About the app

KiCad is an electronic design automation (EDA) suite for schematic capture, PCB layout, SPICE simulation and much more.

Version 5 is included in the Raspberry Pi repository, but version 6 was released earlier this year and provides many desirable new features.

I have tested the build on Raspberry Pi 2, Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 400 using both Buster and Bullseye (32 and 64 bit versions).

Hello there 👋 Thanks for submitting your first issue to the Pi-Apps project! We'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, we encourage you join our Discord server, where you can ask any questions you might have.

I took a look at the buildscript. it looks pretty good though there are some slight changes I would make.

KiCAD definitly deserves a home in pi-apps. The main thing I would change is the installation of boost to be more inclusive of other distros (ubuntu based). I will note, KiCAD version 7 will require boost 1.71 (meaning it can't be built with system boost from buster/bionic). So version 6 is likely where this script will stay unless someone wants to add static boost library building to this install script as well.

Great, glad it looks okay. Have at it with any changes.

Bullseye includes boost 1.74, so wouldn't that work? I can look into building it statically, though I guess it will be a while before we have KiCad 7 to deal with.

theofficialgman commented 1 year ago

KiCAD seems to come out with a new major version release every 1-2 years. to it could be next year, it could be the year after that.

ideally we want to continue supporting buster and bullseye in all the apps on pi-apps... at least until the marjority of users have moved over to bullseye

I was reminded of this issue with the recent announcement that the PiOS repos now include kicad 6.0.8. Maybe this script could be changed to install their deb, if available, otherwise compile 6.0.9.

app fails to install due to missing dependencies on required target(s): https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/actions/runs/4010483841 just like I warned you about here https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/issues/2132#issuecomment-1250335400

KiCad/description

KiCad is an electronic design automation (EDA) suite for schematic capture, PCB layout, SPICE simulation and much more.

This is a large package to download and build and will require several hours on a Raspberry Pi 4(00). It has also been tested on a Raspberry Pi 2 but will take days to build and requires a large swap file.

To run:
  Menu -> Other -> KiCad
