Hello all,
I am trying to compile and run KiCad locally in a clean Ubuntu VM. I
installed wxWidgets from source and installed wxPython with the following
command:
pip install wxPython --log ~/Downloads/wxPython_install.log -v
I was able to download and run wxPython demos.
I started kicad with the command below:
export KICAD_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIR=1
kicad/kicad &
After starting eeschema, it shows an error:
This error comes
from
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/blob/master/scripting/python_scripting.cpp?ref_type=heads#L121.
However, when manually running the Python script test_wxPython.py the
output is:
ubuntuuser@ubuntuuservm:~/Documents/kicad$ python3 test_wxPython.py
4.2.1 gtk3 (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.2.2.1
It seems that the string 'version' is empty in line 115
(https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/blob/master/scripting/python_scripting.cpp?ref_type=heads#L115).
It seems that Python instance within KiCad is not able to figure out
wxPython's installation.
May I get help to resolve this issue? Is there another way to install
wxPython which works with a local compilation of KiCad?
Thanks,
Tallis
