Compiling KiCAD on OSX

gistfile1.txt

Kicad Building:
First, clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/wayneandlayne/KiCadMacOSPackaging.git

Then
modify compile_kicad.py (set the correct location of OCE.framework-- the origin/master assumes your OSX username is `kicad`)
modify compile_wx.sh (reduce # of cores to 3, add some patches and disable mediactrl),
modify setup.sh (make it install bison, oce, and gettext)

Here's the patch to do all that:
(hint: copy this into file and run `git am patchfilename`)

If for some reason the brew patch didn't work, run this:
$ brew install bison oce gettext
$ brew link --force gettext

Now install libngspice_so.sh

$ wget https://orson.net.pl/pub/libngspice/get_libngspice_so.sh
$ chmod +x get_libngspice_so.sh
$ ./get_libngspice_so.sh
$ sudo ./get_libngspice_so.sh install


Now for the MacOSX SDK version dance... ;) 
On my laptop (but not my desktop) I had to change line in compile_kicad.py to:
"-DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk",
But on my desktop, I was able to create an alias of the 10.12 SDK and name it MacOSX10.9.sdk

At this point you should be able to run:
$ ./all.sh
and 30 minutes later you have kicad!
./all.sh

If you get an error "fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories" in install_libraries.sh (git can't merge a library repo), manually delete the repo folder:
$ rm -rf ./libraries/github/library-repos/discret.pretty [or whatever the folder was]

Then continue running all.sh from the library install:
$ ./install_libraries.sh
$ ./update_install_translations.sh
$ ./package_kicad.sh
$ ./package_extras.sh
