It depends. Rebuilding only the library should work when upgrading it to a newer version, but it is not guaranteed to work when downgrading. How exactly do they all related to each other during the build process? Configure scripts in later packages look for dependencies (header files and import libraries) installed earlier. They check these libraries for the existence of symbols to be linked with. A new version of a library may have symbols not present in earlier versions of the same library. This can possibly cause a missing symbol error when downgrading the library. On the other hand, library upgrades do not usually remove symbols, so it is OK to simply drop an upgraded version. When the library either remove symbols or changes their semantics, it should change its own installed file name by incrementing a version number, so conflicts do not arise. By following these guidelines, the so called DLL hell can be avoided entirely.

gEDA-user: Rule-based assignment of default attributes
Hi, I just thought about a way to have defaults for footprint assignments and such, while keeping it easy to change them project-wide, and at the same time keeping local customizations. How about having a text file, with rules like: match device=RESISTOR assign footprint=1206 Then, any resistor without a footprint attribute will be a 1206 by default. Resistors with attributes assigned manually will not be touched. Note that I'm not adding attributes to the symbols, just providing defaults. Then, to change the default, project-wide, just modify one line in the rules file. A more advanced example, which assumes you singled-out all decoupling capacitors by adding an extra attribute: match device=CAPACITOR, function=DECOUPLING assign footprint=1206, value=100n, part=manufacturer part number You get the idea. For single-file schematic projects, you could avoid having to ship one extra file by embedding it in the schematic somehow. A benefit, as I see it, is that you keep fewer attributes hardcoded in the schematic, fostering reuse. I do mean to code it myself if nobody else does. Just don't hold your breath (I've been meaning to add tabbed pages to gschem since 2006, and I didn't even get around to start coding).

Yes, gschem on cygwin as well.
I think it's a bug in Cygwin/X multi-window mode, triggered by new code
in gschem that restores the dialog positions.
The attached patch contains a workaround: show the dialog before
restoring its position.
The patch is also available in the patch tracker:

Subject: [PATCH] Fix for dialogs drifting downwards on Cygwin/X.
On Cygwin/X, reopening a gschem dialog restores its original position,
but with a small vertical offset.
The workaround is to show the dialog before restoring its position.
The docs for gtk_window_move() offer a possible justification:
Most window managers ignore requests for initial window positions
(instead using a user-defined placement algorithm) and honor requests
after the window has already been shown.
The downside is, if you have a slow system, you could see the dialog
appear briefly at the old position, I suppose.

gEDA-user: Re: Windows install
David Kerber wrote: I'm a newbie to gEDA, and was wondering if anybody knows of a Windows installation for it? I know there's no officially supported one, but am hoping somebody has built one, or knows where there might be one. A google search turned up one from 2003, but nothing since. Hi, David Sorry, I don't know of any Windows version which is less that one year old. You would miss many new features, as well as many important software fixes. However, I am currently preparing an up-to-date Cygwin version, which will be installed with the Cygwin Setup program. If you are not familiar with Cygwin (www.cygwin.com), it is a collection of Linux software which runs on Windows thanks to a special software layer. I hope my Cygwin version of gEDA, when ready, will be part of that collection, if the Cygwin folks accept it. I also hope I can keep up so it doesn't become obsolete as well. On the other hand, with some basic Linux skills, you can compile a Cygwin version yourself right now, by following the instructions at http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:cygwin Regards, Cesar ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Ah, guile-config link and guile-config info both reveal the /home/janneke/ stuff. I can confirm this strange new behavior of guile-config on Cygwin. It's been a while since I built the Cygwin port of gEDA/gaf, I assume the Cygwin guile package has broken since then. Google tells me that there's a newer version of the guile stuff at http://lilypond.org, but that connection to cygwin's setup is broken and the official cygwin mirrors don't have the new version yet. I suggest installing an old known good package of guile instead, until the Cygwin guile maintainer uploads a corrected package to the main repository. so, the hell with it. Please, do not give up yet ;-) The Cygwin setup program allows to install an older version of a package. Please do the following: 1) Run setup.exe and click on your favorite mirror. See to it that lilypond server is *not* selected. 2) In the package selection dialog, click on the view button once to bring the Full view 3) Look for the guile and guile-devel packages 4) Starting with the guile-devel package (the order is important), click on the arrows beside the version number, until the old version appears (1.6.7-4) 5) Do the same with the guile package 6) Press the view button again to bring the Partial view 7) Verify that both guile and guile-devel are listed, showing the old version number (1.6.7-4). If not, repeat from step 2. 8) When you next update Cygwin, the setup program will want to upgrade the guile packages again. To keep the old version, bring the Partial view and click on the arrows until you see the word keep. I am sure the Cygwin guile maintainer will correct this packaging error eventually. From what I gather from the Cygwin list archives, he is already aware of the situation.
