I will try the build of boost 1.54 with all the KiCad patches first, then I will try the stock 1.57 later. On Nov 19, 2014, at 12:38 PM, Adam Wolf adamww...@gmail.com wrote: I have not switched to stock boost at this point. On Wed, Nov 19, 2014, 11:35 AM Jean-Paul Louis lou...@yahoo.com

Re: [Kicad-developers] OSX Red Blob Bug

Hi Bernhard, I plan to upgrade my OS X to Yosemite. Can you confirm that KiCad will build properly under OS X 10.10? Is there anything that I need to be aware of when upgrading the toolchain? Any advice is welcome as I am nowhere near an OS X guru. Regards, Jean-Paul AC9GH On Nov 16, 2014, at

To me, that really look like feature creep. you rarely need everything from 4 to 64 pins, and then why stop at 64? The idea of a library is that you can pick what you need, not what you can do just because you can. Most of my work life, I was pushing design engineers to reduce the number of

Re: [Kicad-developers] Footprint python plugin: Is it possible to merge ?

Hi Nick, The best would be to tune the github plugin to do just that. Access the footprints from git and have them stored locally, so changes would be faster, and user could work when not online. I thought that it was planned to have that working already (github access with local storage of

Hi Bernhard. Since BZR 5151, I cannot get any build of Kicad for OS X anymore. As I deleted the executables, I am dead in the water. I tried to build from your repository, and it does not build either. What do you suggest as a build procedure from scratch? I have deleted all the build directory
