Cannot build Kicad - no such file or directory

[trayres]

C:\Users\tayres\Downloads\kicad-winbuilder-master>make_all.bat -- HOME_DIR -- KICAD_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR /MINGW-packages/mingw-w64-kicad-git/ -- MSYS2 user name is: $USERNAME= -- Running cd "/MINGW-packages/mingw-w64-kicad-git" && makepkg-mingw -s --nocon firm 2>&1: line 0: cd: /MINGW-packages/mingw-w64-kicad-git: No such file or directory

Went into msys64 folder, ran msys2 shell, then installed the tool groups for x86 and x86_64 manually. These failed multiple times for various network reasons, but finally installed.

But I'm still getting the error.

Does your windows username contain spaces or non ascii characters?

[trayres]

The windows username is tayres. I checked the tickets but I didn't see a fitting issue already opened.

[trayres]

/MINGW-packages/ is not getting created - does that help narrow it down?

[nickoe]

I think the problem is that HOME_DIR is not set. Do you see any folder in the msys64/home?

[trayres]

No I don't; I have an MSYS2 installation that isn't the one provided by Kicad-Winbuilder, is it possible they're interfering?

I could set HOME_DIR with the batch file that kicks off the installation in make_i686, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to fix it with CMAKE driving the show.

[trayres]

I tried to export HOME_DIR in the batch files that kick things off, but that didn't work.

[nickoe]

Try to hardcode it in the cmake file: file( GLOB HOME_DIR "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/${MSYS2}/home/*" ) replace with file( GLOB HOME_DIR "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/msys64/home/tayres" )

[trayres]

Result:

C:\Users\tayres\Downloads\kicad-winbuilder-master>make_all.bat

[nickoe]

Mmm, maybe try set instead of file: set( HOME_DIR "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/msys64/home/tayres" )

[trayres]

That did the trick! Now I'm getting stuck here; attached are CMakeErrorLog and CMakeOutput

NGSPICE library missing Most of ngspice packages do not provide the required libngspice library. You can either compile ngspice configured with --with-ngshared parameter or run a script that does the job for you: wget https://orson.net.pl/pub/libngspice/get_libngspice_so.sh chmod +x get_libngspice_so.sh ./get_libngspice_so.sh sudo ./get_libngspice_so.sh install

Is this a new issue or a continuation of this one?

[nickoe]

Ahh, ok, that is expected. Tou can either install oce or disable that in tge pkgbuild.

[trayres]

I opened the kicad-winbuilder msys2_shell, and I do see mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-oce 0.17.2-4 [installed]

By the way, thanks for the help; hopefully this helps somebody else with the same problem too!

[nickoe]

I am not sure why I asked about oce... the problem is ngspice. Which is built by the PKGBUILD-ngspice-git. But you could also just disbale spice in the normal PKGBUILD if you like.

[trayres]

I'm sorry this is a stupid question - how do I launch PKGBUILD-ngspice-git so I get the DLL'd ngspice to run with KICAD?

I just tried this on another computer with the same problem; I'm thinking the set( HOME_DIR "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/msys64/home/{whatever}" ) might be good to add to a commit?

@trayres Still active?
