To install as a normal user on unix, you can do % python setup.py install --home=~ This will put all of the files in your home directory. They'll go into ~/bin , ~/share, etc. To run it, you will have to set the environment variable % export PYTHONPATH=~/lib/python or wherever python installed

gEDA-user: Mirroring Gerber exports

Is there a way to mirror a layer for gerber output. I see the mirror feature in exporting to postscript, but not to gerber. The Linux based isolation programs I am trying to work with do not mirror the circuit (back) layer, yet! The goal of the isolation programs is to produce CNC g-code to send

Is there a way to mirror a layer for gerber output. There are no options to mirror gerber output. I'm not sure adding one would be a good idea; one real benefit of gerber is that you don't get confused about whether it's mirrored or not - it's never mirrored. I do have a plugin that will flip

OK, sounds fair. I will give your boardflip a go. Can I just put it in my main PCB source directory.. path2PCB/src/boardflip.c Read the commends in it, for instructions. If you want it to be built-in, you'll have to do a little editing of that file and the Makefile.
