Hi Bernd I've finally managed to do it. After reading various txt install and compile text files, I followed the guide i used upto the point where i got the error, then just used the "cmake ." cmd and then "make" and " make install". I did the same for the Kicad-doc and Kicad-lib source files, and it all installed in the right place.
What I like about the source files is the 3d packages. The resistors have all got there own values, with the appropriate colour bands on them. When I was using Kicad on windows, I was creating my own set of 3d modules, by adding bands to the resistor module, but it was very time consuming. Don't understand why these files are not included in the compiled packages that are available to download in the first place.. Thanks Andy Ps And your quite right. I am not an experienced developer. Wish I was though. I would love to be able to contribute to this wonderful program --- In [email protected], "Bernd Wiebus" <bernd.wie...@...> wrote: > > Hello Andrew. > > > > So how do I install the latest stable version on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS using > > the source code??? > > A step by step guide would be very hellpfull > > Perhaps i would appreciate this for Debian Lenny (i think very similar but > not equal) too. > > At moment, i run the version from 05-05-2010 for Ubuntu 8.10 at Debian Lenny. > Or is it a little bit assumpting, to try building from the sources without > being an experienced developer or system admin? > > With best regards: Bernd Wiebus alias dl1eic > > > -- > GMX DSL SOMMER-SPECIAL: Surf & Phone Flat 16.000 für nur 19,99 ¿/mtl.!* > http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl >
