Hi all,
May be this should be into bug reports, but since I've seen some mail
about this argument directly here, I just answer to those. If I have to
file a bug report (if it really is a bug and I did not just miss some
environment variable to be set) please let me know.
Compiling and installing in a "non canonical directory" as a normal
user, the file is created and put in the correct place, in my case in
~/SANDBOXKICAD5/usr/share/kicad/resources
but the file is not opened at startup, with the error message:
can't open file 'share/kicad/resources/images.tar.gz' (error 2: No such
file or directory)
It seems it is missing the first part of the path, just like if the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not prepended to the file path that kicad uses
when executed.
Launching kicad from terminal after going into the ~/SANDBOXKICAD5/usr
directory makes the program start correctly with all icons and no error
message.
I tried deleting the ~/.config/kicad, to simulate a fresh-new start, but
Deleting that makes kicad not to start with a segmentation fault (may
be this is a real bug).
Some other details:
The configuration has been re-generated before building with cmake-gui ../
then
make clean
make
make install
Cheers,
Dino.
P.S.: I'm Using debian Linux 10, installing as a user without root
privileges, under my home directory.
