KiCad

Build problem on Ubuntu 16.04, Curl dependency cited but Curl installed

Asked by David Myerscough

I'm trying to do my first source build of Kicad. Set up everything on an Ubuntu 16.04 VM. Installed all dependencies per instructions on Kicad website. Ran build command from website:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
      -DKICAD_SCRIPTING=ON \
      -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON \
      -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON \
      ../../
make

Got error: Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY CURL_INCLUDE_DIR)

Curl is installed on the system. Are there Curl developer packages I might need?

You probably need one of the packages
libcurl4-gnutls-dev or libcurl4-nss-dev or libcurl4-openssl-dev

Thanks for the help. That did it and got me past that error. Now CMake is complaining about some Boost C++ path variables being undefined. Going to dig into that.....
