as KiCad moved from launchpad to GitLab, the source should be: git+https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad.git

Does anybody has a clue why it is not building and how to investigate this?

And how to proper formate postings here?

@balajiTn, it does not look like you have the real error there. Maybe post the complete output in a pastebin?

My build is failing and I am finding it difficult to spot the error. Could you please help me?

@dale6998 @nickoe it seems that at the very last step usually /tmp runs full. a solution would be to increase the size of the tmpfs to more than 8 GB. Another option would be to use a different directory for building.

@dale6998 works fine for me. Maybe you have some permission issues on your filesystem?

Have you guys seen this error?

I have the same problem as @dale6998 when using the privative NVIDIA drivers. If I switch to nouveau, or use my laptop with Intel graphics card, everything works.

Are you sure your system is updated? Maybe you updsted your graphics driver recently and may need to restart your machine.

package builds and installs, but my menus are broken and running the 3D viewer crashes KiCad...Any idea where to start looking?
