Verify macOS implementation of the SpaceMouse integration.

[Markus Bonk]

Hi,

 

We are trying to verify and QA the SpaceMouse integration in the macOS nightly build. It would appear that the nightly builds are built without it.

Can you please enable it, or confirm that it is definitely enabled.

 

Markus

I will defer to @Adam Wolf for details, but my guess would be it is not enabled, because:

1) KICAD_USE_3DCONNEXION defaults to off, so must be turned on per-platform.

2) It is not referenced in kicad-mac-builder, so there is nothing turning it on.

I know Adam is working on Mac build changes this week so I'm hesitant to change the build settings myself -- Adam, do you want to?

The code freeze is coming up fast. Is there any chance of enabling this on the macOS nightly builds? If not please explain why not and what we can do to have it enabled.

- Markus

[Jon Evans]

I've enabled this for the next build, I'll report back if it has any troubles (I'm currently unable to test locally).

But, in any case, the upcoming code freeze is for new features only.  Since 3Dconnexion driver support has already been merged, any bugfixes for it on macOS would not be considered new features and do not need to happen by the end of this month.

Hi Markus,

I think the build at https://kicad-downloads.s3.cern.ch/osx/nightly/kicad-unified-20220914-003354-f304e2d4f6.dmg should have this enabled.  Let me know if you find it does not.

-Jon

[Markus Bonk]

Hi Jon,

 

I have asked our Mac team to check, and they say that kicad-unified-20220914-003354-f304e2d4f6.dmg still has no 3D Mouse support.

 

- Markus

The build logs show that KICAD_USE_3DCONNEXION is enabled and the SDK stub is built:

[  2%] Building C object thirdparty/3dxware_sdk/CMakeFiles/TDxNavlib.dir/src/navlib_stub.c.o
[  2%] Building CXX object thirdparty/3dxware_sdk/CMakeFiles/TDxNavlib.dir/src/navlib_load.cpp.o
[  2%] Linking CXX static library libTDxNavlib.a
[  2%] Built target TDxNavlib

I am not sure what else I can debug at the moment as I do not have a SpaceMouse to test with.

-Jon

[Markus Bonk]

Hi Jon,

 

We have set up a build environment and used the kicad-mac-builder (but we had to manually brew install harfbuzz)to build.

The builder appears to be enabling NL support:

[...]

-- Including 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse navigation support in pcbcommon

-- S3DSG version: 2.0.0

-- Including 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse navigation support in 3d-viewer

-- Including 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse navigation support in eeschema

[...]

[  2%] Building C object thirdparty/3dxware_sdk/CMakeFiles/TDxNavlib.dir/src/navlib_stub.c.o

[  2%] Building CXX object thirdparty/3dxware_sdk/CMakeFiles/TDxNavlib.dir/src/navlib_load.cpp.o

[  2%] Linking CXX static library libTDxNavlib.a

[  2%] Built target TDxNavlib

[...]

 

and the build works out of the box with 3D Mouse support.

 

Can we have a copy of your build log so that we can compare what the differences are?

 

Markus

[Jon Evans]

Hi Markus,

The full build log for the most recent nightly is here:

https://builder.wayneandlayne.com/job/kicad-nightlies-10.15/lastSuccessfulBuild/consoleText

As of this moment, that corresponds to this image:

https://kicad-downloads.s3.cern.ch/osx/nightly/kicad-unified-20220920-105554-7e8b6083f4.dmg

-Jon

[Markus Bonk]

Hi Jon,

 

Thank you. This is resolved, now.

The logs are fairly identical and the latest nightly kicad-unified-20220920-105554-7e8b6083f4.dmg has 3D Mouse support.

[Jon Evans]

Hi Markus,

We recently switched to providing universal builds on macOS to support arm64, in case your team wants to repeat any testing to see if there are any issues with the SpaceMouse support.

We also just got a bug report where it looks like the navlib driver is hung on exit, do you have any advice?

https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/13196

Best,

Jon

[Markus Bonk]

Hi Jon,

 

I have forwarded your email to the mac team and will get back to you as soon as possible.

[Markus Bonk]

Hi Jon,

 

The mac team have responded with the following:

 

The currently shipped navlib is built as Universal Binary with x86_64 and arm64.

 

We’ve played a little in KiCAD 6.99.0-5015-g618347ef50 on the MacMini (M1):

- macOS 12.6 (3DxMacCore 1.3.0 b18)

- macOS 13.01 (3DxWareMac v. 10.7.3 r3469 and v. 10.7.4 r3493)

- macOS 13.1 (3DxWareMac v.10.7.4 r3493)

 

We cannot see / reproduce a hang or crash.

Neither on start, during “work” with a PCB (removing / relocationg parts) and viewing in the 3D Viewer, nor on exit.

No crash logs were generated either.

Hello Markus,

Thanks for the info, it sounds like there is something particular going on with that one user.

Does the backtrace below indicate that the user has the 3DxWare software installed, or would this occur on any machine with or without the software installed?

[Jon Evans]

An update from the user (see https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/13196 ) indicates they do have the 3Dconnexion software installed, version 10.7.4, and it only happened on the first run.

Maybe there is something about whether or not the navlib settings exist yet that matters (are they created on first use?)

-Jon

[Markus Bonk]

We have tried with a clean install as well as with a drifting device and cannot reproduce the reported issue.

 

-Markus

[Jon Evans]

OK, thank you for looking into this. 

Best,

Jon
