Hi Cedric,
I've heard good things about arch linux but didn't get a chance to try it yet.
My guess is that this kind of development steps are not so documented because people are using different ways and flavors for build and debugging KiCad.
Nevertheless, it would be good to have it documented somewhere..

Have a good new year too!
Mario

Subject: [Kicad-developers]  Debugging Kicad, can this be done with Qt creator?

Hi Mario,

I have done the lazy route by using arch linux (manjaro) and opening the project in Qt. The first breakpoint has been hit, so I can start my devel work :-) .

I will reinstall manjaro, and document the steps I've taken. Then I will post a patch on compile.md.

Cheers and happy new year,
Cedric
