Just tried the gschem--gsch2pcb--pcb work-flow on winXP with a small, but real world project. There were some show-stoppers:
* gsch2pcb crashed with backtrace unless m4 is explicitly disabled with --skip-m4 . Unfortunately, WinXP does not allow to copy/paste in the CMD-window. So I put a screenshot to this URL: http://lilalaser.de/tmp/errormessage_m4.pdf * If pcb is run without an argument, the default font was reported to be found, but seemingly not loaded. A save did not contain the usual alphabet of letters. These were the lines emitted in the log window: /-------------------- Looking for default_font in . Can't open .\default_font for reading Looking for default_font in c:\programme\geda\bin\..\share\pcb Found default_font in c:\programme\geda\bin\..\share\pcb File 'C:\Programme\gEDA\Projekte\Schrittmotor\steuerung.pcb' has no font information, using default font Looking for default_font in .

Feel free to provide patches \--------------- * gsch2pcb produced no useful foobar.new.pcb The file contained footprint names rather than element commands.
