Hi Andy,

What kind of script do you use to build for OS X 10.9.3?

Mine (see email to Bernhard) sort of work. I tried his method of creating the ENV variables, and it worked for KISYSMOD, but not for KIGITHUB. Maybe because KISYSMOD is a path variable while KIGITHUB is an URL.

I am not sure , so I will double check what I did.
I just copied what was on his email and modified the file for KIGITHUB first


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>Label</key>
	<string>local.kicad.kigithub</string>
	<key>EnableGlobbing</key>
	<true/>
	<key>ProgramArguments</key>
	<array>
		<string>launchctl</string>
		<string>setenv</string>
		<string>KIGITHUB</string>
		<string>https://github.com/KiCad</string>
	</array>
	<key>RunAtLoad</key>
	<true/>
</dict>
</plist>


The above definition does not work while the one below is fine.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
    "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>local.kicad.kisysmod</string>
    <key>EnableGlobbing</key>
    <true/>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>launchctl</string>
        <string>setenv</string>
        <string>KISYSMOD</string>
        <string>/Library/Application Support/kicad/share/Modules</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

More news later,
