KiCad-Nigthly on Linux Mint It hasn't been updated for a week

Software
21

Works for me too now, and the related gitlab/issue/12177 is also closed.

Just updated to Mint 21 “Vanessa” using the update tool. Went smoothly. Then I added the Kicad nightly PPA. That went OK as well. I’m happy.

It seems Ubuntu PPA fails to build again

Agree. :slightly_frowning_face:

I saw those lines(among others) in the buildlog for amd64:


CMake Error at cmake/FindSWIG.cmake:68 (message):
  Command "/usr/bin/swig3.0 -swiglib" failed with output:

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:809 (find_package)


CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:146 (message):
  Could NOT find SWIG (missing: SWIG_DIR) (Required is at least version
  "4.0")
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:393 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  cmake/FindSWIG.cmake:93 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
  CMakeLists.txt:809 (find_package)

Maybe that is the reason.

I personally noticed this on Kubuntu. I had to install swig4 and configure from scratch.

28

We recently switched to requiring swig4.0

All seems well again for Ubuntu PPA downloads.
20220827 & now 20220828 have successfully downloaded and installed :slightly_smiling_face:

30

in Linux Mint 20.3 no swig4 is required but kicad is updated to 28/08.

31

I think this is only needed when building from source. I do not have a complete understanding of how the PPA build system works, but i guess this package was missing in order to allow a successful building process.

Here is the nightly status https://launchpad.net/~kicad/+archive/ubuntu/kicad-dev-nightly/+packages
only armhf failed.
