mklist

mklist

mklist v1.6 20100706 (C) 1999-2010 Lars C. Hassing. Replacement for James Jessiman's makelist

What does it do?

It parses the ldraw/parts folder to produce a text file with all available parts.

Obtaining mklist binaries

The included mklist.exe file is obtained from the official LDraw archives, for full compatibility with the official parts archive.

To build it from source instead, run:

make

Usage
