How to build kicad:
kicad do not use configure (not yet...)
it is compiled with make.
kicad needs wxWidgets (the multi platform G.U.I.)
unzip sources in a working directory.
This will create the directory "kicad-dev".
First you must install wxWidgets (see www.wxWidgets.org)
See below for suggested configure command.
2007-05-06 16:03:28 +00:00
Linux compilation:
You must have:
wxWidgets ( I suggest you install wxWidgets in /usr/local).
(see below for suggested configure command, then make and make install)
2007-05-06 16:03:28 +00:00
Mesa: pcbnew and cvpcv need openGL or mesa.
(you must install mesa devel if libGL et libGLU are not found).
GTK 2 (install development libraries).
Because old version of Mesa has problem under a recent linux distrib (mandarke 10.1),
I am using Mesa version 6.2.1, statically compiled, installed in /usr/local
Mesa installation:
Get MesaLib-6.2.1.tar.gz from http://www.mesa3d.org/
in /usr/local : tar zxvf MesaLib-6.2.1.tar.gz
in /usr/local/Mesa-6.2.1 :
make linux-x86-static
make install ( libGL.a et libGLU.a are copied in /usr/local/lib, and header in /usr/local/include)
kicad compilation:
in kicad-dev:
Have a look to libs.linux (you can edit this file if you have problems)
Currently libs.linux uses wxWidgets 2.7.1 build (see below for suggested configure command)
2007-05-06 16:03:28 +00:00
run make -f makefile.gtk
Windows compilation:
kicad is build with mingw and msys.
Currently libs.linux uses wxWidgets 2.8.1 (see below for suggested configure command)
2007-05-06 16:03:28 +00:00
install mingw and msys ( see mingw.org )
(opengl libs are included in mingw or windows)
Under msys:
(Warning: make.exe utility is sometime renamed mingw32-make.exe in install process
of msys.)
Build wxWidgets (currently version 2.8.1)
See below for suggested configure command, then make
2007-05-06 16:03:28 +00:00
In include/wx/msw/setup.h, check (and edit if needed) the defines :
#define wxUSE_GLCANVAS 1
#define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 0
#define wxUSE_MOUSEWHEEL 1 // Include mouse wheel support
#define wxUSE_HOTKEY 0 // Hotkey support (currently Windows only)
Exit msys.
Set environment variable WXWIN ( something as wxwin=/d/wxWidgets-2.8.1
for a wxWidget installed in d:\wxWidgets-2.8.1)
Have a look to libs.win (Currently this file handle wxWidgets 2.8.1)
Under msys:
in kicad-dev:
run make -f makefile.g95
