Re: Build Server for MacOS

 

90% chance AppVeyor won't work because its build time restricted to 60
minutes. And KiCad builds quite slowly on the free services taht only
provide 1 or 2 cores.


An alternative, there's also the Azure Pipelines KiCad account where I run
Coverity. It has unlimited minutes for open source project and provides
macOS/Linux/Windows VMs with up to 10 parallel jobs at a time.
