Re: Kicad-5522 osx testing - miscellaneous errors

 

Ahh, I see the compile_kicad.sh script is looking for MacOS10.7.sdk - I
only have the 10.9 and 10.10 sdk's

I saw the 10.7 min while running the compile_wx script, but it didn't
give a problem.
(I wonder whether the yosemite patch didn't do anything..)

I will change the 10.7 to 10.10 and go ahead with the compile_kicad
step. If you think it will be incompatible with the wx built with 10.7
minimum - let me know and I will redo that step.

--- scratch that

I'm going back to the beginning and changing all the 10.7's to 10.10,
then rebuild from the beginning.

-----

I'm looking for differences between your successful script and my buggy
build. Maybe it is the 10.7 <-> 10.10 difference in osx version, or
maybe it is still the boost 1.57.0 (which is still lurking below - ready
to be linked to)

Have fun

    OK, I'm looking at:

    I read through your README.md - nice job of explaining your tradeoffs.

    I'm using your 'all.sh' as a to-do list and going through each
    step. Looking good.

    Having fun

    All the build scripts are in my Launchpad repo.  Please search
    the archives as I know I've posted them 3 or 4 times and I cannot

            Hi Adam

            I tried your python enabled nightly in the DEBUG folder.

            Lots of my problems have been cleaned up by your nightly
            - the' KiCad->About' works without an Alert box popping
            up - it looks pretty clean. I tried some of the clicks
            that gave me problems before and it looks pretty solid.

            Thanks much.

            Application: kicad
            Version: (2015-03-15 BZR 5517)-product Release build

            ABI 1002,GCC 4.2.1,STL containers,compatible with 2.8)
            Platform: Mac OS X (Darwin 14.1.0 x86_64), 64 bit, Little
            endian, wxMac
            Boost version: 1.54.0

                     BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON
            KICAD_USE_WEBKIT=OFF

            The only thing that looks different from my builds is the
            use of Boost version 1.54.0 instead of my 1.57.0
            I think my 1.57.0 was massaged slightly by one of my
            builds in the past - perhaps it has problems.

            The newPCB->Tools->Scripting Console does pop up, but as
            noted by others before, as soon as you type the 'e' in
            help - things go wrong. This is fine - a nightly build
            (particularly in the DEBUG folder) is there to show the
            latest stuff and what needs to be done.

            It would be good to also have an OSX nightly
            incorporating whatever is available for panning support
            too. Since your nightlies are for OSX only, progress on
            panning for OSX might shine a light on the problems for
            other platforms.

            I had a glimmer of success a couple of weeks ago when I
            did a merge of Garth's trackpad branch - but this was
            masked by my other difficulties (perhaps my Boost 1.57.0 ??).

            Are your nightly build scripts available? I could try
            again with Garth's files.

            Thanks again

            Bob G

                The differential pairs and length tuning stuff do
                not depend on python
                scripting as far as I know and should be available
                in the latest
                nightlies.
