Add KiCad #1395

Open gworkman opened 4 years ago

gworkman commented 4 years ago

Hi all,

I would like to see KiCad added as a bundle. There is a Flatpak available, but it does not work well on high res screens, and generally doesn't work as well as native versions on other distros I've used. I tried compiling it from source but was having significant problems with wxWidgets installation.

With guidance I am willing to help resolve this issue.

Looking at building with autospec it needed an autospec change for failed_commands to match GLEW so that glew-dev is added to the build requires. Then it seems to fail because nspice isn't packaged but I had to stop for now. If you would like to try this yourself, take a look at https://github.com/clearlinux/common for how to get started building packages for Clear Linux. @puneetse may have links to better entry point or further documentation though.
