Hello, You probably have a bit older version of boost which doesn't have has_value() method for optionals. Easy fix is to just remove the method call, optional has explicit boolean operator with equivalent semantics. But yeah this should be fixed upstream. On Fri, Jul 16, 2021 at 1:40 AM Alex

Re: [Kicad-developers] Any pointers to speed up the build

Few things that can help 1. Disable qa tests build if you don't need them 2. Disable python scripting if you don't need it 3. Use MSVC if you are on windows. Their linker is a LOT faster than gcc. 4. Use more powerful hardware. Those steps take <10s on my pc but it's a 12 core 3900x. Best, Andrew

Re: [Kicad-developers] Fatal Python error: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding

What I usually do if I have to setup new MSVC build of kicad is I just install the latest nightly first and then let VS(code) do "cmake install" into the same directory. That way all python dependencies and dlls are already there from nightly build and it just works. Note, I use RelWithDebugInfo

Re: [Kicad-developers] Questions to the QA code

I would also suggest to look towards gtest/gmock. It's widely adopted, works with cmake out of the box, has integrations with popular IDEs and a good choice of supporting tools like parallelized runners, GUI inspectors etc. You can also use gmock separately from gtest. Andrew On Sat, Jan 16,

Re: [Kicad-developers] Hoping to contribute but I have some questions

Hi Brian, If you don't have experience with c++ and GUI code in general I would suggest you start by familiarizing yourself with wxwidgets framework that KiCad is built on http://wxwidgets.org/docs/tutorials/ A lot of KiCad code will make more sense once you understand GUI threading and event

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Symbol library file format

Hi Wayne, I would like to take this opportunity to do an elevator pitch for idea of using one of IDL languages widely accepted in the industry like Apache Thrift or Google Protobufs to define formats in KiCad. There are few large benefits in favor of using such languages: 1. They are self

Hi Adam, Please note that current paths are actually correct for previous versions of MacOS. I'm not sure exactly when the change happened but the paths you are suggesting are valid for latest versions of MacOS and kicad. Maybe it's worth to add a note stating that these paths are correct for

Seth, It might be related to action plugin buttons I added. Try it with scripting and action menu on. Code to rebuild toolbar is gated by KICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU iirc. Regards, Andrew On Wed, Oct 10, 2018 at 1:26 PM Seth Hillbrand wrote: > Hi Jeff- > > Can't reproduce here. Running both
