Re: OSX Build changes.

 

 

Hi, 

and to answer the first question: it now uses everything installed on
your system, the only dependency currently being built in the KiCad
CMake build process is boost. 

But, as Garth already mentioned you must not use a "stock" wxWidgets,
because unfortunately still the overlay support is missing. So, you have
to patch/build your own version as described in mac-osx.txt. 
If you can wait a bit, there will be a small script doing this for you
coming with my next changes... 

Regards,
Bernhard

One thing I noticed is that after doing the packaging build, the icons for all of the programs other than the Kicad project manager are glyphed out. I assume that this is "expected," in the sense that everything is generally supposed to start from the Kicad project manager.

He also updated the OS X compilation instructions available in Documentation/compiling/mac-osx.txt with up to date patching instructions. Note that those patches are for wxWidgets, not kicad itself, so you'll need to rebuild that.
