[Kicad-developers] How many users does KiCAD have?

2021-05-18 Thread Avishay Orpaz
I understand it's a tricky question to answer, especially when it comes to open source software, but is there any estimation about the number of active KiCAD users? How many (commercial) companies use KiCAD? How many people downloaded each version of KiCAD? Avishay

I just looked and the 5.1.10 windows build is using OCE. I thought we switched over to OCC for msys2 builds but apparently not. I have switched to OCC on my windows msys2 builds. I think we should switch the msys2 5.1 builds to OCC because it resolves some issues. Wayne On 5/17/2021 3:21

Make sure that OCE is not installed along side OCC. I also had to add "-DOCC_INCLUDE_DIR=/${MINGW_PREFIX}/include/opencascade" so that FindOpenCASCADE.cmake could find the header files. Everything else should build as normal. On 5/18/2021 9:12 AM, Nick Østergaard wrote: It did not work

See https://gitlab.com/eelik-kicad/kicad/-/wikis/How-to-build-KiCad-on-Ubuntu-(the-easy-way) The reason I started this thread was that I saw that practically all packages were using OCC already, so it's available. On Tue, May 18, 2021 at 6:04 PM Kevin Cozens wrote: > > How will this affect

[Kicad-developers] SPICE_VALUE behavior

2021-05-18 Thread Sylwester Kocjan
Hello! Ive noticed a minor bug in SPICE_VALUE class. Could you please let me know if we should parse SI units in SPICE strings or ignore them, so I can fix it? I think ngspice accepts units like, V, I, Ohm, but this may be an overkill. The easiest solution is to ignore everything after number

Hi Sylwester, I don't know that we need to support SI units in spice strings but I suppose it wouldn't hurt. That would have to wait until V7 as it is a new feature. The test cases look correct so I don't see any issues here. - Wayne On 5/18/21 2:06 PM, Sylwester Kocjan wrote: Hello!

I would prefer we keep this change to 5.99/6.0 only and not force a default change in 5.1 builds. There are enough other dependency changes going on for future v6 that packagers/users have to handle I think it is more reasonable to force it there. -Ian On Tue, May 18, 2021 at 5:35 PM Eeli

Hello Avishay- We do not currently have telemetry for KiCad directly. But we do have some metrics on downloads as a proxy for installations. We average ~1500 downloads per day from the KiCad website. This is relatively steady over time and works out to 225,000 downloads of KiCad 5.1.9. This

Hi devs, I'm doing my first build from source, using msys2 on windows. I (shallow) cloned the main repository. I downloaded the tools and dependencies using pacman, according to here: https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/build/windows-msys2/ Now I should be able to run cmake, but cmake fails.

Mm, normally you should use the mingw env in msys2, from your prompt it appears you use the msys env. Normally I would expect all psths it uses for binsries to be unic like, that is /c instead of c:/ ons. 19. maj 2021 02.55 skrev Clifford Neal Simon : > Hi devs, > > I'm doing my first build
