Message #14872
Re: building kicad with wxWidgets on Linux
well, I took the advice offered and added the wxWidgets bin directory
to the front of my PATH. I added the wxWidgets lib directory to the
front of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
cmake . -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/home/jfm/wx/bin/wx-config
cmake . -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/home/jfm/wx/bin/wx-config
CMake Error at CMakeModules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:136
(message):
Could NOT find wxWidgets: Found unsuitable version "2.8.12", but required
is at least "3.0.0" (found
-L/home/jfm/wx/lib;-pthread;;;-lwx_gtk2u_gl-3.0;-lwx_gtk2u_aui-3.0;-lwx_gtk2u_adv-3.0;-lwx_gtk2u_html-3.0;-lwx_gtk2u_core-3.0;-lwx_baseu_net-3.0;-lwx_baseu-3.0;-lwx_baseu_xml-3.0)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
This is the error I have been struggling against. Notice the complaint
about 2.8 and 3.0. That is, the argument to cmake was pointless.
But also notice it did find wxWidgets at ~/wx. It then corrupted the
output to look like it was meant for Windows, not Linux. Linux would
throw up on such drivel. wx-config --libs gives what I would expect
/home/jfm/wx/bin/wx-config --libs
-L/home/jfm/wx/lib -pthread -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_html-3.0
-lwx_gtk2u_qa-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_core-3.0
-lwx_baseu_xml-3.0 -lwx_baseu_net-3.0 -lwx_baseu-3.0
That, at least, looks good to me.
so next I tried
cmake . -DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=/home/jfm/wx
but that gives exactly the same error as the previous error.
Finally I tried just this
cmake .
expecting that to fail, and it did but it gave me the same error as all
the rest of these attempts.
So I am out of possibilities that Google gave me.
How does anybody run cmake with wxWidgets not in /usr/local nor in the
system dirs?

I have very recently built a new 64-bit linux system, with a new GPU.
Of course, I wanted to build kicad on this new system.
I have installed cuda and built wxWidgets 3.0.1 and I really look
forward to to running the push-and-shove router.
But I never make it past the wxWidgets test in cmake.
My system has wxWidget 2.8.12-9 installed and I get the complaint that
3.0 is required.
I built wxWigets 3.01 and installed it in $(HOME)/wx and used the flag
-DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=$(HOME)/wx with cmake. I thought this would
work but it does not and fails on the same complaint about finding 2.8
and requiring 3.0 (or better), but it also says that it found my
$(HOME)/wx wxWidgets.
That is, it fails on the version complaint first and then finds the
wxWidgets 3.0.1 in $(HOME)/wx, or it seems to fail first and then find
newer wxWidgets but cmake fails overall.
The system cmake version is 2.8.12.2.
g++ 4.8.3
kernel 3.16.3
I am not very familiar with kicad cmake. Is there some trick others
have found to accomplish building with wxWidgets not in either
/usr/local nor installed in the system paths?
