Amit, First question is - why do you want to compile it. There are both windows and linux version ready and compiled for download? Read the manual on how to compile KiCad, it's all there. IDE? Use whatever variant you like... Remember - It's dangerous to tie up an application to a specific IDE. KiCad is written in bog standard C and C++ so choose carefully. However, You can find several open source ide's like OpenLDev. Use Google and pick the one that suits you best. Also, look for free RUP and RAD environments as this is good for your CV... //Dan
