这篇博客详细介绍了在Windows和Linux环境下编译开源电子设计自动化软件KICAD的步骤。从安装必要的工具，如msys和mingw，到配置和编译wxWidgets、zlib、CMAKE等依赖库，再到使用CMAKE创建和构建KICAD的makefiles，最后通过make命令完成编译和安装。文章特别强调了在编译过程中遇到的问题和解决方法，适合想要深入了解KICAD开发或自定义构建的读者。

如果你还不清楚什么是KICAD,那还是先google一下去吧，研究了好久都没有成功，原因主要是没有从事过这么复杂的编译（以前用vs 的用习惯了），

其实熟悉linux 的用户早就应该知道一个密密那就是如何安装都在源码包里面的，如:KICAD它的编译方法也不外外：

--== How to build kicad using CMAKE ==--

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

Perform these steps in sequence. (Platform specific details are given in
sections below.)

1) If windows, then install "msys" and "mingw".
2) If linux, then install "mesa".
3) Make sure g++ and "make" are in your path.
4) Install wxWidgets [and build it if on windows].
5) Install zlib [and build it if on windows].
6) Install CMAKE
7) Install Boost C++ Template Libraries (*.hpp files)
8) Install the kicad source tree.
9) Use cmake to build the kicad makefiles.
10) Use make to build and install kicad.
11) Making a "Debug" build.
12) Variables for fine-tuning the build process.

===== Step Details ====================================================

1) If windows, then install "msys" and "mingw".
Skip this step if on a Unix box. Get msys and mingw here:
http://mingw.org/
msys sets up a development environment that allows the bash shell to run.
mingw are a set of tools that run on windows or under msys. You will need
at least the following mingw packages: make, gcc, g++, binutils, autoconf, and
automake.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) If linux, install "mesa". Use your package manager to install the development
libaries.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Make sure g++ and "make" are in your path.
If windows, then try running g++ and make from within your msys bash shell.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) Install wxWidgets [and build it if on windows].
If on windows, download
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.8.8.zip or a newer version.
Start msys so you have a bash shell. Decide where your wxWidgets build directory
will be. It must be where you can access it from within the msys environment,
such as home/<user>. Edit your msys/1.0/etc/fstab file if needed to provide
access to this build directory from msys. (Note that if you want you can build
a "debug" version of the wxWidgets library at this point, instead of the release
version, or in addition to the the release version.)
Unzip the wmMWS zip file into the build directory. Change directories into there,
and then:

mkdir build-release
mkdir build-debug

-- release
    cd build-release
    ../configure --enable-unicode --enable-monolithic --disable-shared --with-msw --with-opengl
    make
    make install

-- debug
    cd build-debug
    ../configure --enable-unicode --enable-monolithic --enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb --disable-shared --with-msw --with-opengl
    make
    make install

I think the default is to install into /usr/local/wxMSW-2.8.8. You can probably
pass --prefix=<wxInstallDir> to configure above to change where "make install"
puts everything. We will refer to <wxInstallDir> again below. Without the
--prefix=<wxInstallDir> passed to configure, <wxInstallDir> will likely be
/usr/local/wxMSW-2.8.8

Verify that wx-config is in your path. Modify your PATH environment variable
if need be so you can run wx-confi
