Hi, I have to design an audio amplifier that can deliver 100Amps. It should work around 50Hz, and the maximum output power shall be 500W. I am currently reading articles about this topic, but it is very hard to find things like this. If someone has some experience with, or some documentation

gEDA-user: building gEDA for cygwin

2009-05-20 Thread Alberto Maccioni
Has anyone been able to compile gEDA v1.4.3 with cygwin? I can only build 1.4.2, but not 1.4.1 What about v1.5.x? It needs GTK 2.8 but unfortynately cygwin only has 2.6 ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mail
