5.99.0-7573-ge07848d887 Warning: Missing ngspice shared library Error loading editor Could not create simulator instance

 

now from my correct email address


For the first time I achieved to compile from source as described in the
official kiCad Docu.


On Windows 10 under MINGW64.

Starting the build from within MINGW I was able  to open two of my older
projects.

No problems up to now. The Translation Englisch to German is not yet
completed: Some things in German some in English.

But I have a real problem when trying to start ngsim.


Warning: Missing ngspice shared library

push button ok

Error loading editor Could not create simulator instance

push button ok

Eeschema Window hangs or dies.


Might be the reasons are missing installation steps or strange ngspice
path ? I will try to look in the code and find out myself. But as I am
an absolute beginner in the KiCad Source it would be very helpful if
someone could help me.


best regards

best wishes
