Cant build kicad from source

I can’t seem to get kicad 4.0.7 to build on Mint 18.3 ?

Can you build master from source? (i.e. what will shortly become 5.0rc1)
I’m not sure exactly what is going on in your case, but it looks like it is complaining about lack of c++11 support, which is required for KiCad.

jonshouse · February 23, 2018, 10:15pm

Not sure I want to try and build the latest and greatest version as I have a couple of projects I am working on at the moment that have been created with 4.0.7. I am trying to migrate to a new machine.

I am trying to follow this guide:
http://docs.kicad.org/doxygen/md_Documentation_development_compiling.html

I’ve installed wxWidgets-3.0.3 from source, all went ok.

I’ve tried lots of variations on this theme. What I am I doing wrong ? Nothing clever here:

jon-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-SFF build # gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609

jon-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-SFF build # g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609

jon-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-SFF root # cd kicad-4.0.7/
jon-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-SFF kicad-4.0.7 # mkdir build
jon-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-SFF kicad-4.0.7 # cd build/
jon-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-SFF build # cmake …/
jon-HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-SFF build # make

Is this correct ?

Then it craps out, as is traditional with c++ I have no f***** idea what it is telling me or why, guess that is why I still write plain C.

Anyone ?

Maybe I’m too simple or something, but I don’t know why you have to build it yourself while it’s available as a package: https://kicad.org/download/linux-mint/

jonshouse · February 23, 2018, 10:27pm

I dont add unknown repos as policy, sorry.
I built it from source on Mint17 so I just pulled the same tar file from my server and assumed it would build on the next version.

As 4.0.7 has been around for some time why is that not available in the distro itself ?

Do you need to build Boost from source? If so, is it possible to use something newer than 1.54? (but I would expect that boost is available in the mint repos to save you the trouble of building it)

Minimum Boost version for master is 1.56, not sure if that applies to 4.0 or not.

As to why it’s not in Mint’s official repos, well you’d have to ask them I guess

jonshouse · February 23, 2018, 10:54pm

I installed what I though was needed via apt (including boost), but for some reason something in the Makefile has pulled it in as source ?

Try running cmake with -DKICAD_SKIP_BOOST=ON as one of the arguments, that should tell it to use your system Boost instead of downloading it (sorry I wasn’t familiar with this until I started looking through the CMake file; this has apparently changed a lot since 4.0)

apt-get install libboost-all-dev ?

jonshouse · February 23, 2018, 11:33pm

That pulled in a chunky set of packages !

Looks promising, build is at 51%, this will take a while.

Did I miss a package or has something changed in the Debian/Ubuntu/Mint packages? I did what I did for the previous Mint version, using the same tar file, but the magic did not happen this time round.

Thanks for the help

craftyjon · February 23, 2018, 11:38pm

No problem! I don’t know what the deal is with Mint 17 vs 18, but I’m guessing that something changed in Mint 18 that makes Boost 1.54 no longer build (it looks like in KiCad 4.0.7, by default the CMake script will build 1.54). The Boost 1.58 packages you had installed already weren’t the full Boost library set, and so it was missing some things KiCad needs. libbboost-all-dev is just a shortcut around installing the individual Boost libraries that CMake was complaining about.

jonshouse · February 23, 2018, 11:48pm

Might be worth updating the build document.

Maybe just stick “apt-get install libboost-all-dev” as a suggestion for Mint 18 in the “Known Issues” section.

http://docs.kicad.org/doxygen/md_Documentation_development_compiling.html

Build is at 82% now, fingers crossed.
