Kicad,libgnomeprintui

[slack631]

Hi,
Out of curiosity, I tried to install KiCad, using spi, which makes it easier, but still unrelated to this,
i came across some dependency problems. It seems that some libraries are installed,
but not the correct versions. Specifically the process stopped at libgnomeprintui.
It looks like this:

Code: Select all

configure: error: Package requirements (
	gtk+-2.0	   >= 2.6.0
	libgnomeprint-2.2  >= 2.12.1
	libgnomecanvas-2.0 >= 1.117.0
	gnome-icon-theme   >= 1.1.92
) were not met:

And I have all those packages installed, just newer versions it seems.

I hope that SBO will resolve it.

In fact, after I installed gnome-icon-theme and gnome-colors-icon-theme,
the installation libgnomprintui is OK now. A bit weird.

Hi, In the meantime, I resolved libgnomeprintui. I edited the post.
Now to see how kicad installation goes.

Now to see how kicad installation goes.

You are going to need cmake if its not already installed on your system.

Also there will be another problem with the wxPython package. Per Slackbuild (http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/ ... ent/kicad/)

KiCad requires wxPython built with the GNOMEPRINT=YES option.

So you will need to build wxPython by passing this option to slapt-src, like this:

Code: Select all

GNOMEPRINT=YES slapt-src -i wxPython

Yes, wxPython needs to be bult with gnomeprint enabled. Other than that had no problems.

Installation was successful. So it is solved.
