It is already added with MSVC, and must be added with gcc/mingw
However, the cmake option:
add_definitions( -DBOOST_UUID_FORCE_AUTO_LINK )
does not work on msys2 (at least with my cmake version), so another syntax is used.

* Split up the thirdparty code into the thirdparty folder (#3637)
* Create a new kimath static library containing all the math functions
This is part of cleaning the build system for #1906.
CHANGED: Update the Linux appdata file to include new tags
* Include version tags (and others) in the appdata file
* Refactor the version string generation to clean it up
Remove not used files:
- markdown2html is not used (we are using "Sundown" tool)
- newstroke_font_without_CJK.cpp is removed.
Due to code optimization the full font works fine without memory issues
-fix also a few very minor compil warnings
Note that since the markup might exist for other reasons, it has
to be turned on with a preference setting. (It goes through a set
of bitflags so the same architecture can be used for other markup
structures that we might want to support in the future.)
Note also that this is more about engineering nomenclature than
visual formatting. In that respect it's more similar to overbar
than italic or bold.
It allow using the previous font set without CJK.
The new font (with CJK) is very large (10x), and can create (on Opengl) out of memory issues
with some graphic cards.
The help file bridget_tee_formula.md can be displayed in pcb_calculator.
For Help messages, a markdown text (with some basic html tags) is often enough
and is more easy to translate than full html texts.
This changes make_lexer() so that it no longer generates a custom target
but instead attaches the generated files to an existing one (so the first
argument now is the name of an existing library or executable, and it needs
to come after the add_library/add_executable call).
The generated source is no longer listed in the project sources, as it is
added by the function. The files are generated in the build tree rather
than the source tree, and the directory is added to the include path for
the respective project as well as exported to projects linking against it.
Generated files in subdirectories are somewhat supported, but need to be
referenced with the same name as they were generated (i.e. including the
subdirectory name).

DIALOG_EXIT was not being laid out correctly after setting the dialog
message. Rather than fix our custom DIALOG_EXIT, wxMessageDialog and
wxRichMessageDialog were substituted as direct replacements for all
of the variants of DIALOG_EXIT. This make message dialogs appear more
consistent because wxMessageDialog uses the default platform message
dialog and wxRichMessageDialog uses the default platform rich message
dialog on windows.
Remove DIALOG_EXIT_BASE as it is no longer required.

This removes the remaining hard-coded segments counts and replaces them
with the relative error calculation where the segments per arc is
determined by the maximum error we allow (smaller arcs = fewer segments)
Remove the axis numbering code from ARRAY_OPTIONS
and place in a new class, ARRAY_AXIS. This keeps
the logic for the array item numbering separate from
the logic for the array item geometry.
This simplifies the logic in the ARRAY_OPTIONS class, which
no longer has to deal with the numbering of each axis.
Replace INCREMENTAL_TEXT_CTRL with wxSpinCtrlDouble because it looks
and works better.
Remove INCREMENTAL_TEXT_CTRL header and source files because the only
place they were used was in GAL_OPTIONS_PANEL.
Provide a toolkit-agnostic interface for "busy indicators", which
allows the 3D viewer to show a busy cursor, without the canvases
having to to know how a wxCursore works.
The motivation here is to decouple the 3D renderers from the WX
GUI system, as they can then be used when when there is not an
active window (e.g. for offscreen rendering).
Otherwise, attempting to use a wxBusyCursor without a GUI
available is an instant segfault.
Statically constructing wxCursors as used for the probe
and tune cursors crashes the qa_eagle_plugin test
instantly.
Fix this by introducing a new class CURSOR_STORE,
which allows to abstract the platform wierdness of wxCursors
and allow the simulator to laziliy init its own cursors
at runtime.
This code isn't properly tested, as these cursors are never
actually used. However, it does allow the eeschema unit test
to run.

wxPlatformInfo::Get() causes a linker error on Msys2.
Fix this by making common link wx explicitly, rather
than implicity via it's dependencies, which cause
wrong-order linker command lines on windows.
First, add automatic detection of toolkit DPI scaling options. For now, this
is, in order,
* Check the GDK_SCALE option under GTK+ (users can set this to force the scaling)
* Check the value from WX's GetContentScalingFactor(). This will start to work
correctly from WX 3.1 and GTK+ 3.10.
Then, add a user-settable override in the main prefs panel, next to the icon
scaling. This is independent of the icon scaling options.
DPI handling is performed in a standalone class, so they can be shared between
the prefs UI and the OpenGL backend easily. Also means Cairo could use the same
interface in future.
Also adjust the OpenGL grid drawing code to use the computed scale factor,
which avoids over-thick grids in scaled environments (the user can manually
thicken the grid if wanted).

