Hey guy's, Sorry I've been extremely busy lately. I just noticed a Windows build enquiry on the users list and thought I better email a heads-up here about the state of the cmake script for easily building KiCad on Windows.
It is very nearly complete. Currently you need to have cmake and bazaar installed, everything else is tested for and installed as necessary. The build uses wxWidgets 2.9.1 and can then branch the KiCad bazaar head and compile successfully. My TODO list is: (1) Download and install of bazaar as necessary (2) General tidy up of script, perhaps turn some of the more complex checks into functions (3) Get some people to test it! So it's very close. Installing Bazaar from the script might not be very straight forward as the PATH environment won't update in the current shell with the install of bazaar, so the script will not be able to know where it is. If it appears too troublesome to start with I will just post the script with bazaar being a dependency and we can decide at a later date if it's possible to install bazaar in some other way. If I put the script up as a launchpad project then people will need bazaar installed to get the script anyway, so I'm not sure bazaar as a dependency is too big a deal. Best Regards, Brian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
