Unable to build

[Sagar Acharya]

Respected devs,

I am unable to build kicad on voidlinux aarch64 on RPI3. The issue is, it fails to find and link wxPython, wxWidgets.

I found the includes at /usr/include/wx-3.2/
and
lib at /usr/lib/

Updated them under cmake/findWx{something}.cmake

Even then, an error throws up, i.e. setup.h not found.
Thanking you for the fantastic work

P.S. Is it possible to reduce dependencies of kicad?

Hi,

KiCad is not supported on this platform, so I doubt anyone can provide step-by-step build instructions.

It sounds like you are getting stuck at the building wxWidgets stage?  If so, you probably will need to step through that cmake and see where it is getting hung up.

> P.S. Is it possible to reduce dependencies of kicad?

No, all of the dependencies are there for a reason.

Best,

Jon

Hello Sagar,

Missing config.h means that your include flags for wxWidgets are not correctly set.  KiCad attempts to find these using `wx-config --cppflags`.  You can run this command and see what the response is.  It should include something like: -I/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/wx/include/gtk3-unicode-3.2

If it does not, then, that is the issue.  You may have multiple versions of wx installed on your system and wx-config is defaulting to the incorrect version.  You can check this by running `wx-config --list`. You'll see something like this:

    Default config is gtk3-unicode-3.2

  Default config will be used for output

  Alternate matches:
    base-unicode-3.0
    gtk3-unicode-3.0

If you want to force cmake to use a different version, you can use the CMake flag -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_OPTIONS="--toolkit=XXX --version=YYY"  Here, XXX is either 'base' or 'gtk3' and YYY is either 3.0 or 3.2.

Note that KiCad requires wxWidgets 3.2 or later.

Best,

Seth
