Hi there, well, I see appox 1GB installed in dependencies and needed sw for build kicad, I see 120 MB of some other downloded stuff then i see 183 MB of KiCad repo. All this took maybe 30 min or so. The build/install process is not sure, 5 min (wild guess).
I update the make part. cheers Fabrizio On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 8:11 PM, Dick Hollenbeck <d...@softplc.com> wrote: > On 07/02/2013 12:48 PM, Fabrizio Tappero wrote: >> Hello, >> I have updated the instructions to install KiCad on Debian and other >> distros... >> http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+EDA+Software+Suite > > Quoting from the site: > > " > That is it.
