Re: [Kicad-developers] Building with visual studio? looking for a tutorial.

nick, use the attached patched on kicad :3 Under vcpkg, wxwidgets is put into a unix like dependency tree meanwhile the wxwidgets script assumes crazy prefixed distributed by wx scheme. With this it'll at least find the right path. If you are using VS2017, here's a sample CMakeSettings.Json

Re: [Kicad-developers] Building with visual studio? looking for a tutorial.

The findwxwidgets script in kicad is screwy, it can't even find wxwidgets in msys2 if I invoke Msys2 via a secondary terminal/application (i.e. using msys2 as a toolchain rather than shell directly). On Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 7:02 PM, Nick Østergaard wrote: > I can't make cmake

Re: [Kicad-developers] Building with visual studio? looking for a tutorial.

I can't make cmake find wxwidgets from vcpkg. I think Thomas Figueroa also uses vcpkg, but he built wxwidgets himself to overcome this. So I think something is missing for wxwidgets in vcpkg, or something else is not quite right in that corner. 2018-03-12 23:36 GMT+01:00 Mark Roszko

Re: [Kicad-developers] Building with visual studio? looking for a tutorial.

Wayne, Long term there is good news, VCPKG exists. https://github.com/ Microsoft/vcpkg right now its separate but eventually it'll be part of VS. (But it works now). It's like msysbut for MSVC and it builds packages locally and puts them in a central store. I think most of Kicad's

Re: [Kicad-developers] Building with visual studio? looking for a tutorial.

Tom, I would prefer KiCad not be in the business of providing dependency binaries. I can't stop anyone from providing them but I would rather developers focus on kicad development rather than our dependencies as much as possible. The whole point of removing all of the dependency build code from

Thanks for the information everyone. Maybe some day when I have a few spare seconds and am feeling motivated, I will take a look at it. Wayne On 3/12/2018 12:46 PM, Jon Evans wrote: > The free version is actually very complete for many use > cases: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/compare/ > >

No doubt I'm out of touch. :) It's been at least 10 years since I used msvs. It's great that they have decided to support open source development tools. I'm may to to check it out when I get a chance. I'm guessing they have a minimal free version available or have they stopped offering that?

Way out of touch now Wayne ;) VS can open CMake projects directly without generator. Also supports GDB.MINGWand even ships with Clang. MS even patched all their VC++ headers to be compatible with Clang. I haven't tried this yet though, but in theory it should be possible to run

Re: [Kicad-developers] Building with visual studio? looking for a tutorial.

It's been a really long time since I've done this but you should be able to tell cmake to create a VS project (`cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 [arch]`") and then use msvs to build. You might want to disable python scripting, oce, and ngspice unless you feel like building msvc variant of

I'm going to try this just to see where I get, but I'm not an expert. One other thing that might be worth trying is to use Qt Creator to build/debug. It can be used as a frontend for GCC/GDB and might get around your Ctrl-C issue. On Fri, Mar 9, 2018 at 9:48 AM, Tomasz Wlostowski
