CLion & MSYS2 - missing wxWidgets_LIBRARIES

afkiwers · March 31, 2021, 5:01am

Hi There,

I have been successfully building KiCad from source under Linux and wanted to now build KiCad under windows using MSYS2 & CLion. I followed this guide here: https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/build/windows-msys2/

When compiling using the MSYS2 console everything compiles just fine. However, as soon as I try to use CLion, CMAKE throws errors. I attached the console output.

Add following defines on command line
-DMSYS=TRUE -DMINGW=TRUE -DCYGWIN=TRUE

afkiwers · March 31, 2021, 5:37am

I added those to my CMake options but still the same problem.

Did you clear cmake cache?

afkiwers · March 31, 2021, 5:40am

Yes, I did that. I am not too sure why CLion causes so much trouble.

qu1ck · March 31, 2021, 5:43am

Issue is not CLion, it’s that msys shell is different environment.

I noticed you have paths like /mingw64 which are not understood by clion or any shell outside of msys, that may be the problem

Here is my vscode settings for when I used msys build. I had msys installed in d:/devtools so change accordingly

    "cmake.configureSettings": {
        "MSYS": "TRUE",
        "MINGW": "TRUE",
        "CYGWIN": "TRUE",
        "Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE": "ON",
    },
    "cmake.configureEnvironment": {
        "PATH": "D:/devtools/msys64/usr/bin;D:/devtools/msys64/mingw64/bin;D:/devtools/msys64/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin;%PATH%",
    },
    "cmake.buildEnvironment": {
        "PATH": "C:/Windows/system32;D:/devtools/msys64/usr/bin;D:/devtools/msys64/mingw64/bin;D:/devtools/msys64/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin;%PATH%",
    },
    "cmake.configureArgs": [
        "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=D:/devtools/msys64/mingw64/;D:/devtools/msys64/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/",
        "-GNinja"
    ],
    "cmake.generator": "Ninja",

Thanks for that, I’ll give it a go and see how I go.

afkiwers · March 31, 2021, 5:54am

That’s solved it for me! Thanks mate!

eelik · March 31, 2021, 9:16am

BTW, the msvc build will be the official build for 6.0. You may want to try that instead of msys.

afkiwers · March 31, 2021, 9:41am

That’s alright. At the moment I just wanted to test a warehouse plugin I am currently building to assign parameters to a part or multiple parts from an external source.

FYI here’s what worked for me

gitlab.com

fxtentacle/kicad-dev-docs/-/blob/d891eb07fe40256204daf08f5bba9ce9faac7fd1/content/build/windows-msys2/_index.en.adoc#user-content-project-setup

I had to extend CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and add more MinGW folders to the environment PATH.
