--- Comment #9 from Cedric cedric.dewijs@eclipso.eu ---
With wine-6.19, everything is fine for me. I followed your steps. And no complain. Be sure to use a fresh wine prefix.
I still have the problem with the latest git version. What is different between our computers? I did remove my entire .wine directory, and i started both the installer and Kicad in their own directories. During all the actions with the global symbol table, wine did not generate console messages.
I can run wine with trace options, what trace options are helpful?
# pacman -U wine-git-6.19.r0.g7554bd4b41a-1-x86_64.pkg.tar $ rm -rf ~/.wine/ $ wineserver -k $ wineboot $ cd $ wine kicad-5.1.10_1-x86_64.exe $ cd /home/cedric/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/KiCad/bin $ wine kicad.exe
3) Click on file. -> new -> project, uncheck [] create a new directory for the project, and choose a existing directory, and a fun name. 4) Click on "Schematic Layout editor". Now Kicads asks about the global symbol library table. 5) Click OK. Now the error "Cannot copy global symbol library table file" 6) Click OK, Now kicad gives the error "Failed to copy the file ... to ... (error 3: path not found)", see screenshot 7) Kill wine by pressing ctrl-C in the console.
Let's try again: 8) start Kicad again $ wine kicad 9) Click on file. -> new -> project, type filename test3 (the rest is default, including [X] create a new directory for this project) 10) Click on tools -> edit schematic. Now Kicad asks about the global symbol library table, choose de default option (copy default) 11) Click OK. Now the error "Cannot copy global symbol library table file" 12) Click OK, Now kicad gives the error "Failed to copy the file ... to ... (error 3: path not found) 13) Let's find out what's happening in my ~/.config/kicad folder: $ cd ~/.config/ $ ls -l (there's no directory called kicad there) $ mkdir kicad 14) Try to copy the global symbol library table again. The errors are the same.
My versions:(I used the latest git version, as Arch Linux does still carry version 6.16 in their repository) [cedric@cedric bin]$ wine --version wine-6.19 [cedric@cedric bin]$ pacman -Q wine wine-git 6.19.r0.g7554bd4b41a-1 [cedric@cedric bin]$ uname -a Linux cedric 5.14.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun, 26 Sep 2021 19:36:15 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
