It is advisable to let pcb produce an initial, empty board. Just call pcb with no argument and do save-as. Use gsch2pcb to add footprints and a netlist to the pcb. The layer stack and sizes gsch2pcb puts into an initial layout are hard coded in the source. By contrast, pcb reads layers and sizes from a user editable config file. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key:http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

'component-library' is indeed a directive for gnetlist (actually
libgeda) but it has nothing to do with _footprints_. Instead it
instructs gnetlist where to look for _symbols_.
You can specify directories for _footprints_ to gsch2pcb either with a
project file as Stefan explained or with the 'elements-dir' parameter
from the command line.
You will need both.

Patrick

If you follow the docs and tutorials, one way is this:
Use program gsch2pcb to convert gschem schematic to initial PCB board.
For this gsch2pcb needs a project text file, i.e something like:
ste...@amd64x2 ~ $ cat /mnt/data/stefan/gEDA/DAD/p1
schematics FPGA_Power.sch FPGA_B0B1.sch FPGA_B2B3.sch RAM.sch ADC.sch TDC.sch
Digital_In_A.sch Digital_In_B.sch Digital_In_C.sch InputDividerCh1.sch
InputDividerCh2.sch AmplifierCh1.sch AmplifierCh2.sch Controller.sch
PowerManager.sch DC_DC_Converter.sch Lin_Regulators.sch Misc.sch AmpCommon.sch
output-name b1
skip-m4
elements-dir /usr/local/share/pcb-symbols-jcl_2008-4-25
elements-dir ../imported-footprints
elements-dir ../gedasymbols.org_salewski_footprints
elements-dir ../custom-footprints
#elements-dir local-footprints
Then I call gsch2pcb this way:
ste...@amd64x2 /mnt/data/stefan/gEDA/DAD $ gsch2pcb p1

gEDA-user: gsch2pcb and pcb, paths to footprints
gsch2pcb:
How can I tell gsch2pcb to search the current directory for footprints?
This
$ cat ~/.gEDA/gnetlistrc
(component-library ".")
(component-library "${HOME}/git/openhw/share/gschem")
did not help.
pcb:
Is there any file where I can specify the paths to footprints?
I tried a lot of things, but the only thing that seems to work is
to specify them on the command line (with --lib-newlib).
***
Also, it seems that you cannot specify the directory in itself, the
programs exspect to find subdirs (used as labels pcb's library window)
where the .fp files are. Is there any way around that?
Regards,
/Karl
