Re: [kicad] How to config ccache for kicad under windows

2024-05-07 Thread Mark Roszko
I fixed up the kicad cmakelist to be correct. The ccache and distcc logic was pretty old and dated. You just need to have ccache on your PATH and you should not need any of your custom changes in theory now besides setting USE_CCACHE. On Tue, May 7, 2024 at 3:30 AM Liang Jia wrote: > Hi All, >

GitLab, like any other platform, has been suffering from cryptocurrency abuse which has been resulting in more and more lock down of signups. There's a new bull wave in crypto so of course the abuse has ramped up. However, I just confirmed that the phone number verification is risk assessment

Changes need to be tested on Windows arm64 too btw :P (We have arm64 windows nightlies and 8.0 will see stable arm64 windows builds) Libcontext was an awkward hack to get around the disaster of boost::context making major API changes that didn't match between every distro/platform for years

2023-05-20 Thread Mark Roszko
We are moving towards some unit tests to validate the plot output. Such a test already exists for schematic plot output as a kicad-cli test and will be expanded to PCB eventually. But, even the recent changes such as d5bd1f5aea042a238345171b99a195da9e0eab9e were entirely intentional and not an

Christoph, Can you alter the build to use the clang linker flag "-flat_namespace" and see if it works? Regards, Mark On Tue, May 16, 2023, 2:57 PM Christoph Moench-Tegeder wrote: > ## Jon Evans (j...@craftyjon.com): > > > I don't know what you mean by "major problems" so I can't comment on

You just have to email the list along with what language you are interested in translating. The language has to be added manually to weblate by a developer. Also the language will not appear in KiCad until a good portion is translated. On Wed, May 10, 2023 at 10:12 PM La_niko wrote: > > hi I

Re: [kicad] Proposal for adding EDA support to KiCAD.

2023-04-20 Thread Mark Roszko
This is far out of scope for what KiCad is intended for and would quickly be broken many times over as we don't have manpower or interest to maintain it. It's a lot more work than you make it seem to get it correct and there'll be demands to add more and more. Maybe 10 years from now when the

You can in fact replace the icons. We just don't support it in the UI. You just need to replace images.tar.gz, for example on Windows that's located in C:\Program Files\KiCad\\share\kicad\resources On Wednesday, September 14, 2022 at 9:38:00 PM UTC-4 Kevin Cozens wrote: > On 2022-09-14 11:35,
