kicad-nightly is correct now but from where to get libglm-kicad-dev ?
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
builddeps:kicad : Depends: libglm-dev (< 0.9.9.3) but it is not going to be installed or
libglm-kicad-dev but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
What happens when you apt-get install libglm-dev?
This unpacks and installs libglm-dev version 0.9.9.3-2 what is not <0.9.9.3 why the error message about libglm-dev stays on. Probably needs a downgrade (already included in my 18.04LTS) for that version how and from where ? Libglm-kicad-dev seems alternate solution but apt is unable to locate this.
Can KiCad build anyway with glm 0.9.9.3-2? I don’t know why that restriction is in place in the PPA.
At least, there is no installation of the depencies possible and we have to go back to the missing OpenGL library and possibly much more depencies. Cmake stop without generating any makefile
After downgrade to 18.04LTS there is again no luck with the depencies.

Running ./get_libngspice_so.sh compiled and installed fine but does not help with above problem. Have no idea what the diffrence to my desktop is.
What does CMake say is missing? For some reason you might not be able to get the dependencies requested by the ppa deb-src line, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the dependencies needed to build KiCad. I have not worked with that ppa so I don’t know the particulars of why it is failing, but I do know that it is entirely possible to build KiCad fully on Ubuntu 18.04. If you give CMake error output (not apt-get errors) I might be able to help there.
I have it built on Debian Stable. I think the next to last time I built it I needed to use ‘clang’? I’m pretty sure this last build I had switched back to the ‘normal’ dev packages. I’ve got years of tracking down dependencies though. They get added and I have no idea what remains after multiple upgrades. At one point I had a problem because my home directory had been cloned so many times it was in some obsolete format. 
EDIT: For the most part I just follow the directions with the source code.

If you are using Ubuntu 18.04, then the package names for all the dependencies are given in this script: https://gitlab.com/kicad/kicad-ci/source_containers/blob/master/scripts/install-dependencies.sh#L256. Note that you do have to jump through some hoops to get the ngspice integration to work in 18.04 (same with if you want to use OCC instead of OCE, but you can use OCE just fine since it is easiest). I know that KiCad can successfully configure and build using this set of packages.
If you use the ngspice provided with the PPA on 18.04, then you should just need to add the flag -DNGSPICE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/share/ngspice-kicad/ngspice/include/ to your CMake configuration when building KiCad.
18.04.3
Never mind that deb packages stuff. It’s usefull for ready compiled things.
For KiCad I found it most straight forward to compile directly

Behaviour of cmake is completely diffrent from my desktop. The …/…/ parameter is not accepted and without no compiler is found (while gcc path works fine). Possibly becouse of not being able to run the apt-get build-dep

seems install_dependencies.sh prepares OCC while cmake tries OCE. Therefore I tried @imcinerney shell script with --use-oce=1 --use-occ=0. This gives:

found oce is part of the sources in kicad/plugins/3d/oce what contains .cpp without .h
To use OCC on 18.04, add these additional CMake flags: -DOCC_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/occt -DKICAD_USE_OCE=OFF -DKICAD_USE_OCC=ON
OCC path is fine and cmake is missing wxPhyton/Phoenix next.
Therefore I set the scripting switches OFF. At least make starts the compile now…
One hour and 10 minutes later there is a new Kicad on my laptop with OCC and spice (!) and no scripting. The baffeld way did not allow to document what I did therefore and for unknown reason it was diffrent from my desktop. Eatur quo deorum ostenta et inimicorum iniquitas vocat. Alea iacta est.
hi,
I don’t know if it is place to ask.
I’m trying to compile master from gitlab.
I’m blocked in following error:
-- Check for installed Python Interpreter -- found
-- Python module install path: lib/python2.7/dist-packages
-- Found PythonLibs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so (found suitable version "2.7.17", minimum required is "2.6")
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:791 (message):
Unable to find wxPython Classic, instead found wxPython Phoenix 4.0.7.post2
Somehow success to install all packages up to that point
to compile are using the following command:
$cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../../ -DKICAD_SPICE=False
Thanks
You have to install some packages on you Linux system or change compile flags. I you don’t specifically want old python (python2 should be put out of its misery as soon as possible), I recommed choosing python3 and combination of other libraries which work with it.
