Re: Opening pcbnew from kicad: ImportError: No module named pcbnew

 

Still the same with:

$ rm -r build
$ mkdir -p build/release
$ cd build/release
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
      -DKICAD_SCRIPTING=ON \
      -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON \
      -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/SW \
      ../../
$ make -j8
$ make install
$ cd ~/SW/bin
$ ./kicad 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 3, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pcbnew
$
:-(
