Hi guys, Thanks very much for adding this feature for a start, definitely something I've been wishing for.
Run into an issue off the bat; Used the script to download/compile the shared lib, and compiled eeschema with -DKICAD_SPICE=ON, all good. Loaded up eeschema and opened up sallen_key.sch, opened the simulation window and set setting to transient with 1n step and 1s finish time, clicked OK and pressed Run/Stop Simulation, it said no circuits loaded, I stopped and restart the simulation and the program segfaulted, with this error in GDB. (I'm running LMDE 64 bit, kernel 3.16.0-4-amd64) 14:26:35: Debug: LoadAllLibraries SEARCH_STACK: 14:26:35: Debug: [ 0]:/home/tom/kicad-dev/demos/simulation/sallen_key 14:26:35: Debug: [ 1]:/home/tom/kicad-dev/build/debug/template 14:26:35: Debug: [ 2]:/usr/local/share OpenProjectFiles: loading schematic /home/tom/kicad-dev/demos/simulation/sallen_key/sallen_key.sch CheckComponentsToPartsLinks: resync-ing /home/tom/kicad-dev/demos/simulation/sallen_key/sallen_key.sch Player 4 Create class 4 Player 0 stat 1 immed 0 quit 0 [New Thread 0x7fffdeffd700 (LWP 3558)] [Thread 0x7fffdeffd700 (LWP 3558) exited] /usr/local/lib/ngspice/spice2poly.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/spice2poly.cm couldn't be loaded! /usr/local/lib/ngspice/analog.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/analog.cm couldn't be loaded! /usr/local/lib/ngspice/digital.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/digital.cm couldn't be loaded! /usr/local/lib/ngspice/xtradev.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/xtradev.cm couldn't be loaded! /usr/local/lib/ngspice/xtraevt.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/xtraevt.cm couldn't be loaded! ****** ** ngspice-26 shared library ** Creation Date: Fri Jul 22 12:00:06 BST 2016 ****** Error: .include filename missing Error: ngspice.dll cannot recover and awaits to be detached Error: there aren't any circuits loaded. stat 1 immed 0 quit 0 [New Thread 0x7fffdeffd700 (LWP 3559)] [Thread 0x7fffdeffd700 (LWP 3559) exited] /usr/local/lib/ngspice/spice2poly.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/spice2poly.cm couldn't be loaded! /usr/local/lib/ngspice/analog.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/analog.cm couldn't be loaded! /usr/local/lib/ngspice/digital.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/digital.cm couldn't be loaded! /usr/local/lib/ngspice/xtradev.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/xtradev.cm couldn't be loaded! /usr/local/lib/ngspice/xtraevt.cm: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: Library /usr/local/lib/ngspice/xtraevt.cm couldn't be loaded! ****** ** ngspice-26 shared library ** Creation Date: Fri Jul 22 12:00:06 BST 2016 ****** Error: .include filename missing Error: ngspice.dll cannot recover and awaits to be detached Background thread stopped with timeout = 0 Error: there aren't any circuits loaded.
