https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/commit/016c95802131b99381e7998a46310fc3ca563ca5 "Always build spice simulator support The simulator has advanced considerably, and it is seeing lots of active development, so make it a required part of KiCad. Additionally, the build without the simulator has actually been broken for a while, so no one clearly is building without ngspice right now."
The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=690c2ea6683607554f187b8c8841b2c67a03b4ab commit 690c2ea6683607554f187b8c8841b2c67a03b4ab Author: Zoltan Puskas <zoltan@sinustrom.info> AuthorDate: 2023-07-26 15:05:18 +0000 Commit: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2023-08-09 05:11:10 +0000 sci-electronics/kicad: Make spice simulator mandatory Upstream has dropped conditional build of ngspice since apparently KiCad does not function well without it anyway. While 7.0.6 still has the flag let's not allow turning it off to prevent issues for the users.
