Re: gEDA-user: gsch2pcb output looks wrong
I noticed that all the footprints were coming from the m4 processor. I did a --help, saw that -s suppressed m4 processing, ran it again with fresh files, and suddenly the whole file loads and disperse all actually has something to disperse. Sorry about the previous bandwidth consumption! Now on to the rats net!

Some of the footprint attributes in mini_ROV.pcb contain a trailing ".fp". Looks like this confuses gsch2pcb. Seems this is an incarnation of the infamous, long standing hyphen-in-footprint-calls-m4-bug. This bug makes gsch2pcb produce garbage so that pcb chokes and fails. Unfortunately, symptoms of failure vary from instant segfault to almost, but not quite ok. This bug was recently fixed at least for hyphens. What version of gschem/gnetlist do you use? Try to get rid of all the ".fp" in footprint attributes. The easiest way might be a search and replace session with an editor. Hope, that helps. If it helps, file a bug report, please. The workflow certainly should not break like this if footprint names contain a period. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: k...@familieknaak.de Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: gsch2pcb output looks wrong
I have fixed up the schematic with the help from above, but when I try to transfer it to pcb, the element groups have almost nothing in the open line (which is usually a parentheses rather than square braces) and the item name, value, etc at at the bottom inside a trailing parentheses. I have attached the circuit schematic and the output from gsch2pcb. I also tried using Xgsch2pcb, but it never seemed to actually convert the schematic. The 2009 version of pcb has a file command for import schematics, but clicking nothing seems to happen. I do not see where you are supposed to identify which schematics to enter. I also tried loading the 2010 version of pcb to see if that fixed whatever the problem is, but I can't get past the ./configure. It hangs looking for GD library, which does not seem to be available on the net anymore. Is there any other way to load the most recent version without gdlib-config? And how do I tell what version of pcb I am running. The Window/About gives the date (version 20091103), but the header from gsch2pcb says pcb 1.99x?
