Re: [Kicad-developers] Build Server for MacOS
> nickoe has something on azure running, but the MacOS build is currently failing there: Yea because its been low priority to get it working for either of us I would suggest Azure Pipelines over semaphoreCI only because It includes all platforms including Windows (which semaphore does not) and having CI split across multiple services is rather a PITA.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Build Server for MacOS
Sry. now again in non html format ;-) Hi Adam I now tested semaphoreci.com they provide free MacOS build for opensource projects on a buildserver macOS-4 4 vCPU 8GB RAM. This took about 1 hour, including packaging. ( ./build.py --target package-kicad-nightly ) I used the setup from nickoe: https://github.com/nickoe/kicad-azure-test I added a build script for semaphoreci in my fork: https://github.com/nopeppermint/kicad-azure-test/tree/set-up-semaphore there is also a build badge on the readme (currently on cancel as I canceld the last build). You can find the last succesful build under: https://nopeppermint.semaphoreci.com/workflows/678f370a-a7b1-4936-972f-757ee838db66 there is even a dmg artifact from the build, but somehow it's not accesible without login at the moment.. https://nopeppermint.semaphoreci.com/artifacts/jobs/8bd9a827-dfe2-470d-839d-3ad3410269f5/kicad-nightly-20200519-042032-c57eadd1d.dmg but I uploded it on sendspace: https://www.sendspace.com/file/gxt23p @Nick > Do you have a macos yourself? no, but a free of charge building MacOS CI ;-) @Mark >An alternative, there's also the Azure Pipelines KiCad account nickoe has something on azure running, but the MacOS build is currently failing there: https://github.com/nickoe/kicad-azure-test/runs/603552073 so maybe someone WITH a mac could test this dmg from the build server. Semaphoreci offers "unlimited CI/CD minutes" for building public repositories: https://semaphoreci.com/blog/free-open-source-cicd That might be an alternative/addition for the local server from Adam Wolf? I am not sure it's possible to trigger the semaphoreci build directly from gitlab, but it's possible from github. And since kicad still has his github mirror we might trigger the build from there.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Build Server for MacOS
90% chance AppVeyor won't work because its build time restricted to 60 minutes. And KiCad builds quite slowly on the free services taht only provide 1 or 2 cores. An alternative, there's also the Azure Pipelines KiCad account where I run Coverity. It has unlimited minutes for open source project and provides macOS/Linux/Windows VMs with up to 10 parallel jobs at a time.

Hi Stefan Do you have a macos yourself?
