Hello Jean-Pierre I just tried it on linux.

But I have a hard time figuring out how to add the pretty repos on github with the browser window it opens. Mmm, I then copied a few things. Then closed the window, then I see some links in the path rows. But here the "Remove FP Libraries" do nothing. I guess this is a bug. Also I see that it adds them with small lettres, where the fp-lib-tables on github uses the exact name of the pretty repo, that is with big beginning letter. > The wizard is not fully finished and the "Add Environment Variable" > button can be used, but the newly created variable is not (yet) stored. > > I need: > - a feedback about this wizard (usability, bugs ...). > - a test on OSX and Linux (I tested it only on Kubuntu 10.04) to know > issues. > > To build Kicad after patching, the wxWidgets webkit/webview library is > needed. > To know if it is available, try to build the wxWidgets webview sample. > > On windows, I am thinking there is no problem. > On Linux, if the webkit/webview library, you have to install the > libwebkitgtk-dev tool (sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-dev) and > rebuild wxWidgets after running configure --with-opengl. > On OSX I don't know the status, but webkit/webview library is buildable. > > Thanks. > > -- > Jean-Pierre CHARRAS > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
