I'll see about sending you a hacked up version of this file that will
save out an intermediate file that we can use to get to the bottom of this.
I just reproduced the fault with the test.scm attached earlier by Jeff
VR, and have the following in pkgfile:
"""
PKG_TSSOP-65P-640L1-20N(`TSSOP-65P-640L1-20N',`U101',`unknown')
"""
(""" are just quotations, not in the file).
Running this through m4 manually (pcb-bin: 20050609 - appears a later
package isn't easily installable on Ubuntu), I see m4 keeps adding pin
after pin after pin until I give up watching.
Poking about, it appears that any macro PKG_TSSOP-?????? results in the
same result, incidentally, the same as running PKG_TSSOP() on its own.
Is "-" infact an illegal character in a Macro name - and hence illegal
in a footprint name?
oh, duh. Indeed, it is illegal to pass the above string through m4. A
minus is not allowed in a macro name.
Very short term, just rename the file. Medium term, gsch2pcb should be
modified to not do that or maybe spit out an error message about it.
I guess I need to read through the gsch2pcb sources a bit to really
understand exactly how it works and try to make it more robust.
