I had been running KiCad nightlies in a VMWare Windows 7 Guest on top of OS
X about a year ago. It worked pretty well, no major issues. I blamed the
occasional slowness to VM wonkiness and didn't let it bother me too much.
I eventually switched to OS X native KiCad after I was able to get it to

OS X has a builtin Python (on 10.10 it's Python 2.7.10, located at
/usr/bin/python). Can't you just use that, as it's provided by the system
already and (almost) guaranteed to be there? Particularly on 10.11 since
SIP would prevent it from being touched...

Awesome!
I'm working on putting together an ebuild for Gentoo/Funtoo Linux. I think
I've got the binaries working, but when I try to start a new project there
are no component libraries when I open Eeschema. I had thought the
Eeschema components were included, and Pcbnew footprints were separate
Would be possible to also use tags in the GitHub mirror? GitHub allows you
to do something like this to get a tarball:
https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror/tarball/4.0-rc1
Could potentially save some time/effort in manually maintaining tarballs?
I'm not sure if Launchpad has a similar fu
so it happens periodically.

I think that there should be an easy to grab DMG that can be installed, but
it appears to be trivial to use homebrew casks to "automate" the process.
Keep in mind, casks are *not* compiling anything, they're just grabbing
pre-existing binaries because it makes it "easier" (for CLI folk) to
install
that make them!

User here. I'd be happy to try and release a Gentoo ebuild in an overlay,
but I'd want an RC first, versus live ebuilds, which kind of suck, since I
believe they force a fresh build for every source update. I'd also be
somewhat curious about trying to do a homebrew package for OS X, but from

Hi folks,
I had a question regarding a "sort-of-but-not-really" bug that's bitten me
a couple of times now. Most of my boards now are 4 layers, with the two
inner layers being Power/Ground zones. This generally works really well,
but on at least two fairly complex boards, I've had the misfortune

But you can cmd+` and it works. I'm not sure that's actually better or not,
but it works.

I am able to reproduce this bug, using 5173. If I open PCBNew before
Eeschema then I just get a big red blob in the Eeschema window. If I open
Eeschema first it's fine. While somewhat annoying, it seems to resolve
itself by closing and re-opening the KiCad Project Manager, so it's a
pretty quick

This might be unrelated, but on most recent Macbook Pros there are two
video cards, the Intel integrated GPU and a discrete, more powerful but
more power hungry GPU. Usually you'll run on the lower power Intel GPU,
unless an application (or external monitor) requires the discrete GPU to
turn on.
