Trying a master compile

Software
41

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:

cd debug
jv@Artemis:~/kicad/build/debug$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../
-- KiCad install dir: </usr/local>
-- Check for installed GLEW -- found
-- Boost version: 1.65.1

*** OpenCascade header files missing ***
Verify your OpenCascade installation or pass CMake
  the header directory as '-DOCC_INCLUDE_DIR=<path>'

CMake Error at CMakeModules/FindOpenCASCADE.cmake:158 (message):
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:678 (find_package)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/jv/kicad/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also "/home/jv/kicad/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
jv@Artemis:~/kicad/build/debug$

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.

  • set the compile flags as suggested by eelik.
  • delete CMakeCache.txt (gets always in the way) in your build directory
  • make clean
  • cmake
  • make
  • coffee
