Thank you to all those who've made us aware of some recent build system changes that broke things - we'll work on a patch and issue corrected files in the next day or two. Apologies for being slow to get back to this.

benx45h: There are two major differences between the two packages.

The first is that this one isn't just "whatever the latest is in Git", but rather is pinned to a particular commit each day so as to aid reproducability and try and help guarantee a usable build each update

The second is that kicad-git cannot be installed along side kicad, which means if you want to use both a kicad-git nightly build and stable on the same machine, it's just not possible.. This package on the other hand is designed to be side-by-side installed so suffixes on -nightly and puts both config and binaries in a different location to allow all this to work seamlessly.

Just a little correction: the file to patch is cmake/Functions.cmake not make/Functions.cmake

I was getting the same error as @silvan_rehm when trying to build the latest version. Seems the file to patch has moved to make/Functions.cmake. You can enter the path at the prompt or modify the patch file. If you modify the patch file you'll have to skip it's checksum verification.

updating on my system leads to this:

Making package: kicad-nightly 6.99.0_2636_gee8116e55f-1
[..]
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I think the opencascade dependency is broken

Hello, could be the -DKICAD_I18N_UNIX_STRICT_PATH=ON option be added to the build() in the PKGBUILD file? I'm translating and need to change between languages and without this option I got an error: The KiCad language file is not installed.

I installed this package with paru with default settings and when tried to switch languages had that error.

Without KICAD_I18N_UNIX_STRICT_PATH flag translation files are in: /usr/lib/kicad-nightly/share/kicad/internat/es_MX/kicad.mo, with the change is /usr/lib/kicad-nightly/share/locale/es_MX/LC_MESSAGES/kicad.mo.

After this change I can now switch languages without problems.

I don't know if this behaviour is reproducible or it's just me (using ArcoLinux btw).

-DKICAD_BUILD_I18N=ON option is already in the PKGBUILD file, so I think is expected to be able to change languages easily. I don't know if enabling KICAD_I18N_UNIX_STRICT_PATH can cause some troubles but in my case was necessary.

Please change the url= from kicad-pcb [dot] org to kicad.org, as the old one has to be considered compromised: https://forum.kicad.info/t/warning-avoid-all-links-to-kicad-pcb-org-use-kicad-org/31521

Could someone verify if the scripting console is working? I'm getting this runtime error:

TypeError: EvtHandler.Connect(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'WindowIDRef'

dr450nf1r3: We do not specify any flags to Ninja in the PKGBUILD, the only way for it to complain at you is if your AUR helper or makepkg config is in some way screwed up and wrong - the correct way to limit the number of cores with Ninja is -j 1. This looks like a failed flags specification, please check your configs.

Getting a compilation error in clean chroot - logs are available here

Sorry johnfound that it took a month, but we have now fixed this omission with a tweak to the PKGBUILD. A fully working version of the change should deploy in tonight's nightly (~3h)
