Re: UPDATE: cad/kicad

Hi Stefan, Hi KiCad users,

Tanks for testing. I was able to trace the error down to our libcxxabi.
Something is wrong here. If you want/have to work with kicad 8.0.4, here
is a workaround:

$ cd /usr/src && patch -p1 -E < ~/patches/libcxxabi.diff
$ cd gnu/lib/libcxxabi && make clean && make && doas make install

diff --git a/gnu/lib/libcxxabi/Makefile b/gnu/lib/libcxxabi/Makefile
index 81673e86a2b..692ab7cc72e 100644

In the end i suspect we don't want this in base.
