Re: Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit Build

 

Thank you Adam, and thank you jp.

Adam:
I tried a fresh build with kicad-install.sh (latest bazaar commit). It also segfaults. I saw videos, and I recall briefly getting to use it before I broke everything trying to update. :) There have been updates to it since, and I am excited to get the build working for me so I can try it again. I realize you have your ppa, and I don't want to duplicate work or anything -- so I guess what I'm trying to accomplish is to provide info and data (another tester person) about my experience building which will help you out any way that I can.

jp:
I have not tried using wxWidgets 3.0. I will do so using the options, and keep track of the build output and report on my results.

Cheers,
Jacob Schmidt

I'm trying to build kicad on Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit.
I've tried both a pre-kiway build and a few more recent ones.
I think that because Lucid is no longer supported, I had to compile
cmake 2.8.11.2, and wxWidgets 2.8.

Every build segfaults on startup. I suspect this is because I'm trying
to build 64-bit, or it may have to do with kiway-specific implementation
(just a guess).
If this is an incorrect suspicion, please let me know.

I would like to help by providing information, first, and then if we can
figure out together how I can create a successful 64-bit build for
Ubuntu, then I would be interested in allowing one of my machines to
periodically build kicad and upload it. I know that users are desperate
for recent working builds. I would like to provide them in this way if
possible. I would like to give back to a great software project.

Cheers,

We don't know your command line to build Kicad and wxWidgets, so it is
hard to say what is wrong.

If you are compiling wxWidgets, use  the 3.0 version.

compiling wxWidgets with options:
  --enable-shared=yes and --with-opengl
is mandatory.
