How-to build KiCad with MSys2 Code::Blocks

by Tim Stahlhut (stahta01)

Requirements

- KiCAD source
- KiCAD depends
- GCC Toolchain
- CMake
- Code::Blocks

MSys2 Mingw Environment package install commands

pacman -S --needed git ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-cmake ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-gcc \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-boost \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-pkgconf \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-codeblocks \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-swig

pacman -S --needed ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-opencascade \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-glm \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-libgit2 \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-ngspice \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-nng \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-protobuf \
  ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-wxPython

Build KiCad using CMake and Code::Blocks Steps

  • Clone git repo
    mkdir -p ~/devel && cd ~/devel && \
git clone https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror.git kicad
  • Create CB Project
mkdir -p ~/devel/kicad/cb_build && cd ~/devel/kicad/cb_build && \
cmake \
  -DOCC_INCLUDE_DIR="${MINGW_PREFIX}"/include/opencascade \
  -DKICAD_BUILD_QA_TESTS=OFF \
  -G"CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" .. > log.txt
