Hi As mentioned by others, MSVC is not _officially_ supported by the KiCad project as a development environment, BUT Simon is maintaining a branch with patches that will enable you to build KiCad with MSVC and it is build tested on http://ci.kicad-pcb.org/job/windows-kicad-msvc-head/, it is not runtime tested. I don't even think it has been runtime tested at all.
But I also hear that the latest VC supposedly is going or is supporting gcc and clang with debugging. I have not looked into that. The branch is lp:~sjr/kicad/msvc and AFIK, you just need to apply this on the latest kicad branch to get the latest. At least on Jenkins it checks out lp:kicad and then bzr merge lp:~sjr/kicad/msvc. And then normal cmake with the MSVC generator and it should build, given you have the depends set up and can be found. 2015-11-06 1:24 GMT+01:00 Stefano Rossi <[email protected]>: > I would like to know how I could contribute to kicad on windows? > > Is http://kicad-pcb.org the to-go page? > > Is it possible to compile using Visual Studio?
