The required tools:

  • sudo apt install git cmake cmake-gui

Get the source:

Note: This builds a non-stable version. (Whatever state the code is currently in...)

  • git clone https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror kicad

or maybe:

Note: This should build a stable version. (You can change branch to match current stable version...)

  • git clone https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror --branch 7.0 kicad

The prerequisites:

  • sudo apt install swig libwxgtk3.2-dev libboost1.74-all-dev libglew-dev libglm-dev libglut-dev libcairo-dev python3-dev wxpython-tools libcurl4-openssl-dev libgit2-dev libngspice0-dev libharfbuzz-dev libocct-data-exchange-dev unixodbc-dev libgtk-3-dev libsecret-1-dev
  • sudo apt install iodbc libiodbc2-dev

Set it up:

  • cd kicad/
  • mkdir -p build/release
  • cd build/release
  • cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ../../

Build it:

  • make
