Re: [Kicad-developers] Building Kicad on Windows 10/Eclipse/Msys2

[Brian Piccioni]

Eeli and Carsten   Thanks for the additional info.   The reason I was working of the git information was in response to Simon earlier in this thread who suggested it.   If git was the way to go I wanted to include it because people like me find that there is typically plenty of instructions regarding the use of development Tools on things like Linux but very little on Windows/msys. Moreover, accomplished developers know this stuff implicitly whereas the rest of us do not.   Same goes for things like cmake, etc..   Brian   From: Eeli Kaikkonen Sent: November 23, 2019 4:35 AM To: Carsten Schoenert Cc: KiCad Developers Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] Building Kicad on Windows 10/Eclipse/Msys2       la 23. marrask. 2019 klo 11.11 Carsten Schoenert (c.schoen...@t-online.de) kirjoitti: Hello Eli, Am 23.11.19 um 10:03 schrieb Eeli Kaikkonen: > BTW, it's unnecessarily verbose to say "git pull origin master".

If you have only one remote configured git tries to be smart and is substitute the rest for the command by the obviously logical value. So, if you want to be safe than the full command line is correct.   Oh yeah. I took a shortcut and thought about my normal situation when I have checked out a branch (master), although I added " when you are in the local master branch". Anyways it's best to give as simple instructions for getting the source code as possible and leave everything else for homework for the user.   Eeli (with 2 e's)