Fixes: lp:1816009
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1816009
Libpolygon can provide its own includes via target_include_dirs PUBLIC.
This means any linking targets do not need to specifiy them manually.
As common requires polygon, the polygon dep is also now no longer
required downstream of libcommon, as it's transisitvely implied
by libcommon's target_link_libraries.
This resolves a circular dependency previously detected and also
simplifies CMakeLists.
The bitmap definitions (BITMAP_DEF and so on) do not
have any dependencies on other libs, including WX. This
means the bitmaps library can be isolated from the other
dependencies.
Common now depends on bitmaps, and libraries that depend
on common can pick it up from the common target_link_libraries,
as it is PUBLIC. This means a lot of targets no longer
need manual bitmap linkage.
This avoids a circular dependency that was previously reported
by static analysis.
Avoiding pulling in WX and other headers into the include
tree of each bitmap .cpp is a huge speed up (around 10x) in
compilation, and the generated static library is also 10x
smaller (20MB vs 200MB)
Add common as a link library to pnsrouter,connectivity.
THese library do still use common code (including bitmaps,
via base_screen.h) and this allows them to pick up the libcommon
includes correctly.
This breaks the following functions out to a general-purposed refdes utils
header:
* MODULE::GetReferencePrefix()
* kicad_string.h RefDesStringCompare()
This acheives:
* Slimming of MODULE interface
* Placement of refdes code in common rather than pcbnew
** Testing of this code in qa_common
* Tighter and smaller includes for code that only needed refdes functions
Note: there are failing tests commited (as expected failures). These
are the cause of lp:1813669 and will be fixed as a follow-up commit.
The CONFIG_SAVE_RESTORE_WINDOW class does not need to be tied
to the array dialog, put it in common/widgets.
Also do a refactor and tidy-up of the the class, use a union for (slightly)
better type-safety and syntax (a variant would be better but that's C++17).
Also enable integral field save/restore from text boxes.
The geometry and numbering logic is separate to the dialog, and
can be separated for clearer logic and better testability.
Moreover, refactor it to avoid any dependency on pcbnew
classes, so it can be move to common for potential re-use in
eeschema and friends in future.
Also convert all wxPoint logic in these classes to VECTOR2I and
fix some function visibilities.
Add some unit tests of the ARRAY_OPTIONS geometry and numbering.
Introduce the concept of a DRC_PROVIDER which allows
to separate the various DRC functions to their own
areas. This allows, amongst other things, a slimmer core
DRC class, and allows DRC functions to be separately testable.
The courtyard DRCs (overlap, missing and malformed)
are the first victims, so instrumentation can be added to this function.
Add some unit tests on this DRC function, as well a few re-usable PCB-based
utility functions in a library (qa_pcbnew_utils) that could be shared between
unit tests and other utilities.
Factor out common dialog code from global symbol library table dialog for
loading initial library table.
Update global symbol library table code to user factored out common dialog
code.
This can be used for "advanced" options which are for developers
to use for feature-flags and other configuration. Run time config
has some advantages over preprocessor defines:
* Can be changed without recompilation
* Sensitive to XDG_CONFIG_DIR, so flipping configs is easy
* Better compiler coverage (less conditionally compiled code means
less chance to break a different configuration). Also better
analysis coverage.
* Type safe config params
* Centralised documentation: it's in doxygen, in one place
No advanced config should be required by a general users. If a general
user does use one of these configs, it's probably because:
* There is a bug and one of these configs is a workaround
* A config in here is generally useful and should be moved into the
relevant application config and given UI.
For now, the config is read-only, and is read from the
"kicad_advanced" config file in the normal config dir.
The libeval grammar can now be rebuilt with "make libeval_grammar".
This is only possible when lemon is installed.
Also a couple of modifications to the lemon grammar to
account for external changes since the grammer was last generated.
Also move the grammar defines into grammar.h - this is how
Lemon produces them, and by manually copying into the target .cpp,
it make automated regeneration impossible.
This is done to avoid a big chunk of conditionally-compiled code
in the middle of the event function.
Also separates the zoom logic from the WX_VIEW_CONTROLS object
and isolates it in a separate class behind a clearer interface.
Add some simple tests for sane steps on GTK+3-sized scroll
steps.
This avoids having to manually specify include/legacy_gal
in and legacy GAL targets, and harominizes with legacy_wx.
This also means .cpp files in common/legacy_gal do not
need to specify the legacy_gal subdirectory, so they
will continue to work as needed when legacy_wx is removed.
CAIRO_PRINT_CTX provides a Cairo context created from wxPrintDC.
It allows one to prepare printouts using the Cairo library and
let wxWidgets handle the rest.
The connectivity files were unwieldy. This separates them logically
into data, algo and items where the items classes are those that hold,
surprise, surprise, the items, lists and clusters.
Note: it's only the renderer that is changed from wxDC to GAL. Tools stay the same, consider this a temporary hack.
This commit splits the EDA_DRAW_FRAME, EDA_DRAW_PANEL and BLOCK_SELECTOR classes into two variants, each independently compiled into a static library.
- "legacy_wx" for PCBnew/Gerbview - wxDC-based legacy canvas. We have full GAL support there anyway so it makes no sense to introduce GAL rendering API to the legacy tools.
- "legacy_gal" for EEschema and the rest - GAL-based legacy canvas, using legacy tools but with a GAL renderer.
Such split ensures only a small part of the common library and eeschema is affected, without messing around with already GALified tools.
The commit also removes some header dependencies on class_drawpanel.h
There are lot of places where constants are used in the KiCad UI
as "magic numbers". The most common one is "5", used in many
wxFormBuilder and manual UI constructions as the margin.
This commit provides a place for all UI to look up shared
constants and other functions, to help create a consistent UI using
functions that provide meaning and intent to these magic numbers.
This is in preparation for making this widget optionally read-only.
Major changes:
* Construct panel in code, not with wxFormBuilder. This make's it
easier to conditionally construct elements that won't be used
in a read-only mode (e.g. the buttons).
* Use a generic "button row panel" widget for the buttons, as the
sizing and layout logic is reusable in nearly all dialogs, and
it's simplifies layout in the higher-level dialog widget. This
widget is one example of many possible "reuable widgets".
This puts generic logic for KiCad environment vars in
one place.
Also updates the DIALOG_CONFIGURE_PATHS help to document
the new KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR and KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR.
This separates the "ground truth" store of hotkeys from what is shown
in the dialog. This will allow us to filter the displayed hotkeys
while keeping the same underlying data structures.
Now, the UI data items interact with an intermediate set of data, which
represents the "original" hotkey data, and the "changed" data. The
ultimate aim here is to allow UI elements to come and go, but the
hotkeys that are "in-edit" are preserved.
This also allows us to abstract some bookkeeping complexity
out of the WIDGET_HOTKEY_LIST class into a separate non-GUI
class.
Also fixes a bug where nets wouldn't get changed because the
pads weren't changed and so the pad nets would propagate and
wipe out the changed nets on the tracks.
Also includes warning dialogs that pad nets will be changed if the
track nets are.

