Re: [Kicad-developers] running gerbview from local build on macOS
I won't speak for Jonatan, but installing after a full build on MacOS takes significant time. In fact, if I'm changing a single file and recompiling, doing the install probably takes ~10x longer than the compile. So, for iterating quickly, it's not great.

Re: [Kicad-developers] running gerbview from local build on macOS
I see! But isn't gerbview always run standalone? Running pcbnew and eeschema from the main kicad project manager works fine from the build directory, as long as you don't open a pcb or schematic which are not named the same as the project - then it will launch a standalone instance.

Re: [Kicad-developers] running gerbview from local build on macOS
My solution was not to use anything other than the main kicad launcher ;). So I never used standalone pcbnew/eeschema/gerbview/... on OSX. I did figure out what it would take to fix the kiface detection issue, and started https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/82 to try to make it so everything will work from the build directory, but I haven't gotten around to figuring out the Python pathing yet (that is the one that is most troublesome for me now that I switched back to a Linux daily driver machine - the kifaces just work for me now :) ). -Ian On Wed, Aug 19, 2020 at 10:39 AM Jeff Young wrote: > It’s a “thing” on OSX.

[Kicad-developers] running gerbview from local build on macOS
Hi! I'm having difficulties launching gerbview from my local build. I'm opening kicad.app like this, while standing in the build directory (/Users/lijon/Coding/kicad/build/master) open kicad/kicad.app ...which works fine. However, clicking the gerbview button in the project manager launches an old gerbview installed in systemwide /Applications/KiCad/ Trying to open it manually by open gerbview/gerbview.app fails with "Failed to load kiface library “/Users/lijon/Coding/kicad/build/Contents/PlugIns/_gerbview.kiface” and then crashes. Same with: ./gerbview/gerbview.app/Contents/MacOS/gerbview except now it tries to look in /Users/lijon/Coding/kicad/build/master/Contents/PlugIns/ I've also tried to stand in the kicad.app directory and open it from there, but with similar results.
