Viktor Vaczi 5b919ef66f Add ccache and incremental build system for faster development 
- Add ccache to Docker image for compiled object caching
- Change build defaults: incremental by default, skip deps by default
- Add new flags: --full, --clean-kicad, --build-deps
- Skip wxWidgets configure if already configured (check Makefile timestamps)
- Remove unused source hash stamp functions (make handles dependencies)
- Update build.md with new build system documentation

Performance improvements:
- Single file change: 7:35 → 1:34 (4.8x faster)
- No-change rebuild: 7:35 → 1:31 (5x faster)
- Asyncify post-processing (~1 min) is now the bottleneck

Docker Build Environment for KiCad WASM

This directory contains Docker configuration for building KiCad for WebAssembly in a reproducible, isolated environment.

Prerequisites

  • Docker Desktop (with Docker Compose v2)
  • Git submodules initialized: git submodule update --init --recursive

Quick Start

# Build KiCad WASM (full build)
./docker/build.sh

# Build with options
./docker/build.sh --no-clean    # Skip cleaning build directory
./docker/build.sh --debug       # Build with debug symbols

# Interactive shell for debugging
./docker/shell.sh

What Gets Built

The build process includes:

  1. Dependencies (cached in Docker volume):

    • GLM (header-only)
    • Zstd, Protobuf
    • FreeType, HarfBuzz
    • Pixman, Cairo
    • Boost (Locale)
    • OpenCASCADE (optional, for 3D/STEP)
    • CURL headers, libgit2 headers (stubs)

  2. wxWidgets (built from submodule)

  3. KiCad PCBnew (main application)

Container Resources

Configured for M4 Max (adjust in docker-compose.yml):

  • CPUs: 10 cores
  • Memory: 16GB

Volume Strategy

Path Type Purpose
/workspace Bind mount Source code
/workspace/build-wasm Named volume Build cache (deps, sysroot)
/workspace/output Bind mount Final WASM output

Common Commands

# Start container
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

# Run a command inside
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml exec kicad-wasm-builder <command>

# View logs
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml logs -f

# Stop container
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down

# Clear build cache (full rebuild)
docker volume rm docker_kicad-build-cache

Troubleshooting

Build freezes

The OpenCASCADE build is very resource-intensive. If it freezes:

  1. Reduce parallel jobs: Edit script to use -j4 instead of -j$(nproc)
  2. Monitor with docker stats
  3. Consider building OpenCASCADE separately with ./scripts/deps/build-opencascade.sh

Permission issues

Files created in container are owned by root. To fix:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) output/

Cache issues

# Clear all cached builds
docker volume rm docker_kicad-build-cache

# Or clear specific stamps inside container
./docker/shell.sh
rm /workspace/build-wasm/stamps/*.stamp
