### Building OCE from source
KiCad requires OCE by default, and the version installed by `pacman` can cause build errors in
x86_64 systems as of March 2018. In order to work around this, you can build OCE from source on
these systems. Building OCE on Windows requires that you place the source code in a very short
directory path, otherwise you will run into errors caused by the maximum path length on Windows.
In the example below, the `MINGW-packages` repository is cloned to `/c/mwp`, which is equivalent to
`C:\mwp` in Windows path terminology. You may wish to change the destination of the `git clone`
command if you do not want to place it on the root of your C drive, but if you run in to strange
compilation errors about missing files, it is probably because your path is too long.
git clone https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages /c/mwp
cd /c/mwp/mingw-w64-oce
