I've done a little bit of experimentation but not found much.
I have all the footprints in ./packages, all the symbols in ./symbols
and a local gafrc with (component-library ./symbols) in it.
If I move the packages directory gsch2pcb complains about missing
footprints, so it's finding them. If I

Yep - windows doesn't have a bash type shell - so that won't work.
Are there other circumstances, where pcb might want to run a shell script?

Hi Peter.
We just tried to do a gschem-gsch2pcb-pcb work flow with a small but real
world project:

Does gsch2pcb generate a valid pcb file for you? I get a file with these
kind of lines in (and no elements):
PKG_0603.fp(0603.fp,C8,4.7u)
PKG_0603.fp(0603.fp,R49,8K2)
PKG_0603.fp(0603.fp,R48,470)
No error messages from gsch2pcb. All my footprints are in ./packages .

Just tried the gschem--gsch2pcb--pcb work-flow on winXP with a small, but