Primary change is to replace most control/window borders with
AUI pane borders. We implement our own AUI border drawing
routine which avoids the ugly one-pixel white frames around
dark canvasses.
Also increases the signal-to-noise ratio of all the pane
creation code in the various frames.
wxWidgets offers two dialog types: wxFileDialog and wxDirDialog, one
to select files, the other to select directories, but neither of them
handles both. DIALOG_FILE_DIR_PICKER fills that gap.
The opencascade patch intrusively checked against libraries but broke
some build scripts. This restores the default cmake OCE behavior that was
changed by 2bab30d9a and makes the OpenCascade search truly secondary.
This is meant as a stopgap for 5.0, with plans to add proper scaled
icons in the 6.0 cycle. A function KiScaledBitmap() is added, which
works like KiBitmap() except it scales the bitmap according to the
calling window's font size. Controls have been added to all the main
applications to let the user select scaling manually (these were omitted
from smaller apps that didn't already have a place to put them).
In addition, in eeschema only, the pixel height of the system font is
shown in the options dialog for diagnostics. This is only for collecting
feedback before 5.0 release from users with different displays and will
be removed.
Moved the code handling text overbars to a single function
(ProcessOverbars()) to replace similar pieces of code trying to do the
same thing.

In order to get rid of another boost dependency, this also changes
the parsing of the XML from Boost.PropertyTree to wxXml.

