Hi!
For the last few days, I'm unable to compile (or rather, to link) gEDA
from git (it used to work). The error is:
gcc -Wall -g -O2 -o gschem a_pan.o a_zoom.o g_funcs.o g_hook.o
g_keys.o g_rc.o g_register.o globals.o gschem.o gschem_cairo.o
gschem_dialog.o gschem_toplevel.o i_basic.o
Hi Al --
The issue isn't, is geda or kicad technologically competitive
tools, the issue is can users move designs back and forth
from the established eda tools and the free tools?
If you answer yes then you reduce the risk of the users if
you answer no then the safe action of the users is

This is a chicken and egg problem.

These are importers, but you were talking about exporters before. But
yes, there's more support for interoperabilty than I knew about.

What I have been talking about is interoperability.
How users can share projects even though they use different tools.
GEDAs lack of exporting and importing limits the projects that a
consultant can use it for. PCB's lack of exporting the pads ASCII makes
it more difficult for assembly shops to

Me too, but we differ on what kind of interoperability is important.

I work with customers who either do their own layouts
Specifically, exporting netlists to just about any other tool
is a radical strength.
That's a *specific* problem, of narrow interest

John,
If there exist two tools each that can import from the other then they
can communicate.
If person A can only speak German but can understand French and Germen.
And person B can only speak French but can understand French and German
then they can talk just fine.

OK, so part of the problem from your perspective is that the
commercial tools don't support their side of this deal with gEDA. ;-)
