Re: footprint library table wizard: need testers

 

Hi Jean-Pierre,

tested on OS X with 5334, without -DKICAD_USE_WEBKIT=OFF,  and wxWidgets 3.0.2 (built via the script).
Builds without problems, seems to work (I didn’t test the wizard itself further).

Independently from that:
With 5333 you seemed to have removed the freeroute.jnlp.
Was it on purpose?
It currently breaks the “make install” at least on OS X because it can’t find the file to copy any longer… the part
<<<
install( FILES resources/freeroute.jnlp
    DESTINATION ${KICAD_BIN}
    COMPONENT resources )
>>>
seems to be quite independent from OS X, though.


Regards,
Bernhard
