I get a DEF error in line xx when loading a particular library. Hi, Open the library file in a text editor. Go to the line in question and look for inconsistencies between it and other similar lines. Look underscore charachters and whitespace in names and labels in particular. Then correct any errors. Let us know what you found. David.
[kicad-users] how to redefine default paths and libs
Hello, Im working on several computers (not at the same time) and I want to share my libs and projects via a server. 1. How to redefine the default path for libs and projects that I dont need to redefine each time Im opening a project which has been started on the other computer ? 2. How to redefine the default libs which must be loaded for each project ? The only way Ive found is to define for each project each lib to add with new path thats boring Best Stephane

The problem is in the diy_transformers library. I may have created it when I added a part. What are the rules for part names and labels? Can you hyphenate names? Whitepsace is not allowed???

Hint: jnlp is just an xml file: look into it. Any other idea? Well, if previous hint is not enough: - download the jnlp - download www.freerouting.net/java/help.jnlp - download www.freerouting.net/java/router.jar - download www.freerouting.net/java/jh.jar - edit both jnlp files to reference local files - run javaws freeroute.jnlp Remaining issues: 1) there's still a problem that prevents running the jnlp: 30 seconds to find correct :-) (hint: read javaws messages carefully!) 2) examples need network access 3) when opening your own file, jvm asks for permission (should be fixable in jnlp file, too) 4) IS IT LEGAL? (couldn't find freerouter license around...) At least this is resolved: it IS legal. :-) I can't make it work ! would you please confirm the local references ?? Have you modified the two .jnlp files ?

BYtE, Diego. FWIW I managed to get this to work under WinXP but the 'codebase' value had to be altered from above (I've inserted my version in the code above...). Notice it has the full path to the KiCad binary folder - it will be different for you! Change it to suit your own system. This seems to be necessary as KiCad will only look in it's own 'bin' folder for the freeroute.jnlp file. All the other .jar .jnlp files above must also be in that folder. NOTE: It WILL NOT work if there's a space in the path!! I originally had my KiCad folder under 'program files' and when KiCad tried to call it the path got all messed up and freeroute.jnlp couldn't resolve it. In the help.jnlp file, the same (i,e 'codebase=') line must also be changed (same path) as well as the following: jar href=jh.jar donwload=lazy/ Change to: jar href=jh.jar/ HTH Chris.
