Re: Build for software rendering only?

Hi folks,'

This is something I was asked yesterday and I don't know the answer.  Is
there a way to tell KiCad to compile for software rendering only, or do
we have a hard dependency on GPUs now?

I checked
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers/kicad/product/view/head:/Documentation/compiling/build-config.txt
but didn't see anything about GPU/software rendering.

Please note this is not a feature request--just wondering if we can do
it with what we have today.

Hi Adam,

What would be the point? Any computer less than 9 years old has a GPU capable of running Kicad...

Best Regards,
Tom
