Ah, I see Jeff fixed up my commit for OSX in the master branch. I've cherry-picked his fix for 5.1. Let me know if it doesn't fix it. Best- Seth On 2019-07-11 13:59, Adam Wolf wrote: Builds at at 044b4a6d4 on master went through fine. Adam On Thu, Jul 11, 2019 at 11:04 AM Seth Hillbrand

@Tomasz Wlostowski I just found that it looks like someone has uploaded a wxwidgets 3.1 pkgbuild for the mingw-packages for msys2, I could try to build and and rebuild your branch for windows. https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-wxWidgets3.1/PKGBUILD On Tue, 9 Jul 2019

It looks like people are happy with the patches, can we get them merged so they don't get lost and we don't need to rebase them locally all the time? On Fri, 5 Jul 2019 at 19:01, Simon Richter wrote: > > Hi, > > On Fri, Jul 05, 2019 at 06:24:45PM +0200, Tomasz Wlostowski wrote: > > > > I can't te

Re: [Kicad-developers] Arc Adjustment proposal

Don't get me wrong... I don't say KiCad has not to be improved. I just say that complex mechanical objects have to be designed and checked in a mechanical environment. And that is exactly what we have done with the KiCAd libraries... Most of footprints are designed using scripts and are checke

Re: [Kicad-developers] Arc Adjustment proposal

I strongly disagree with this mindset. It feels like saying that because KiCad is currently bad at something, it should always be bad at something and users should just use a different tool because KiCad will never be good at it. If we have the developer interest to make KiCad good at drawing thing

If you’re going to do everything in DXF, why have drawing tools at all? (And by corollary, if you’re going to have drawing tools then make them suitable for the task at hand.) Cheers, Jeff. > On 11 Jul 2019, at 17:16, easyw wrote: > > > On 07/11/2019 5:17 PM, Jeff Young wrote: >> Here’s a f

Hi Adam- This looks like the result of a cherry-pick I did the other day. Do you get this error in the master branch as well? -S On 2019-07-11 11:55, Adam Wolf wrote: Hi folks! Running into a build error on my macOS jobs for 5.1: I'm adding what I think is the appropriate message... 05:
