This is not an issue with this package, sonce it just fetches latest commit. Please report a bug to kicad on launchpad and state what the real problem is.

antoniovazquez commented on 2015-02-15 13:10 (UTC)

This version of KiCad outputs gerber files that can't be sent to some PCB manufacturers as Seeedstudio or OSH Park.

antoniovazquez commented on 2015-02-12 22:25 (UTC)

Already up to date (1.12.0). Kicad needs recompiling. For any other user experiencing this, pushing an update when a dependency is updated could be nice. Thanks anyway, sorry I was not clear.

orson commented on 2015-02-12 22:04 (UTC)

@antoniovazquez 'pacman -Sy glew' should do the trick.

Tested on two machines without the -j1 option in the PKGBUILD and with MAKEFLAGS defined in /etc/makepkg.conf. Tested -j4 and -j8 and it built fine on bzr #5404.

nickoe commented on 2015-01-31 12:57 (UTC)

At once there was some problems building with jobs, but that should be fixed now, hence it is not needed anymore.

de-vries commented on 2015-01-31 12:49 (UTC)

Is there a reason for the make -j1? Building takes ages this way.

antoniovazquez commented on 2015-01-28 16:01 (UTC)

New site http://www.kicad-pcb.org Please add kicad-library-git and kicad-pretty-git as optional deps.

nickoe commented on 2015-01-25 11:34 (UTC)

Install kicad-library-git for the schematic libs, and kicad-pretty-git to clone al the footprints locally.

Shino commented on 2015-01-25 11:28 (UTC)

Hi. I've built the package. when I try to use KiCad it says that the component libraries were not found. How do I install them? Thank you

doragasu commented on 2014-12-29 11:03 (UTC)

Built it for ARM architecture (using -A switch to ignore non matching architecture) and after installing webkitgtk2, works fine on my ARM Chromebook. Great work, thanks!

nickoe commented on 2014-12-28 18:49 (UTC)

Yes, I would say so. Just for reference, see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers/kicad/product/revision/5332

Nidhogg commented on 2014-12-28 18:38 (UTC)

So, I guess webkitgtk2 should go in the depends.

nickoe commented on 2014-12-28 18:06 (UTC)

Yes,it is for the new fp-lib-table wizard. It can be disabled with a cmake switch.

Nidhogg commented on 2014-12-28 17:56 (UTC)

Is webkitgtk2 required now? Without webkitgtk2 installed, I am getting the following error when I try to open eeschema. 23:21:25: libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 23:21:25: IO_ERROR: Fatal Installation Bug missing file: '/usr/bin/_eeschema.kiface' argv[0]: '/usr/bin/kicad' from /tmp/kicad-bzr/src/kicad/common/kiway.cpp : KiFACE() : line 219

rdg commented on 2014-12-12 23:54 (UTC)

Ok, I have rebuilt again and it seems to be working now. The problem started after doing a system update in which boost, icu and other things were updated. I then rebuilt a new version in which pcbnew also crashed on startup. I have checked my pacman logs and as far as I can tell my setup was fully updated and exactly the same both times. Weirdly it must have used the old versions of the libraries somehow the first time.

parched commented on 2014-12-12 22:14 (UTC)

@rdg, I have no problems with the current version. Have you rebuilt it against boost 1.57? If you haven't, then yeah, it won't work with 1.57.

nickoe commented on 2014-12-12 21:43 (UTC)

@rdg, I have not tested this version, just to be sure. I have to problems starting pcbnew stand alone or from kicad. Please fix your system.

nickoe commented on 2014-12-12 20:03 (UTC)

@rdg, that can't be right, I use this (a little modified), but nothing that really should matter. Are you fully up to date?

rdg commented on 2014-12-12 19:22 (UTC)

This is currently broken. pcbnew fails to start, other programs ok. This can be fixed by downgrading boost and lib-boost to 1.56 and icu to icu-53.1. This is not good even as a temporary solution as it breaks firefox and other things on my system.

nickoe commented on 2014-11-12 19:51 (UTC)

So this should soon build again with the github plugin enabled. https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg15753.html

parched commented on 2014-11-10 22:37 (UTC)

Great, thanks nickoe. Anyone else using Awesome WM? Do you get this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1239633

nickoe commented on 2014-11-10 17:01 (UTC)

Just FYI, we are just waiting for Wayne (or anyone with commit access) to update avhttp. See https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg15689.html.

nickoe commented on 2014-11-09 18:07 (UTC)

Ok, I have sent a request upstream to handle it.

