations are very important for Computer Aided Design
operations. It allows one of add, subtract, merge etc of one object with the
other. Although K-3D is an animation s/w and animators can get going without
them, people who want to work with CAD and looking for free s/w like K-3D,
it is very important.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers
Anand