The zone creation in DRAWING_TOOL was a complex event loop whici
simultaneously managed the event handling, construction of the preview
polygon and the creation and commiting of the zone, all in the same
scope. This has been broken into several pieces:
* POLYGON_ITEM preview item, used to preview the polygon in progress
* POLYGON_GEOM_MANAGER is a class that collects points from user input
and used them to describe a polygon's geometry, including calculation
of 45-degree constrained leader lines
* ZONE_CREATE_HELPER is a class which deals with creating zones based on
geometry from a geometry manager and parameters from the DRAWING_TOOL
* The (much simpler) event loop in DRAWING_TOOL drives the
POLYGON_GEOM_MANAGER. With a minor refactor, this loop can be reused
in future for other polygonal tools if wanted.
The polygon preview now has a translucent fill which makes it easier to
visualise the zone.
This also adds the Close Zone Outline and Delete Last Corner actions as
part of the new event loop.

geometries, such as that used to construct the inductor.
* CENTRELINE_RECT_ITEM a preview item to draw ractangle with a given
aspect ratio along a line (specified using a TWO_POINT_GEOM_MANAGER)
PCB_TOOL gets a generic event loops which should be useful for more
than just microwave tools:
* doInteractiveItemPlacement() - handles event loops that wait for a

This adds a richer overlay to the arc-by-three-points tool in Pcbnew,
including more guide-lines and a live display of radius and angle.
Also included is ability to go back to the previous step (if setting end
angle, you can go back to setting start point, etc) using Backspace, and
Ctrl snaps the start/end angles to 45 degree multiples.
This adds new classes
* MULTISTEP_GEOM_MANAGER: represents a generic "geometry manager" that
builds up some geometrical construction based on a sequence of points.
Used by:
* ARC_GEOM_MANAGER: handles the logical flow of constructing an
arc by centre-point, set radius, set angle. This moves the logic out
of the Pcbnew DRAWING_TOOL event loop in drawArc().
* ARC_ASSISTANT: graphical overlay to communicate current arc shape to
the user during the drawing process
The primary motivation here is to allow other GAL canvas users (eg
Modedit, and soon Gerbview) to be able to easily modify GAL canvas
options.
For now, this doesn't change the display properties dialog in
appearance, but if more GAL options are added, it might need a bit of
tweak and maybe tabs or similar, like Eeschema preferences.
- Pull out compound widget bits into FOOTPRINT_PREVIEW_WIDGET
- Move all pcbnew-specific bits *inside* pcbnew; implementation should

- Make a few class members and inner types private
This allows to measure between features on a PCB. It uses a preview
EDA_ITEM in common, but due to the use of the IDs, it's currently

This simplifies the (already simple) SELECTION_AREA class. It is also
moved into KIGFX::PREVIEW and put in the common library, where it can be
reused by other GAL-aware tools (not just in Pcbnew) in future.
This introduces SIMPLE_OVERLAT_ITEM, which is an abstract EDA_ITEM,
designed for use as an overlay for assisting interactive tools.
The item is drawn only on the GP_OVERLAY layer, and sets the fill,
stroke and line properties before calling a virtual function to draw the
shape, which will depend on the implementaiton of the derived class.
The motivation here is to simplify and unify basic overlays used when
in interactive tools. It is not designed to be the base class of all
possible overlays - more complex ones would be more clearly represented
as their own derivative of EDA_ITEM.
Applications of this class can include: zoom/select rectangles, zone
polygon previews, geometric shape helpers, and so on.
The introduces INDICATOR_ICON, which is a very simple class holding a
bitmap that can toggle on or off.
The ICON_PROVIDER class then provides icons to INDICATOR_ICONS, which
means the class can be used for more than just row indicators.
A default row icon provider is also provided for use in the standard row
selector.
This introduces COLOR_SWATCH, which is a reusable
widget that shows a color swatch and can invoke the colour picker
when duble/middle clicked.
It uses it's own wxCommandEvent to signal the change.
This makes the layer widget simpler internally, and also allows other
code to show identical swatches if needed.
SELECTION now holds EDA_ITEMs not BOARD_ITEMs so various places had to
change to casting the selected items to BOARD_ITEMs.
Fixed compilation warnings on clang (Tom)
Some grid/zoom tools are left in PCBNEW_CONTROL because they currently
depend on Pcbnew-specific class members. Once refactoring is done to
make it possible to use all zoom and grid controls outside of pcbnew,
these last tools can be moved to common to match their ACTIONs.
This class, INCREMENTAL_TEXT_CTRL, is used to provide a frameworks for
classes that want to control a text control that can be incremented
according to some scheme.
Also provided is a wxWidgets implementation with spin buttons for

Define empty string variable KICAD_BRANCH_NAME that can be used as an
optional version string element. When git is used to build the version
string, this variable is set to the git branch name. It can also be
defined at configuration time as an optional string appended to the
$KICAD_VERSION variable.
Define empty string variable KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA that can be set by
the user at configuration.
The variables KICAD_BRANCH_NAME and KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA are only
appended to KICAD_VERSION if they are set. Otherwise, only KICAD_VERSION
is uses as the version string.