parched commented on 2014-11-09 18:06 (UTC)

https://github.com/avplayer/avhttp/issues/24 kicad has an old zip here https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror/tree/master/pcbnew/github

nickoe commented on 2014-11-09 10:54 (UTC)

Parched, do you have an upstream reference for this?

parched commented on 2014-11-09 09:01 (UTC)

vv It's only needed by the github plugin, so can turn that off to build

parched commented on 2014-11-09 08:41 (UTC)

This is broken at the moment with boost 1.57. It's because of avhttp which this uses, avhttp upstream has fixed it but that hasn't made it into kicad yet.

nickoe commented on 2014-10-18 12:23 (UTC)

Some problems with the cmake depends, but they have been gixed upstream now. So -j1 can be removed from the PKGBUILD now.

ckoller commented on 2014-10-18 12:18 (UTC)

I compiled rev 5200 yesterday with make -j10 and it was working fine! What where the problems to be limited to -j1?

cgx commented on 2014-10-07 18:29 (UTC)

The -j1 is probably unnecessary since rev 5166. At least I don't have issues building anymore with -j2 or -j4

spradlim commented on 2014-06-29 02:25 (UTC)

Yes you are right. I don't use bzr and for some reason was confused when looking at the PKGBUILD. Thanks

nickoe commented on 2014-06-28 22:12 (UTC)

You are not wrong about that, but the PKGBUILD do build the latest version automatically.

nickoe commented on 2014-06-28 06:58 (UTC)

@spradlim, why do you want that version? The new pns features is already merged with the product branch lp:kicad.

liquibyte commented on 2014-04-29 23:54 (UTC)

I went through and uninstalled a ton of stuff that yaourt was reporting as no longer needed. I'm sure it will break other things but I did finally get Kicad to build. I'm not sure what was getting in the way but this installation is at least 5 years old and I'm bad about cleaning. Getting segfaults trying to run things from the main window using the buttons but I can call the programs directly so it's an issue that I can work around. My apologies and thanks for the help. I'll work out the rest on my own.

keenerd commented on 2014-04-29 20:36 (UTC)

Giving it a quick glance, two things look very suspicious. Ancient stuff like bison 2.7 (instead of 3.0) and wxgtk 2.9 (which was basically 3.0-pre and should not be installed, period). I suggest you start a thread on the forum instead.

keenerd commented on 2014-04-29 13:38 (UTC)

Prebuilt packages: http://pkgbuild.com/~kkeen/kicad-bzr/ Interesting to see that using their custom boost only costs 10% more build time and 120KB more install space. Considering boost-libs is 11.5MB, and all the fuss they kick up about patching boost, it seems they are not using boost for very much.

keenerd commented on 2014-04-29 04:07 (UTC)

Stock/official everything compiles fine for me. Not a single custom package in the tree used by Kicad. Liquibyte, how about instead of asking us to list stuff, you list what you have installed? Because your problems seem unique to you.

liquibyte commented on 2014-04-29 03:44 (UTC)

depends=('glew' 'wxgtk' 'hicolor-icon-theme' 'desktop-file-utils' 'boost-libs') makedepends=('cmake' 'bzr' 'zlib' 'mesa' 'boost') Where in here is there a dependency for wxWidgets? I didn't even have that installed as nothing I use depends on it. So I'm thinking maybe I need this and I tried installing 3.0.0-1 from AUR because stable is out of date and oddly enough, I'm the one that flagged that too because the source url is incorrect. Version 3.0.0-1 fails to build so I went back and looked at the PKGBUILD FOR wxwidgets-stable and updated it on the fly using the source url for 2.8.12. I got that to finish compiling and to install and then the Kicad build gets farther along but ultimately fails. My comment stands. Kicad is horribly managed and poorly written and it's just not worth the effort for me to keep debugging packages trying to get it working with the latest features. The AUR seems to be falling apart as the years progress and that is a little sad to me. I flagged wxwidgets-stable out of date back in January and it's not been updated even though all it needs is an updated url and a new checksum. One of these days the Kicad devs will update stable with the new features and maybe I'll be able to get it that way but until then, I do not wish to keep compiling and installing custom packages just to make one program work. I've heard they have major toolchain issues and that they keep it that way to "make it easier" for their devs. Maybe it's time to fork it. I wish CERN had picked GEDA instead though. If you can tell me the absolute library and toolchain that you're using, I'll double check my versions and see if I can get it working to help others out but won't keep doing it if they keep breaking things.

orson commented on 2014-04-28 19:16 (UTC)

@liquibyte I suspect that wxWidgets is guilty. Which version do you use (what package and version, if installed from repo)?
