gEDA-user: Building PCB so it uses my footprint directory

[Thomas Oldbury]

   Last time I built PCB, I screwed up and made several footprint
   directories and different tools seemed to use different ones.
   Now I want to make certain that it will use the current directory I am
   using: /usr/share/pcb, and not /usr/local/share/pcb. How can I make it
   do this?

IMHO, there is no need to set this at compile time.
You can configure your preferred library path(s) in 
  File - Preferences - Library
As an alternative, you can edit $HOME/.pcb/preferences manually.

If you which to make gnetlist, aka gsch2pcb, use your preferred library
paths, you can set it in the elements-dir line of your project file.

gEDA-user: Building PCB

[Markus Hitter]

Hello all,

first of all, thanks to the people helping me to set polygon  
clearance. This works, at least for small clearances. Clearances  
bigger than about 0.5 mm let pcb die or create very odd results,  
though. As the PCB coming with Ubuntu 10.10 is pretty old, I tried to  
build from source:


$ sudo apt-get install intltool flex libgd2-xpm-dev
$ git clone git://git.gpleda.org/pcb.git pcb
$ cd pcb
$ ./autogen.sh
Checking autopoint version...
./autogen.sh: 18: autopoint: not found

Running autopoint...
./autogen.sh: 33: autopoint: not found
(no configure created here)
$ autoconf  # -- the INSTALL doc says so
configure.ac:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
  If this token and others are legitimate, please use  
m4_pattern_allow.

  See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:8: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
(... and a few more ...)
$ ./configure --prefix=${PWD}/../pcb_Installation --disable-doc
./configure: line 2245: syntax error near unexpected token `1.9'
./configure: line 2245: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(1.9)'
$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.67

As you can see I'm undecided wether to use ./autogen.sh or autoconf.  
Has somebody similar experiences? Perhaps a solution?



Thanks,
Markus

P.S.: Yes, I had the build process working on the previous version of  
Ubuntu, but can't see what's different now.

Run autogen.sh; it runs everything else for you.  Then run configure
with the options you want.

autopoint is in gettext


autopoint is in a seperate package, but other than that, autogen.sh  
worked flawlessly. Thanks.


Next problem is, there is no longer a dbus-1 package. Stuff is  
either in dbus or libdbus-1-3. I'll try to figure that on my own.

Try installing libdbus-1-dev.

gEDA-user: Building pcb shipped with Gentoo-Linux with lesstif GUI

[Stefan Salewski]

There is currently no choice in Gentoo-Linux for selecting lesstif GUI
for pcb, see Gentoo-Buglist

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201512

But it is not too difficult to get lesstif. Just type in the bash shell:

emerge lesstif
export EXTRA_ECONF=--with-gui=lesstif
emerge pcb
