Re: OSX Nightlies Update

 

I'm building Garth's stuff

This was what I did:

Directory structure

KiCad-TP
  osx-trackpad-gestures
  wx-src
  wx-bin
  Other files you want to keep

======

Load source files for wxPython into the wx-src directory

Built wxPython using the script: (see attached script - but it is listed
below)

Note that the osx_build_wx.sh script has the yosemite patch added (see
previous email)

Bobs-MacBook-Air:osx-trackpad-gestures bobgus$ more osx_wx.sh

sh scripts/osx_build_wx.sh ../wx-src ../wx-bin ./ 10.10 -j4

Bobs-MacBook-Air:osx-trackpad-gestures bobgus$

cd osx-trackpad-gestures
sh osx_wx.sh 2>&1 | tee ../wx_build01.out

======

Doing the configure stage (see attached kicad-configure.sh file)

cd osx-trackpad-guestures
sh ../kicad-configure.sh 2>&1 | tee ../ki-config01.out

Now do the make stage:

make 2>&1 | tee ../ki-make01.out

I’m waiting for it to end, but will probably go to bed now. It is on 68%
and still going

Hi, Nick

There were a couple of things that prevented me from requesting a merge.  The first was simply that it had little to no testing on other than OS X, and I wanted to get more flight time on other platforms and pointing devices to make sure it behaves well.

The other thing that I can recall is that there is some work needed on the preference for the 3d viewer and pl_editor.  If I recall correctly, there was no straightforward way to propagate the mouse preferences from pcbnew to the 3d_canvas, and there was no place at all to hang the preferences for pl_editor.  Orson and I had a very brief conversation on-list about where these prefs belong, but it wasn’t more than a passing thought.  I’m sure it these are solvable without too much drama, but it was about this time that I was pulled away from kicad by an increased workload at work and some family issues.

Since then I’ve tried to merge the product branch about once a week, but I haven’t done much more than that.  I hadn’t thought about requesting a merge simply because I wasn’t sure I’d have the time to work on it.  I can try to make some more time for this if folks think it’s important, but I can’t reliably predict the outcome.  As it stands now it should be pretty usable on OS X unless one or more of my merges went badly.  I’m using it in my builds and haven’t noticed anything, but I haven’t been exercising it as much as I’d like.

You should try out Garth's OS X trackpad patch, see the email thread

https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg15527.html

It will add another option to the properties window, where you can
enable this feature, and it probably make it better to use for some
people. I have tested it on linux and found no issues, although I use
the default mode which I like better (usually).

@Garth, is there any current issues with your patch that blocks merge?

2015-02-18 5:56 GMT+01:00 Bob Gustafson <bobgus@xxxxxxx>:
OK, View->default, I do see the scrollbars.
View->openGL and View->Cairo, I don't see scrollbars.

In all views, my trackpad (up-down or sideways) just controls the zoom. No
panning.

What are the recommended settings for a built-in trackpad with one clicker?

In GAL mode there are no scrollbars by design, it is not a Mac OS X
issue. Do users miss them?
Personally I'd never noticed there were scrollbars in the default canvas,
let alone that they were missing in GAL mode...

A quick search on the bug tracker didn't turn up any complaints about them
missing.

Bob: do you use the scrollbars because panning with the mousewheel doesn't
work for you, or is it more out of habit?
