Hello all
and sorry for pushing this to the dev mailing list, but I hope to get an
authoritative answer from you:
I am preparing the update from KiCad 4.0.4 to 4.0.6 on the approximately
70 PCs used in our classroom installations (all Windows 7 64 Bit).
We are using a centrally managed library for schematic symbols and pcb
footprints which is stored on a network share.
To make that work, the paths in the 'kicad.pro' template file and the
environment variables KICAD_PTEMPLATES KISYSMOD and KISYS3DMOD are
modified to point to the correct network share folders.
My test install shows that for schematic symbols a new file
'sym_lib_table' has been introduced, analog to 'fp_lib_table' for
footprints. In that file a variable 'KICAD_SYS_SYMBOL_DIR' is used for
path declaration, but the corresponding environment variable is not set
during the installation process.
Is there any value in setting the environment variable
'KICAD_SYS_SYMBOL_DIR' (like Kicad using it if it is set, otherwise it
uses the legacy kicad.pro definitions) or should I even expect
interferences with the path declaration from the 'kicad.pro' template
when 'KICAD_SYS_SYMBOL_DIR' is set?
Regards,
Ingo
