- KiCAD depends
- GCC Toolchain
- CMake
- Code::Blocks
- MSys2

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}-make \

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 -Wno-dev \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${MINGW_PREFIX}"/local \
  -DDEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH="${MINGW_PREFIX}"/local \
  -DOCC_INCLUDE_DIR="${MINGW_PREFIX}"/include/opencascade \
  -DKICAD_BUILD_QA_TESTS=OFF \
  -DNANODBC_DISABLE_ASYNC=ON \
  -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM="${MINGW_PREFIX}"/bin/mingw32-make.exe \
  -G"CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" ..
