Kicad on NetBSD
Hi,
I am looking to using Kicad on NetBSD_5.1-AMD64. I have tried both through Linux emulation and source compilation Linux emulation: Downloaded the latest binaries from the kicad ftp server extract the binaries to: /emul/linux/user/local then for the rest followed the "install guide": You do must have libc.so.6 (does not work with libc.so.5)When I try to launch the program I get: Quote:
Compilation of the latest sources: I installed all the dependencies listed (either from pkgsrc or from source) Run cmake -> ok Run make or gmake and I get the following error(s): Quote:

Thanks,
I had missed the update to the 2010 version. I am currently trying to compile a kicad pkg I created from the FreeBSD ports with port2pkg. And am trying to solve the errors as they occur. I will report back with my results. Does anyone have any recommendations/guidelines/links to go about converting BSD ports for use with NetBSD? Thanks |

Any ideas? I'll get back to it this week-end. |

Unfortunately I suspect you'll recieve little support here, there aren't that many NetBSD users.
As I said, both FreeBSD and OpenBSD support this.. if it is really important to you, there is other CAD software. |

There is at least one past user of NetBSD
Please install boostlibs from pkg_add not pkgsrc (I am thinking that you use current pkgsrc snapshot and therefore you get errors). ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/pack...ibs-1.46.1.tgz You can add above ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/5.1/amd64/All as PKG_PATH variable (or use any other mirror). Then you can compile Kicad from sources- if I was you I would attempt to create a port and put in in pkgsrc WIP repository. This is all- if you don't have a time just install OpenBSD or FreeBSD (FreeBSD would suite you much better). Good luck! Pjoter. |

Thanks Pjoter
I'll have a go with using pkg_add. I was using pkgsrc-2011Q1.tgz... My goal is to create a port (I've got to learn with something). Thought I think it will not be painless^^ I have plenty of time, as my current project is being done on windows using Eagle CAD. But I want to migrate fully to NetBSD over the summer. Has anyone any good reading on the subject of port creation from linux source? (I'll have a read of the pkgsrc manual over the next few days/weeks) Thanks for your help in any case! Fingal. |

If you can't stay on topic, start a new thread. In case you don't know what the original topic was, the OP was asking about building Kicad on NetBSD.

Ocicat,
Could you please fork the thread from the point when we started discussing Java on NetBSD? We are probably going to exchange a few more messages about Java on OpenBSD before he has the working copy of Java plug-in for the browser. Thanks, Oko |

Discussing OpenBSD here in the NetBSD section is inappropriate. If you wish to discuss OpenBSD, do so in the OpenBSD section.

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 |
