Re: [Kicad-developers] Compiling KiCAD release version March 2011
Hello Brian, I was able to compile KiCAD successfully after your help. Only thing was I had to apply the patch after I checked out the development source code to kicad-dev in your instructions. Thank you for the detailed instructions.

I don't really see much problem in automating the process though, all the facilities are there to do it in cmake. It would be nice to give something back, it's been a long while since I've done any patches or anything and I have used KiCad a lot for both commercial and non-commercial boards. :) Best Regards, Brian. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Thanks for the reply. I did go through the CMAKE steps. I am following these steps: http://www.valvers.com/OpenHardware-KiCad But compilation gives these errors.

Milind Hi Milind, As they are my instructions (mainly so I don't forget some of the stuff in there) I should provide you some support. The problem you list is exactly as I noted on that page, it looks like you have not built wxWidgets with the modified setup.h. You must edit that file to set wxUSE_GLCANVAS to 1 and wxUSE_UNICODE to 1. This is not the same as setting the command line options for enabling unicode and open-gl. You will need to edit this file in the wxWidgets source code and then clean and recompile wxWidgets. I promise those instructions work, I did a clean build the other day and added in the __WXDEBUG__ definition for the debug build. If you still have troubles, I am willing to step through a fresh compilation by the instructions to make sure I've not messed anything up.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Compiling KiCAD release version March 2011
Thank you Brian and Dick, Sorry about my amateur questions. I did modify the setup.h file but did not recompile wxwidgets[?]. I thought it was an include file that works when I compile kicad. I will try again and will get back if I have a problem. Thank you very much.
