Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
--------------------------
After a fresh install you need the following packages to compile and run
KiCad from source.
Boost - Collection of portable C++ source libraries
CMake - Cross-platform make
Doxygen - Documentation system for several programming languages
GLUT - The OpenGL Utility Library
wxGTK - The wxWidgets GUI toolkit with GTK+ bindings
zlib - General purpose data compression library
Because boost is in the repository of kicad you don't need to install them.
Install these with aptitude:
----
sudo aptitude install build-essential cmake doxygen subversion libglut3 libglut3-dev libwxgtk libwxgtk-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev
----
Checkout the source
----
svn checkout https://kicad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kicad/trunk/kicad kicad
----
Generate makefiles
----
cd /home/<you>/<kicad-src-dir>
cmake .
----
Compile
----
make
----
*Note* on multicore systems you can do parallel make jobs to speed
up compiling by giving the option -j {JOBS} to make.
Ubuntu 9.04

The first thing I did was follow this page up to the running kicad section
http://basicubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/installing-kicad-on-ubuntu.html
This resulted in the error message detailed in this post
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-devel/message/3180

The build fails with the following message

The next step was to remove any libboost 1.34 libraries using the apt-get
remove command (can't remember the exact commands I used) as the Ubuntu 9.04
(Jaunty) repositories only had the 1.34 version available.
After this I installed the boost 1.37 libraries
using this command
---------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install libboost1.37-dev
---------------------------------------
This pulled down all the required files and dependencies (as far as I
know-how do I check this?)
I then entered the following command
---------------------------------------
fakeroot debian/rules binary
---------------------------------------
and everything was built properly (I saw a few warnings flash past-will
these be logged anywhere?)
I was left with a bunch of debian packaged files. I installed the main one,
the common one and an English language documentation one (I can supply more
details if needed later as I am not using Ubuntu at the moment).
The first link above describes moving the libraries and other files into the
same place as the compiled executables. I didn't do this, so I have a
duplicate installation.
The above method needs some fine tuning and improvements. If you can let me
know of a tidier way of compiling Kicad please let me know.
Maybe there is a way of automating things with scripts, my Linux knowledge
doesn't go that far, yet.
Ubuntu (8.04)
-------------
Original from:
http://basicubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/installing-kicad-on-ubuntu.html
Required software and dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We need to install the following packages: debhelper, dpatch, libx11-dev,
libglu1-mesa-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev, mesa-common-dev, libwxbase2.8-dev,
libwxgtk2.8-dev, libboost-dev, subversion, cmake (>= 2.6.0).
---------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install debhelper dpatch libx11-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev mesa-common-dev libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev
libboost-dev fakeroot subversion libboost-serialization-dev
---------------------------------------
And finally, we need cmake, but we need atleast version 2.6, the one
from the repository is not the updated one (atleast for ubuntu 8.04).
You can download version 2.6 from newer ubuntu releases.
Just search for cmake on http://packages.ubuntu.com then get a newer
cmake .deb file and install the downloaded package on the console
with:
---------------------------------------
sudo dpkg -i <packagename.deb>
---------------------------------------
But if what the repository gives you is atleast version 2.6, then
simply
---------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install cmake
---------------------------------------
Get KiCad Sourcecode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will be getting the source codes through subversion. Create a directory
where you'll be downloading the source codes, and go to that
directory. type the following:
---------------------------------------
svn checkout https://kicad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kicad/trunk/kicad kicad
svn checkout https://kicad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kicad/trunk/kicad-doc kicad-doc
svn checkout https://kicad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kicad/trunk/kicad-library kicad-library
---------------------------------------
Also we need the following to get the debian specific stuff
---------------------------------------
svn checkout http://svn.flexserv.de/kicad/trunk/debian
---------------------------------------
Compiling
~~~~~~~~~
To compile simply do the following on your terminal (make sure you're still in
the same directory where you did the svn)
---------------------------------------
fakeroot debian/rules binary
---------------------------------------
hopefully, there will be no errors.
You'll find the compiled version of KiCad in the following directory:
---------------------------------------
debian/kicad/usr/bin/
---------------------------------------
to complete things up, you'll need to copy the following folders
---------------------------------------
debian/kicad-common/usr/share/kicad/library
debian/kicad-common/usr/share/kicad/modules
debian/kicad-common/usr/share/kicad/template
---------------------------------------
in here
---------------------------------------
debian/kicad/usr/share
---------------------------------------
again, to run KiCad go to
---------------------------------------
cd debian/kicad/usr/bin/
---------------------------------------
and double click KiCad
Debian squeeze (testing)
------------------------
Special Note
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After SVN trunk revision 1753 boost library 1.36 or higher is needed
to compile KiCad.
Installing Packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following packages should be installed with
synaptic, apt-get or aptitude:
- build-essential
- cmake
- libboost-dev
- libwxgtk2.8-dev
- libglut3-dev
The following packages will also be installed then
- cmake dependencies
- boost development dependencies
- wxwidgets development dependencies
- opengl3 (glut) development dependencies
Get KiCad sourcecode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Checkout sourcecode using subversion or download latest release.
.*Subversion*
---------------------------------------
svn checkout https://kicad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kicad/trunk/kicad kicad
---------------------------------------
.*Release*
---------------------------------------
wget http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/cao/kicad-sources-2009-02-16.tar.gz
tar -xvf kicad-sources-2009-02-16.tar.gz
---------------------------------------
Compiling
~~~~~~~~~
Run 'cmake .' in the root of the source directory then build the
binaries with 'make'.
Installing
~~~~~~~~~~
For installing you could use 'make install' or build a debian package.
