Re: [Kicad-developers] The developer mailing list did not work in my case
Hi Shane, I'm no expert, but it looks like the linker can't find the wxgtk library. Did you compile it in an odd directory, perchance? -Travis On Sat, May 25, 2013 at 10:00 AM, Shane Volpe shanevo...@gmail.com wrote: I've been trying to get the samples together but I'm struggling with getting KiCAD to compile.

Re: [Kicad-developers] The developer mailing list did not work in my case
All, Thanks for the help. It turns out I have to different versions of wx-config installed 2.8 and 2.9. I had removed 2.8 or so I thought, the wx-config was still installed for it and set as the default wx-config. Once I fixed the symlink for wx-config and pointed it to wx-config-2.9 everything started working!

P.S.: Jean-Pierre, I think you had better openly tell about your / lp:kicad team intentions concerning KICAD_GOST here, on the developer mailing list. Who is silent about intentions, again me?

[Kicad-developers] The developer mailing list did not work in my case
Jean-Pierre and Wayne, you have let me know that the root of the problem is I was silent about my intentions. The short review of what happened: 1) [31 Aug 2008]: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg01689.html ... I think, for users, better to have something than nothing! Is it required to have a different homepage for pcad2kicad? May be better to integrate it directly in to the KiCad? ... Igor Plyatov Would anybody object if PCAD to KiCad converter were integrated to KiCad? Alexander Lunev 2) Dick Hollenbeck wrote: No objection from me. So only Dick responded. It was clear to me that nobody disagreed. Unfortunately the long break took place here. 3) [08 Jun 2012]: I started to rewrite pcad2kicad from Delphi to c++. 4) [10 Jun 2012]: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg08429.html Alexander Lunev wrote: Hi. Would you add me to the team? 5) [11 Jun 2012]: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg08435.html Alexander Lunev wrote: I had been granted a write permission to Kicad SVN repository since 2008. At the same time I was involved to pcad2kicad project and added polygons support. pcad2kicad is mostly written in Delphi. It was agreed to rewrite pcad2kicad in C++ in order to integrate it into Kicad and provide the opportunity for more people to be involved in the developing process. Unfortunately, since that time both the former of pcad2kicad and I had had no spare time to continue the development. But now I have just started to develop a new device and I want to use Kicad for that. So I need to convert some libraries into Kicad and decided to resume my plans with pcad2kicad converter. That is why I created the pcad2kicad branch that you noticed some days ago. P.S. Several weeks ago I tried to find Kicad project in old locations, firstly on the sourceforge.net Wiki. But there are some issues. As I understood, Kicad developing group was removed from Yahoo and I do not know why. I think I missed much. And now I see that Kicad is on Launchpad and Bazaar repo is used where I have not got the write permission. So there are many surprises to me. No reaction except Miguel Angel Ajo Pelayo. 6) [15 Jun 2012]: I completed rewriting pcad2kicad from Delphi to c++ and fixed the main bug concerning the recursion. At this point pcad2kicad was ready to use. I requested merge with lp:kicad. 7) [24 Jun 2012]: I received Wayne's respond: PCAD import support would be a welcome addition to KiCad but I am not thrilled about adding another stand alone executable to KiCad. My preference would be to add a PCAD plug-in to Pcbnew... 8) [25 Jun 2012]: I asked Wayne: What about translating P-Cad libraries? No reaction. 9) [27 Jun 2012]: I decided to agree and started to rewrite pcad2kicad to make it Pcbnew plugin. 10) [07 Jul 2012]: I published eeschema-plugin blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/kicad/+spec/eeschema-plugin and assigned Jean-Pierre as an approver: This Eeschema plug-in is necessary to support new ones such as Eagle, P-Cad and other plug-ins for Eeschema. It is supposed that the Eeschema plug-in mechanism needs to be very similar to the one implemented in Pcbnew. No reaction. 11) I continued trying to agree with Wayne and Jean-Pierre fulfilling their ideas again and again. Every time I tried to believe that all will be OK. 12) 6 months passed and at last Jean-Pierre merged pcad2kicadpcb to lp:kicad! For some unknown to me reason pcad2kicadsch is still not merged into lp:kicad! Today is 15 May, 2013. Moreover, still there is not a write access to lp:kicad! The same ignoring situation is with GOST-doc-gen and the component manager. I have ultimately stopped hoping anything positive from the team.
