The git/compile went fine. Using the newly built pcb gets a segfault [ggallant@firefly pcb]$ pcb phm.pcb Something strange here Segmentation fault (core dumped) Some other pcb projects were able to get loaded but their existing polygons did not display. Creating a new rectangle on the empty ground layer segfaults. System is up to date 64-bit Fedora 13. George On 01/17/2011 03:19 PM, Kai-Martin Knaak wrote:

So far I have succeeded by creating the inner shape first and then applying multiple shapes around it. (..snip..) Is there a better technique that lends itself to easy adjustment? The current development version of pcb includes a new feature "polygon holes" :-) See the attached screenshot. To get this version of pcb you'd have to download the current source from git and compile it locally. This page describes how to download the source from the git repository [1]http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:scm?s[]=git Compile is straight forward: /--------------------------------------------- git clone git://git.gpleda.org/pcb.git cd pcb ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-toporouter-output make sudo make install \-------------------------------------------- If you do this for the first time, you most probably have to install some additional packages from your distro. When in doubt, also install the package that contains the header files, too. On debian/testing I recently needed these additional packages for pcb: autogen autopoint intltool (draws autoconf, automake and autotools-dev ) libdbus-1-dev libgtk2.0-dev (draws 15 more packagesh) x-ttcidfont-conf libgd2-xpm-dev Hope, this gets you started. ---<)kaimartin(>--- _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [2]geda-user@moria.seul.org [3]http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user References 1. http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:scm?s 2. mailto:geda-user@moria.seul.org 3. http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
