Hi Peter and Guillaume,
thanks for the help.
I've tried to use the Guix shell to have a complete environment
for Kicad but for some reason it does not work (at least for me)
So here are the steps to reproduce:
$ guix shell kicad kicad-footprints kicad-symbols -- kicad
I start I new project and when I get the dialog about the
components I wish to use in the project it all starts to go
wrong.
The path to the symbols and footprints is also attached.
I may be running into a similar problem.
I modified the kicad package to set the KICAD7_3RD_PARTY
environment variable as a native search path.
The environment variable is set properly according to the env
shell command, but kicad reports the path as a concatenation of
the default value and the environment variable.
If there is not a problem with guix concatentating environment
variables somehow, then I assume there may be a bug in the kicad
source code regarding environment variables.
I reported the issue to the kicad developers, but have not heard
any response yet.
