I had spoken with ngspice devs and they have suggested me a workaround for the bug. Unfortunately, it requires a patch that is currently not included in the release version, so we resort to building from the source again.
To ease the pain, I have updated get_libngspice_so.sh [1]. Now it should build the correct library version for Linux, Windows (mingw64) & OS X. I have managed to run the script successfully on all the mentioned platforms, but I still do not have KiCad compiled on OS X, so I was not able to test it there. I have updated the ngspice branch in my github repository [2]: - applied fixes for Win7 & OS X (thank you Jean-Pierre & Johannes) - resized dialogs, so all the fields are visible and windows fit 1024x768 - fixed a few minor bugs - corrected demo circuits - cleared, formatted & documented the code & added some documentation I consider the code ready for merge. If there are no objections, I would like to proceed next week.
