Re: [Kicad-developers] PATCH: fix kicad2step non-ASCII filename problem in MinGW

Further to my previous post, I found I can build a working kicad2step using the wxIMPLEMENT_APP_CONSOLE macro after (a) applying the attached patch to the wxWidgets includes (b) Adding the following line to (kicad) utils/kicad2step/CMakeLists.txt: set_target_properties( kicad2step PROPERTIES

Re: [Kicad-developers] Stable release status update.

Yeah, that is fine. I just wanted to make sure since it was not created. Ideally it should be created when the tag is made. I will add that to my release checklist. 2017-03-07 0:50 GMT+01:00 Wayne Stambaugh : > Maybe I better create a source tarball. Launchpad claims there

Re: [Kicad-developers] PATCH: fix kicad2step non-ASCII filename problem in MinGW

The attached patch is the latest version and fixes the non-ASCII filename chars issue in kicad2step. If OCE is built in MinGW with the hack I provided then everything works as expected under Windows+MinGW. The sole difference with the previous patch is that kicad2step.cpp was modified to replace:

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL: Ready for alpha testing; need more sample Gerber files

Hi JP, Thanks for the tip, I hadn't noticed the test files. I now get all tests passing except for the ones related to negative images and objects... there are still problems there to solve (working on it). In fact, it looks to me like we now can draw a few things properly that were not drawn

Re: [Kicad-developers] Stable release status update.

Maybe I better create a source tarball. Launchpad claims there was 2081 downloads of the 2.0.5 source tarball. That's a pretty good number for a fairly short period of time. On 3/6/2017 6:46 PM, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > Nick, > > I thought source tarballs were still used by some packagers but

Re: [Kicad-developers] Stable release status update.

Nick, I thought source tarballs were still used by some packagers but if not I'm fine with not creating one. It's a manual operation to clone the stable branch, create the tarball, sign it, and upload it to launchpad. Do want me to remove the draft tag from the blog post? Thanks, Wayne On

Re: [Kicad-developers] Update on component chooser

I wonder whether it is worth making this a policy that no new components can use wxTreeListCtrl as the performance on OSX is abysmal and there are alternatives, granted they are slightly more complicated but a much better long term solution (not only in osx performance) but in code structure as

Re: [Kicad-developers] Stable release status update.

Hi Wayne, Are we still going to provide a source tarball at https://launchpad.net/kicad/+download? I personally don't think it is needed, it is a manual step to perform as far as I can see, and I think we should avoid that. I will push the announcement when Adam's builds are done. Nick

Re: [Kicad-developers] Somes download stats on daily build for PPA

I'd just like to point out that I use the PPAs for continuous integration testing [1] [2] which installs a fresh copy every time I trigger a build. Looking at the numbers on my builds that could make up around 200 downloads (it's a bit hard to estimate as not all builds are counted). I suspect

[Kicad-developers] MinGW UTF8 hell

Hi folks, I spent a few hours looking into the (final?) MinGW/UTF8 filename issue within KiCad and here is what I found: Issue: arguments to external tools which contain non-ASCII characters are not handled correctly. What had been done: + on STEP export, within kicad, print the command line
