Hi Wayne,
I'm not sure now if that is where they should go. I looked a little through
past emails here and apparently things such as libraries, modules, etc are in
subdirectories in ~/Library/Application Support/kicad
Another thing I noticed is that the function I found to make it easy to put the
config files there was not in wx2.8, so I don't know if we want to use it. The
function is wxStandardPaths::UseAppInfo( wxStandardPaths::AppInfo_None ); and
that allows me to use wxStandardPaths::GetUserDataDir() without wx putting the
program name at the end of that path.
See the message I just sent to the list with an updated patch.
I'll see what I can do with the Cmake files. I don't know cmake and don't do
much shell scripting, so I'm not sure how to add the .config/kicad directory in
there right now.
Thanks,
Moses

Hey Moses,
If the OSX config files should go in ~/Library/Application Support/kicad
would you please update the patch accordingly. Also, could you create a
patch to send to the library developers to update the fp-lib-table
install script so it gets installed to ~/.config/kicad?
As soon as the OSX testing is confirmed and the install script patch is
ready, I will commit the changes.
Thanks,
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
One person on IRC is compiling with the patch to test on OSX. Currently
the files on OSX should go in ~/Library/Preferences/kicad, but from what
he said and also from these links, it looks like that might should be
changed to ~/Library/Application Support/kicad. I did figure out an
easy way to make the change if it is decided that is better.

The install_****_fp-lib-table cmake stuff is in the kicad library
repository, looks like under the template directory.

Can someone please test this on OSX to make sure it doesn't cause any
issues before we commit it. Also, kicad-install.sh calls `make
install_github_fp-lib-table` to install the global fp-lib-table. I
cannot find the definition of install_github_fp-lib-table in any of the
kicad CMake files. Where ever this is defined, it will need to be
changed to copy the global fp-lib-table to ~/.config/kicad.
Thanks,
Wayne
