@nickoe limiting jobs is very easy for ninja! This is makepkg.conf:

#-- Generator Flags: change this for DistCC/SMP systems
MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"
NINJAFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"

Both set currently to nproc, but you can set it to use n threads.

And removing the LD setting to respect system linker is quite easy, just remove -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS line :>

The current state of KiCad is incompatible with the latest version of protobuf (which is currently 33). Most of the features work fine, but the new IPC API is completely broken, as responses are not properly packed. If you are having trouble with IPC, try building KiCad with protobuf 29.3-1.

Thank you @Andy2. Comment in makepkg.conf states !lto is the default, but mine was also set to lto.

@anarki I can reproduce this. To fix it, disable lto (turn lto into !lto) in OPTIONS in makepkg.conf and maybe do a clean build. This made it work for me. That would also explain why building it manually outside of makepkg with the same cmake command line worked for me as well, so it is definitely dependent of the environment.

@anarki. Please report it upstream :)

Lately build fails for me at [100%] Linking CXX executable qa_spice with a lot of undefined references:

/usr/src/debug/kicad-git/kicad-git/pcbnew/pcb_io/pcb_io_mgr.cpp:286: error: undefined reference to 'PCB_IO_ALTIUM_CIRCUIT_MAKER::PCB_IO_ALTIUM_CIRCUIT_MAKER()'

@ninetailedtori Possibly. I am not sure how to limit the number of jobs via makepkg.conf for Ninja. I think I choose to use gold linker at some point, because it was a bit more light on memory usage. I am still seeing swapping when running with the 40 cores. I am not sure how I can configure the default link otherwise than as cmake arguments. Do you have some tips?

ninetailedtori commented on 2025-11-04 22:41 (UTC)

Hiya, mold and lld should both work with kicad-git, and so does Ninja generation. Would it be possible to add -G Ninja, and possibly just remove the linker argument and allow CMake to automatically select system-linker that way too, same way it does the compiler?
