gEDA-user: FWD: Testing request for a binary distribution for the gEDA Suite
[[ Below is a msg I should have also sent to geda-user. Thanks for any feedback. -Ales ]] --- Forwarded Message To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Ales Hvezda [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: gEDA-dev: Testing request for a binary distribution for the gEDA Suite Hi, Over the past few years I've been experimenting and attempting to perfect a universal binary distribution of the gEDA Suite for i386 Linux. I think I finally have something that should work for at least one other person than me. Several points: * Universal means that is should run on any i386 Linux distribution that was released after 2001. * You shouldn't have to install any required gEDA dependencies. You will need at least X installed and configured correctly. * You won't have to build anything and you should be able to just run the programs out-of-the-box. That's the theory at least. * Included is a trivial shell based installer which should work on most people's system. * Note, this binary distribution is highly experimental. I will remove it after a while and eventually replace it with something that should work equally well or better (refactored and with newer versions of the various program included). I'm sending out this e-mail because I would like people to try it out and let me know if it works for you. I do expect there to be quirks here and there, so please report those as well.

(Run: md5sum gedasuite-20080104.tar.bz2 and compare). Included gEDA Suite programs in this experimental binary distribution: - gEDA/gaf PRERELEASE1-1.3.1 This is a complete prerelease of 1.3.1 which is available in the git repository. The real 1.3.1 will be release later this week. - gspiceui 0.8.90 An older version of gspiceui that I happen to have handy. There will be an HTML encoding error when this program is run, but the GUI should come up. No guarantees beyond that (the simulators are not installed). I am including this in this experimental dist since it is written in C++ and has a non-trivial GUI using wxWidgets/GTK. - pcb 20070912 I did notice that the log window and others start up a little small, but pcb should run fine. Also gsch2pcb should work as well. Please test that too. - Other programs will be added if people have some measurable success with the above non-trivial programs. To install: 0) Download gedasuite-20080104.tar.bz2 from the above address. 1) Untar the gedasuite-20080104.tar.bz2 somewhere: cd somewhere tar xvfj gedasuite-20080104.tar.bz2 2) cd gedasuite-20080104 3) ./install.sh 4) Answer the two questions (desired installdir and confirm) 5) cd installdir/bin (or add installdir/bin to your PATH) 6) Run ./gschem or ./pcb or ./gattrib or ./gspiceui or anything else in the bin directory. Please try it out and let me know if any problems running the programs. Thank you, -Ales PS.

Re: gEDA-user: FWD: Testing request for a binary distribution for the gEDA Suite
Hello Ales, this binary distribution runs fine on my lot of years old linux machine (based on Suse 8.1, the first gtk release i ever could try), at least gschem and pcb which i tried !

Re: gEDA-user: KJWaves - new release
Hi Kurt, Good piece of work. Thanks. I have several comments/fearure requests. They may not be useful in general case as the are mostly related to my use patterns. 1. I don't use gui tool for configuring simulation runs. Is there a way to start KJWaves directly in the raw file (or gnucap file) viewer mode? 1a. (just an explanation) For productivity reasons, I usually enter simulation testbenches in a text editor and in this file I include all the necessary model libraries, generated or extracted netlists etc. In case of OS tools I end up entering everything by hand as there are no good schematic editors available (pun intended). 2. vertical stacking of waveform panels 3. keyboard shortcuts in waveform viewer 4. Two cursor and numerical readouts (X, Y, delta, frequency and gradient). 5. savingrestoring the waveform view configuration. 6. better calculator and its interface (entering formulas by hand would do fine and treating them as regular waveforms) 7. there is a number of operations that result in exceptions being thrown (I will try to collect some representative logs and send them to you later) 8. please, remove that big knob from the waveform viewer (what is it for, btw?) The speed (interface only, I haven't tested kjwaves with big waveform files yet) is very good. Installation was flawless - this is a big advantage over gwave. Calculator, although rough around edges, has already proven to be useful. If you could at least resolve points 35 that would make kjwaves useful for my everyday work. Cheers, -r.
