Run KiCad from Build Directory on MacOS14

[Christian Homeier]

Hello everyone,

can anyone help me get EEScheme running out of Build directory? 

I've changed to MacOS and have a few Problems getting 

KiCad running without VisualStudio.

I set the Variable KICAD_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIR to ON

In my cmake toolchain (mac os builder)

Any tip on getting Kicad compiled on Mac were wunderful. 

Thx

Christian,

KICAD_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIR is an environment variable that needs to be set when running KiCad, not something you should set in your cmake config.

i.e. when running from the build dir from a shell, you can run it with

prompt> KICAD_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIR=1 ./kicad/kicad &

Alternatively, persist it in your shell with `export` or equivalent before running KiCad.

I'm sure you can also set it up to run this way in an IDE if you use one but I'm not familiar.
