Hi folks, When I run the kicad process in the background via: eeschema rectifier.sch & then when I run the SPICE simulator I get the message: [1]+ Stopped kicad rectifier.pro If I put the process into the foreground everything runs fine. Is there any particular reason why the

Re: [Kicad-developers] msys2 ngspice-git package.

2016-09-19 Thread Wayne Stambaugh
The msys2 project rejected my ngspice-git package build pull request [1]. Apparently they don't want another git flavor of an existing package and would prefer that the existing ngspice package be patched. I honestly don't blame them. Since I'm not sure which patch fixes ngspice and I've spent wa

As was bought up in irc today coroutine/context is causing issue(s) on osx relating to the add text to pcb as seen in https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1547282 After spending way too long over the weekend debugging this issue it seems that JSC which is apparently related to webkit is trying to

Typically the English would be "Set units to inches". Other than that, I don't have any issues with this patch. It would be nice if you could use git format-patch to create a new patch since we are now using git. On 9/19/2016 4:22 AM, Fabrizio Tappero wrote: > Hello guys, > would in be possible

Ok, I see. I have just removed the wxPaintDC object for all platforms, as anyway GAL worked fine without it. If there are any drawing related problems, let me know and we will look for another solution. Regards, Orson On 09/19/2016 02:25 PM, Simon Wells wrote: > Hi Orson, > > i get one of the at

Hi Simon, Can you give more details about the assert? Perhaps it is a different problem and should be solved in another way. wxWidgets documentation[1] says it is necessary to create a wxPaintDC object, even if it is not used. IIRC GAL worked on every platform even when it has not created wxPaint

The kicad-step feature branch now implements a STEP Export. The menu item may need a new icon (I lazily reused the IDF icon). Any testing and comments would be appreciated. The kicad2step utility which performs the conversion is of course dependent on OCE and is only built when KICAD_USE_OCE is def
