I was searching a way to speed up the compilation. Ok, so now, I'm digging into the cMake script to build kicad from local source. I'll find this I think. KiCad-Winbuilder is not a great way to develop code, but if you have it on your computer and you want to investigate the sources, you can at least do that. Once you've compiled once, use the enterenv.bat batch file to enter a console with the KiCad winbuilder environment setup. From here you can move to the build directory and use the command mingw32-make eeschema to build just eeschema, or else mingw32-make by itself to build everything (that requires building). Running make.bat is not going to be good if you're making local changes because you'll likely hit conflicts at some point and everything will become a mess. Just investigate and make changes, then when you want to update to the latest version of KiCad you can enter the kicad source directory and use bzr diff mychanges.diff to keep track of your changes in a diff file, followed by bzr revert to remove your changes from the tree. You can then safely run make.bat again to update and compile everything. As make.bat checks for the latest documentation and KiCad source code it is much quicker to enter the environment and issue the make commands directly. You'll have to run eeschema from the build directory, or else manually copy it across to the kicad\bin folder to use RunKiCad.bat Lastly, if you do want to develop KiCad I would strongly urge moving to Linux for development because it's just s much easier and faster! We always require heavy testing on Windows, but developing on Windows is a real pain. Good Luck anyway!

Re: [Kicad-developers] Build for software rendering only?
This might be unrelated, but on most recent Macbook Pros there are two video cards, the Intel integrated GPU and a discrete, more powerful but more power hungry GPU. Usually you'll run on the lower power Intel GPU, unless an application (or external monitor) requires the discrete GPU to turn on. Currently, OpenGL mode in PCBNew requires the discrete card to turn on, but I'm curious if that's actually necessary. If it works with just the integrated GPU you could still use hardware rendering, assuming it has the required OpenGL extensions (which I think it does?). I'm not certain how this works, but it requires the use of an Info.plist file in the app bundle directory. See: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/qa/qa1734/_index.html I might try to play around with this a little bit myself, but I'm not really sure how to get the Info.plist file to even be recognized, so it might take a while.

Interesting article! (I'm typing this on the last of the 17 MacBook Pros, too, so I am very interested in this.) I believe the Info.plist file is the one in /Applications/kicad/pcbnew/Contents/Info.plist and it's easily modified by hand with a text editor or Xcode. (Right-click on the application icon and choose Show Package Contents so the bundle's contents show up in the Finder. Or do it from the terminal.) I wonder how you can tell if the computer has switched to the discrete GPU. I can guess: it starts heating up and the fan starts spinning fast! -a ___ 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

Hi LordBlick, It is my guess that the issue isn't with the particular build, but instead something you didn't expect in the input file.
