Re: Mac packaging update

 

Oh I got it. It crashes if I launch it from build/kicad/src/kicad-build/
kicad/kicad.app

It does not crash if launch from build/kicad-dest/kicad.app

I have been facing another issue from long time, pcbnew.app failed to
initialize python scripting.

kicad's  error dialog pop up says:

09:08:34: ***** Error importing the wxPython API! *****
09:08:34: pcbnewInitPythonScripting() failed.

There seems to be issue with bundled python module search path, above
problem goes away if I
rename wx-3.0-osx_cocoa under
kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/python/site-packages
to wx-3.0-osx_cocoa.old


I found this same issue with http://downloads.kicad-pcb.
org/osx/testing/kicad-nightly-20180426-040756-3f5f591.dmg this also.

Any thought on this?
