Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad Windows builder
I also am afraid the use of dynamic libraries add more time to launch Kicad. It fixes only the size of binaries, that is now a very minor problem. The OS must load all dependent DLLs needed by the eeschema process. There can be code in the DLLs that is not needed by the process, since everything has to be in there, the entire library. Whereas with static linking, only those portions of the library which are actually needed are linked to the process image file, eescheme.exe. You also remove some time to do the dynamic linking (finding of pointers) from the process image down into the DLL. My guess is that a statically linked binary will normally be faster to load, but perhaps in-perceptibly so. On linux, (which we are not talking about), the share object file may already be loaded into RAM because of use by another processes, and this changes the dynamics of the comparison. Windows may also have a similar ability (but I no longer know what Windows is). This means that a second process which uses a *shared* shared dynamic library may load faster that the first one already in RAM.

Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad Windows builder
I am afraid this issue could be due to the fact wxWidgets has no more a debug and a release version, but only an unique version. Could anyone be inspired to prepare a CMake build script for that project, either by volunteering to do it, or volunteering to nag for it to be done? ___ 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

[Kicad-developers] New utility: PcbCalculator
I added a new utility in Kicad: PcbCalculator It can be used to calculate transmission lines impedances, or resistors to set the value of the output of a regulator. Please, feel free to add features to this utility (It is not a finished work, but is it very usable). This is easy because the code do not use the existing Kicad code, so no need to know the internal Kicad code. And I need your opinion about the interest of this kind of tool. -- 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

Maybe you should have a look at http://mcalc.sourceforge.net and http://wcalc.sourceforge.net also.
