I used Phoenix wxPython which I downloaded wxPython-4.2.1.tar.gz asset from github.
The commands I used to build wxPython are below:
cd wxPython-4.2.1
pip install -r requirements.txt
python build.py build_py
python build.py install_py
The commands I used to build wxWidgets built in Phoenix wxPython are below:
cd wxPython-4.2.1/ext/wxWidgets
mkdir buildX
cd buildX
cmake …/
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
The commands I used to build kicad are below:
cd kicad
mkdir build
cd build
Environment Variable I set before install kicad
export WX_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/wx-config
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=/home/account/miniconda3/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
(py38 is my conda environment, use python 3.8)
After using the above command, I still receive the following error message:
Could not determine wxPython version. Python plugin will not be available.
By the way, I didn’t use pip install wxPython.
How can I resolve it?
I followed the tutorial from the link and succeeded. However, the -DKICAD_USE_EGL option must be set to 0; otherwise, errors occur. make[2]: *** [common/gal/CMakeFiles/gal.dir/build.make:380: common/gal/CMakeFiles/gal.dir/opengl/opengl_gal.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:3238: common/gal/CMakeFiles/gal.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:146: all] Error 2
Will setting -DKICAD_USE_EGL to 0 or 1 have a significant impact on KiCad’s functionality?
Hi,
I have a same issue - “Kicad could not determine wxpython version” - can’t use any plugins because of that.
My configuration is (btw I tried with the stable version too - same thing):
I was trying to uninstall/reinstall wxwidgets/Kicad - still same message.
I thought that reinstalling Kicad will fix it but unfortunately some configs still stay (?).
Thanks!
