A work in progress

I am starting testing the best way to Build KiCAD using Code::Blocks.
My Directions will be based on these links

--- Code: -----== How to build kicad using CMAKE generated CB Makefiles ==--
First Written: 05-Mar-2009
Last Revised: 06-Mar-2009

Kicad needs wxWidgets, the multi platform G.U.I.

Perform these steps in sequence.

Windows ONLY Directions; will try to add Linux Version in future

A. MinGW GCC Compiler steps
A-1)  install "mingw".
A-2)  Install zlib.
A-3)  Install Boost C++ Template Libraries (*.hpp files)

B. wxWidgets Steps
B-1)  Install wxWidgets.
B-2)  Build wxWidgets.

C. kicad build using CMake and Code::Blocks Steps
C-1)  Install the kicad source tree.
C-2)  Install CMAKE
C-3)  Install "Code::Blocks"
C-4)  Use cmake to build the kicad makefiles.
C-5)  Use Code::Blocks to build kicad.

Patch Needed to KiCad SVN Source for Monolithic Build to work; updated patch should not break MultiLib

C-4)  Use cmake to build the kicad makefiles. (My Paths Shown Below; will change in real directions)

--- Code: ---    CD C:\SourceCode\Projects\EDA\KiCad\kicad-svn\kicad
    mkdir build
    mkdir build\release
    mkdir build\debug
   
    CD build\release
    cmake -G "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" -DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR=C:/Apps/MinGW_Boost/include -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR=C:/Apps/MinGW_Boost/include/boost-1_38 -DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=C:/SourceCode/Projects/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-2.8.x-MonoLib -DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR=C:/SourceCode/Projects/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-2.8.x-MonoLib/lib/gcc_dll -DwxWidgets_CONFIGURATION=mswu -DSubversion_SVN_EXECUTABLE="C:/Program Files (x86)/CollabNet Subversion/svn.exe" ../..

New Patch for KiCad; waiting on feedback from KiCAd Devs whether MonoLib or MultiLib is proper build type.
