Re: Building KiCad on windows

 

Well I put it in C: and it's still building long after it would have died so must be working. Thank you, let you know how it turns out.

I have, and the previous logs were from it but I was not in C: so I'm running again from C:

Hi,

you should download latest kicad-winbuilder (version 3.3) - https://launchpad.net/kicad-winbuilder

Hi,

it should be simple (read 'Works for me'):

- Enter 'kicad-winbuilder/env' directory and run 'make.bat' *No
make.bat in this folder, using the one from the main folder does not work*
- Wait for the script to finish
- In 'kicad-winbuilder' directory run 'make.bat' *Thats all i was
trying but got errors, log files attached*
- In 'kicad-winbuilder' directory run 'RunKiCad.bat' *ok haven't done
that yet and the make fails*

I tried but got errors and was told to check the logs that told me
nothing other than error2 and error3, I just gave up. I ended up with
1.25GB of cmake files and stuff and noactual programs.

I found the instructions a bit minimal, any chance of a better
instruction being written for it ?

Simon,

Have you tried using  kicad winbuilder? It has the full build
environment which downloads the latest source.

It is on launchpad as well.

    Hello All

    Just thought I'd raise something. It seems that the time between
releases is lengthening as more work is being done to make things
    much better. I did once manage to build a fresh version of KiCAD
on ubuntu and was very pleased with the progress but this was the
    only way of getting the most up to date features. I have since
abandoned ubuntu (thout shalt now screw with my hardware thank you
    on pain of being removed !) and have tried to build the latest
    version on windows to no avail. I'm no programming expert (mcu's
    in arduino is my limit so far) but I'm no idiot and can follow
instructions but instructions for windows builds seem to lack and
    everything bangs on about ubuntu.

Is there any chance of making it easier to build KiCAD on windows
    or am I missing some information out there ?

    Thanks for all your work,

    Simon
