Build errors

[xarx00]

During a completely new build I met with several problems:

1) The build ended In KiCad-Winbuilder.cmake, l.323. That was because at l. 314, the directory "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${MSYS2}/home" was empty. That's why the value HOME_DIR was empty too, and "cd ${HOME_DIR}" at l.323 failed. I fixed this by changing the command at l.314 to:

    file( GLOB HOME_DIR "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${MSYS2}/home*" )

(removing the last slash)

2) After the previous fix, the build went on, but ended during the build of KiCad itself with the error

.....
[ 29%] Building CXX object bitmaps_png/CMakeFiles/bitmaps.dir/cpp_other/tune_diff_pair_skew_legend.cpp.obj
[ 29%] Building CXX object bitmaps_png/CMakeFiles/bitmaps.dir/cpp_other/tune_single_track_length_legend.cpp.obj
[ 29%] Linking CXX static library libbitmaps.a
[ 29%] Built target bitmaps
Makefile:127: recipe for target 'all' failed

as a result of several previous targets having failed, e.g.

common/CMakeFiles/pcb_lexer_source_files.dir/build.make:69: recipe for target 'V:/Martin/BuiltApps/KiCad/kicad-winbuilder/trunk/msys64/home/MINGW-packages/mingw-w64-kicad-git/src/kicad/common/pcb_keywords.cpp' failed
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:546: recipe for target 'common/CMakeFiles/pcb_lexer_source_files.dir/all' failed

The pcb_keywords.cpp is missing in the repository, moreover it is listed in the .gitignore file.

I don't understand how and when the make-files are generated, so I wasn't able to fix the second problem.

I can provide log files for both problems, but I was not able to attach them to the issue.

Best regards, Martin.

How exactly did you execute the build?

[xarx00]

I started it from the cmd by executing make_x86_64.bat.

[nickoe]

The windows command prompt, cmd.exe?

[xarx00]

Yes. I have Win7 Pro x64

[nickoe]

Before you do too much debugging, I suggest you to try from scratch again. Just create a new clone of the kicad-winbuilder repo, such that you keep the old logs to compare the new agianst.

I user issue I think I have seen, but I am not exactly sure why it might happen.

The make files are generated by cmake in the PKGBUILD (inside the msys2/mingw environment) that is run by the cmake from the bat file.

[xarx00]

Can I ask you... Should "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${MSYS2}/home" be empty at the time the make gets to KiCad-Winbuilder.cmake, l.323? If not, what should be inside?

[nickoe]

There should be a directory with your windows username.

What does the this line result in? https://github.com/nickoe/KiCad-Winbuilder/blob/master/KiCad-Winbuilder.cmake#L319

[xarx00]

And to the second problem... Should the various *_keywords.cpp files (like the pkb_keywords.cpp mentioned above) be part of the KiCad build or not? I.e. were they put into .gitignore by mistake or not?

[xarx00]

The username is empty there. But that is understandable as HOME_DIR is empty too. As I mentioned above.

[nickoe]

The keywords cpp files are probably generated by swig or something. I think the issue is only that home path.

I do not understand why there is no directory in the home dir. I will not be able to debug it any more right now. Try to just create a dir in the home dir and rerun. But as said earlier, try a clean run before debugging too much.

[xarx00]

Keyword.cpps... the problem is that the build tries to compile them, even though they are not there. A PKGBUILD file must list them explicitly. For instance, pcb_keywords.cpp is listed in "...\msys64\home\MINGW-packages\mingw-w64-kicad-git\src\kicad\common\CMakeLists.txt".

[xarx00]

I started a clean build today while creating the "..../home/username" directory manually. And after three or four re-runs, it went on successfully. Unfortunately it failed at what seems to be the very end:

Please note that the build was run from "V:/KiCad-Winbuilder" (where the "copydlls.sh" is), not from "C:/Users" (where it is not). And that the error says something about the i686 architecture, while I ran "make_x86_64.bat".

I also re-run the build from yesterday, and it went to the same point too. So my second problem from yesterday has resolved by itself, perhaps someone committed a fix to the KiCad repository. But still no overall success.

What would you suggest to me to do now?

Thank you, Martin

I've found the last problem mentioned above: In "KiCad-Winbuilder.cmake" at l.349 and l.363 there should be "${HOME_DIR}" everywhere instead of "~" and "$HOME". Because "$HOME" points to "/c/Users/xarx".

So there were two problems in all: 1) The home/username dir was not created 3) $HOME instead of ${HOME_DIR}

However, even after the last fix, the "/c/Users/xarx" dir is still mentioned in the log. Is this correct? (I cannot attach the log, so I'm copying its content here:

I returned to KiCad after some time, made a clean build, and had to solve the exactly same problems as before:

• Under "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${MSYS2}/home", there is no directory created automatically
• "~" does not refer to that home directory, but to my Windows home directory instead.

Here is the patch:

I have two things to ask you:

• Do you have files in \share\doc\kicad\tutorials\ finally?
• Does your username in Windows have multibyte characters?

[nickoe]

Some changes have happened since this, so I will close this for now. Feel free to open a new ticket if it still fails for you.
