I wound up trying again today and I had to:

ln -s
/home/tcameron/Downloads/LibreCAD/LibreCAD-master/librecad/support/doc/img
/home/tcameron/Downloads/LibreCAD/LibreCAD-master/librecad/support/doc/imgs

and then

cp
/home/tcameron/Downloads/LibreCAD/LibreCAD-master/librecad/support/doc/img/librecadlogo.png
/home/tcameron/Downloads/LibreCAD/LibreCAD-master/librecad/support/doc/imgs/LibreCADicon.png

Then it compiled.
