Marco, It looks like the previous problem has been fixed, and I am now able to complete the build. I just finished to build the BZR4837 without trouble. I understand what you said about the install. but the cake process is not working right. During the "make install", a “bin" directory is added

I am also a strong supporter on good and stable conventions that allows consistency in the electrical symbols. Naming conventions are important as they help to understand what the part is. I don’t really care about the unit used for the symbols, but we need to pick one up and stick to it, and rej

Jean-Paul, I've well realized that there are problems to build Kicad on OSX, i've worked a lot since 2008 to let it work as it does now including a lot of patches needed to make it work. The documentation on how to compile Kicad is in Documentation/compiling/mac-osx.txt, do you have tried following
