Actually, gsymcheck stop processing symbols if it doesn't find a
symbol, but this error goes into the gsymcheck.log file. Example:
% gsymcheck connections1.sym BAD.sym nets.sym
gEDA/gsymcheck version 20050820

(no error message). But the log file contains:
% cat gsymcheck.log
...
Could not open [/home/ahvezda/private/gEDAsandbox/geda2/devel/gsymcheck/tests/BA
D.sym]
Exiting...
I do ack that this isn't particularly obvious. To change this behavior,
look at the file gsymcheck/src/gsymcheck.c around line 120 and modify
the code to be something like:
if (stat(filename, &buf) != 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Could not open [%s]\n", filename);
fprintf(stderr, "Exiting...\n");
exit(2); /* error */
} else {
if (verbose_mode) {
s_log_message("Loading file [%s]\n", filename);
}
...
If somebody provides a patch which does something a bit more obvious, I
would be willing to change this mostly silent error behavior.
