Yes, you're on the right track. Your SVG file is fine. But libredwg does
not require texinfo-non-free or any kind of non-free software.

You could try with more samples, or even with the files you want to
convert. The testSVG converter is still very incomplete. It is ment as a
proof of concept actually, but you can use it to convert simple files to
SVG.

Please keep in mind that libredwg is still alpha, and not ready for
production use. It is only a library, but other production software such
as GRASS and LibreCAD are in the process of incorporating it.

If you are interested in coding, you can start by improving the SVG
converter. Please let us know if we can be of any help.
