Hi! I'm just starting with KiCad development. I got it to compile on both MSys2 and Ubuntu, and did my first patches for practice.
A full compile takes about 35 minutes on my machine. ccache can get this down to ~15 minutes, but doesn't help much if I touch a common header file. Also, I seem to have to do "make install", to actually try out KiCad. This will always build all applications, even if I only want to try out changes to Pcbnew. So - how do you work? - Is 30 minutes the expected turnaround time for trying out changs? - Is there a trick to only build, say, Pcbnew, and start it from the build directory without doing make install? - make install is also a problem if I want to keep multiple binary version of kicad side-by-side. It would be much nicer to just be able to start it from a build directory. But the kicad-launcher isn't able to start the other applications then. - Is there some documentation of how to set up Eclipse for rapid kicad development and debugging? I could figure it all out myself, but surely someone has done it before.. best regards, thomas _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
