Firstly, thanks for the ebuild. I was working toward my first ebuild with kicad, but had only got as far as sorting out necessary patches and a build script. FYI, your ebuild ran successfully on my x86 system, given the necessary extra keyword. Note also that 20010119 kicad sources are available, which used after making the trivial changes to your ebuild. There is a collection of additional materials from the kicad site: component library, demos, help, modules, template. Have you any intention of writing ebuilds to fetch and install these? If not, I'd be willing to make some/all of these - a learning exercise for me.

I didn't use the latest version because it was in different dir than the others so when new version is released, the link becomes dead. :-( > There is a collection of additional materials from the kicad site: component > library, demos, help, modules, template.

The author of kicad has obliged by making the current-version sources also available in the old_versions collection. The ebuilds can now easily use the current release and I'm having a go at making an updated ebuild based on Radek's original ebuild. Also, the support material I mentioned might be better handled out of portage as there is no version numbering.
Created attachment 83122 [details] kicad-20060321.ebuild Could you guys please try this ebuild ? It's for the latest available version, and it installs all additional material (libraries, modules, templates, demos, etc...) plus Wings for 3D models.
Created attachment 83123 [details] kicad-20060321.patch Patch that goes with the ebuild above.
Can you please make it selectable (using the USE flag) to decide whether you want the docs/demos/whatever installed? It's too much bloat... :-(
Denis, just to confirm: it works fine here.
Created attachment 83238 [details] kicad-20060321.ebuild New ebuild. Changelog : * Cleaned-up wxGTK setup and added opengl detection. * Added desktop menu entry. * Added evince support to already existing xpdf, gpdf, and konqueror support (this will be reported upstream). Radek : I understand your problem with the total size. However adding a USE flag isn't something that I can't decide alone. So, I talked about this issue with a gentoo dev, and he said in that particular case it wasn't an option.
Created attachment 83239 [details] kicad-20060321.patch The new patch that goes with the ebuild above.
Created attachment 83649 [details] kicad-20060328.ebuild Here's an ebuild for the newly released kicad-2006-03-28.
Created attachment 83650 [details] kicad-20060328.patch Patch for the above ebuild.
Paul, FYI your ebuild worked for me too - many thanks. Can I draw your attention though, to comment 6 from Radek regarding the location of the current kicad sources? Since then, as in Comment 8 from me, the kicad author has obliged by adding a copy of the current sources to old_versions. This ought to prevent older kicad ebuilds from breaking when new sources are released. Regarding the bloat problem, I agree with Radek that control over the installation of docs, demos, library files etc. should be an option. Instead of a USE flag, do you think that a set of ebuilds would work? For example, kicad-component_doc, kicad-library, kicad-help etc. The component doc is a collection of technical data sheets for the library components. A PCB designer is quite probably already in possession of the required data sheets prior to design entry in kicad, so component_docs is not essential. I think I see your reason for using the precompiled version in addition to the current sources. I would propose that library updates could be handled using an rsync-like action to avoid the duplication that can be expected with frequent kicad updates.
Kicad is now in CVS. So give it a few hours and then you can emerge it.
Testing on amd64: eeschema doesn't link even with wxwidget >= 2.6.3.2
(In reply to comment #18) > Testing on amd64: > eeschema doesn't link even with wxwidget >= 2.6.3.2 OK. You should have reopened the bug, though, because I found you report only by luck. Could we please get more details on the linking failure, as well as the output of 'emerge info' on your system ? Denis.

Hi, Sorry but if I remember correctly, I wasn't able to change the bug status because I wasn't the 'owner' of this bug. It's seems to be a problem with wxwidget too old version. I have tried with wxGTK-2.6.2-r1 and =x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.3.2 ~amd64.

I don't think so. I may be wrong, but I'm convinced that's a real bug from Kicad itself. The problem is I don't have access to an amd64 machine as often as I'd like. When I tried this ebuild on one, it worked without a hitch so I marked it ~amd64. So here's the deal. You contact me directly by email, and we'll sort this out together. Something tells me you might prefer to use French, so feel free to do so. Denis.
Case closed.
