Another thing that might help is the attached script. I use it to make test
builds of KiCad, and it doesn't require any special privileges. Just do a git
clone, then make a build subdirectory, and run the script like so:

cd kicad
mkdir build-m
Thanks, I will give it a try.
I still believe the '-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=' setting should behave as

Best,
Andrew

Hi, sorry for the confusion there.
The symbols repo has been migrated to v7. You should no longer use the
master branch from symbols for v6 dailies (as you noticed). Footprints
have not yet been migrated in format, but will be eventually and already
contain references to v7 paths. 3d models wi
