Pcbnew stuck on loading ANY file

Software

Regardless if invoked standalone or from within the Kicad main menu. pcbnew does not load any file. Progress dialog stuck at 0. No action whatsoever.

It was ok with yesterday’s pull off of master :sunglasses:

Why that version? The latest master is 6.99, not 5.99.

6.00 is now a stable version and 6.99 is a nightly for the adventurous. It seems strange that you got 5.99 if you downloaded in the last few days. (Actually you downloaded tomorrow. :laughing:)
Maybe you are trying to go backwards in version somehow…you are not actually running a recent (1-2 weeks) version.

4

Been expecting exatly that questuion :rofl:
The version string in the repository still reads 5.99.
Needs to be updated.

5

I am not so knowledgeable about Linux but can you try installing & running the stable version? I think that should give you 6.0.

regardless of changes in master the local …/build/kicad_build_version.h
since the verison number change assembles as below

/* Do not modify this file, it was automatically generated by CMake. */

/*

Thanks Jeff :sunglasses:, or was it Seth :rofl:

Not sure what you are talking about. Version string was updated a month ago.
You didn’t pull the changes correctly if you still had 5.99.

9

What’s more interesting is wxWidgets 3.1.6…which isn’t released nor complete

10

Simply pull master and you’ll get 3.1.6
Appears to work fine as far as Kicad is concerned.
