Kicad needs wxWidgets, the multi platform G.U.I.
|
||
|
|
Known problems:
|
||
|
|
wxMSW:
|
||
|
|
*DO NOT* use wxMSW.2.8.1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wxMSW and wxGTK
|
||
|
|
Use wxWidgets 2.8.10 or later
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Linux and macOSX
|
||
|
|
- Printing problems (all version).
|
||
|
|
Note old versions of wxWidgets give *very ugly results*
|
||
|
|
(poor printing resolution set to 72ppi)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So use a very recent version (>= 2.8.10 (that also solve other bugs)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wxWidgets patch:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*************************************************************************************
|
||
|
|
wxGTK version: All
|
||
|
|
*************************************************************************************
|
||
|
|
Patch for printing wide traces that were shown with missing rounded end caps.
|
||
|
|
Without this patch, printing boards and schematics under Linux, and perhaps OSX
|
||
|
|
gives ugly drawings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wxGTK-2.8.11/src/generic/dcpsg.cpp
|
||
|
|
serach for:
|
||
|
|
line 1636
|
||
|
|
PsPrint( "%%EndProlog\n" );
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add after this line:
|
||
|
|
PsPrint("%%BeginSetup\n");
|
||
|
|
PsPrint( "1 setlinecap\n" );
|
||
|
|
PsPrint("%%EndSetup\n");
