Hi, Were you ever able to resolve the directory to use for these themes? If not, is there another option, or should we close :-( Thanks, Steve On 10 Oct, peter@polidoro.io wrote: > From: Peter Polidoro <peter@polidoro.io> > > * gnu/packages/engineering.scm (kicad): Add 3rdparty search path. > --- > gnu/packages/engineering.scm | 9 ++++++++- > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/gnu/packages/engineering.scm b/gnu/packages/engineering.scm > index c9aec482da..cad419ef70 100644 > --- a/gnu/packages/engineering.scm > +++ b/gnu/packages/engineering.scm > @@ -1155,7 +1155,14 @@ (define-public kicad > (files '("share/kicad/footprints"))) > (search-path-specification > (variable "KICAD7_3DMODEL_DIR") > - (files '("share/kicad/3dmodels"))))) > + (files '("share/kicad/3dmodels"))) > + ;; Using the following environment variable removes write access to > + ;; the KiCad Plugin and Content Manager directory so using any Guix > + ;; plugin or color theme packages requires all plugin or color > + ;; themes to be installed using Guix packages > + (search-path-specification > + (variable "KICAD7_3RD_PARTY") > + (files '("share/kicad/3rdparty"))))) > (native-inputs (list boost > desktop-file-utils > gettext-minimal > -- > 2.41.0 > > > >
This is still an open issue on the KiCad repository. I have been told it is an easy feature for them to add and I was hoping it would be included in KiCad 8, but it has not been included yet. You can close this for now and then I can resubmit someday if they ever get around to adding the new environment variable.
