Contribute to KiCad (under Linux)
--------------------
1) make sure you have all the dependencies of KiCad:
sudo apt-get install debhelper dpatch libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dev mesa-common-dev
sudo apt-get install libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libboost-dev fakeroot
sudo apt-get install cmake bzr
sudo apt-get install cmake bzr bzrtools
2) initialize Bazaar:
bzr whoami "John Doe <john.doe@gmail.com>"
3) get latest KiCad source tree:
cd ~/
bzr branch lp:kicad kicad.bzr
this should leave you with the folder kicad.bzr
4) Read coding_style_policy.pdf, in kicad.bzr/Documentation,
and other docs.
5) create a local (branch) copy of the KiCad project
bzr branch ./kicad.bzr ./kicad.my_contrib
6) Modify/add source code in
cd kicad.my_contrib
gedit .......
if you need to create and add the file foo.cpp do so and:
bzr add foo.cpp
if you need to delete files:
bzr rm foo.cpp
7) Compile:
cd kicad.my_contrib
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
to build a debug version
or
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
to build a release version
make -j8
8) Repeat step 6 and 7 until satisfied.
9) Create a patch file:
cd kicad.my_contrib
bzr diff > my_changes.patch
9) Send the patch file "my_changes.patch" to the KiCad developers mailing list.
in the subject of the e-mail include the keyword "[PATCH]".
in the body of the e-mail clearly explain what you have done.
for more info see INSTALL.txt.
