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.

Note that those patches are for wxWidgets, not kicad itself, so you’ll need to rebuild that.

OK, so I hate to be "that guy," but when I try to apply the patch with:

$ cd ~/Projects/wxwidgets-3.0.0/
$ patch -p0 ../kicad/patches/wxwidgets-3.0.0_macosx.patch 

where wxwidgets-3.0.0 and kicad are both subdirectories of Projects, that is: 

~/Projects/
~/Projects/kicad/
~/Projects/wxwidgets-3.0.0/

is my tree.

patch just hangs in my terminal. I even updated patch to 2.7.1 (the latest). What am I doing wrong?

Sorry for this sort of newbie question.
