Hi.
Back to the original subject: Kicad
The gods have smiled upon my endeavors, and I am pleased to say that I have successfully compiled Kicad on NetBSD. \o/
(In any case, it runs. I'll see if it hold up to closer scrutiny over the next few days.)
To do so, I restarted from scratch and followed the pkgsrc manual (ch.10).
I also gathered inspiration from the FreeBSD port and one of the patches provided.
(by the way, the patch was to solve the initial problem I had with the boost library, where I reached a compilation error to do with the C++ macros and, or, xor, ...)
I still have a question though.
Kicad comes in 3 parts:
- the source
- the documentation
- the component libs
Each of these as a separate file to download.
With the first two on the main ftp server and the last through bazar.
Would it be better to:
- create one package for each? (perhaps with a buildlink3.mk for the latter two to include them in the first)
- have everything in one package?
- have one for the source and docs (done by FreeBSD), and maybe one for the libs?
I suppose this is more a philosophical question, but I would be interested to know what your views are.
Thanks again for your help
Jonathan
