gEDA-user: Strange gsch2pcb error
Hey all, I've been working on a data acquisition board using the geda toolchain exclusively and so far I have been quite pleased with the results. Unfortunately, a few days ago gsch2pcb inexplicably stopped working. In particular, it appears that m4 fails with the following, $ make pcb gsch2pcb -v project | tee pcb.log Loading schematic [/home/ben/lori/beagle-daq/beagle-daq.sch] Loading schematic [/home/ben/lori/beagle-daq/beagle-daq.sch] /usr/bin/m4:stdin:45: bad expression in eval: /2 If I kill the gsch2pcb process with Ctrl+\ I can see the command line arguments of the failing process, /usr/bin/m4 -d -I/usr/share/pcb/m4 -I/usr/etc/pcb -I$HOME/.pcb -I. /usr/share/pcb/m4/common.m4 - beagle-daq.new.pcb I have no idea what might have prompted this behavior and thankfully the design is pretty much finished, but I would like to know what might be wrong. I am using both gaf and pcb from git, although I have tested versions back to 1.6.2 with no change in behavior. The project is available through git at [1]. I am thoroughly perplexed and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Good question. This was done long ago. On this note, what is the recommended file naming convention for footprints? Do you use the .fp extension? You can get away with it (I think), if you don't use any (actual) M4 symbols, and you pass the --skip-m4 option to gnetlist, or put skip-m4 inside the project file. I'll just fix the directory name. Should I just move the contents of packages/m4 to packages/newlib (or perhaps just packages/)?
