Hi folks, I do not think we should work on the build script anymore. If the build script worked very, very, well, it still doesn't help the vast majority of our users, and by having the build script, we implicitly sign up for supporting every user that wants to use it.
Completely honestly, I think that as soon as we have KiCad binary releases, we should eliminate kicad-install.sh and turn it in to documentation instead of something expected to be exectuable. We already *have* a build script--it's CMake! If you're not debugging or adding features to KiCad, I don't think you should have to compile it. The maintenance of this script has a very real cost--this weekend I spent most of Saturday setting up a backports PPA instead of working on binary releases, and someone just reported that the kicad-install.sh script doesn't work in Fedora 20 because the wx-config script is called wx-config3.0 or something like that.
