I've managed to build PCBNew and figure I should be able to incorporate PCB renumbering into the source.
I cannot figure out how to access the code documentation: I end up on dead links whenever I try and its kid of hard given the fact that most searches lead to user documentation.
I would like and work with the developers to add renumbering to V6. I realize I will have to rewrite a significant portion of the code but the "hard part" should be able to stay the same.
If you can help get me started I would appreciate it. There are some things I will need to understand with respect to the general direction of file formats, etc., so as not to waste too much effort.
In the meantime I am trying to track down one last bug and will put my code into line with the KiCad coding standards.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Subject: [Bug 1752150] Re: Build from source MSYS2 the Easy Way Fails
Hi Brian,
I think your feature is a good idea and it would be great if you got involved in KiCad development. We are just now thinking about the roadmap for V6.0 and beyond, since 5.0 is so close to release.
Back-annotation including geographic refdes updating was already proposed as a thing that we want to have in the future (but I don't think anyone other than you has worked on it). It might be good for you to talk with Orson and Tom about your plans and coordinate, since I think they have thought about it some already, and back-annotation covers a number of features (like pin/part swapping) in addition to updating refdes based on location on the board.
Feel free to reach out to me by email or on the forums (username
craftyjon) if you want tips as you get involved with modifying the KiCad code.
Bug description:
As per the title, after numerous attempts, this fails on Windows 10.
I completely installed Msys2 and made sure there were no other
instances.
$ makepkg-mingw -is
runs for several minutes and fails with
"CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:577 (find_package):
By not providing "FindOCE.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "OCE", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OCE" (requested
version 0.16) with any of the following names:
OCEConfig.cmake
oce-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "OCE" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "OCE_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If "OCE" provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed."
Initially these files were not in my computer. I went to the directory
mingw-w64-oce
and there were only 3 files: oce-i686.install, oce-x86_64.install, and PKGBUILD. The only one I could figure out what to do with was PKGBUILD, so I ran
$ makepkg-mingw -is
within mingw-w64.
This ran for several hours. It gave me errors

correctly.

Sure enough the build of OCE failed at 78%
"[ 78%] Built target TKSTEPBase
make: *** [Makefile:163: all] Error 2

However, I found OCE-Config.cmake so set
$ set OCE_DIR=./BrianP/src/MINGW-packages/mingw-w64-oce/src/oce-
OCE-0.17.2/build-x86_64-w64-mingw32/OCEConfig.cmake
I tried to make Kicad again as per the instructions and got the same
error.
I am pretty much stuck here: I followed the instructions at http://docs.kicad-
pcb.org/doxygen/md_Documentation_development_compiling.html#msys2_easy
exactly and the make fails.
