gEDA-dev: pcb/cygwin

[Bert Timmerman]

Hi Dan and all,

And after being called in for having dinner, and putting the kids to bed, I
ran ./pcbtest and didn't get the message: "Share installation path is...".

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.

Hi Dan,

I did a fresh check out of pcb.

./configure ran without any problems.

make did the usual things and I went to make a fresh cup of coffee (or two)
when I saw it hitting the pcblib-newlib script.

On a P4 3GHz 1Gb and 80GB available disk space it took about 68 minutes to
build, andit stumbled on the puller.png (I forgot the maintainer mode again
;-).

Now for people with older hardware this is certain a job to run at night,
while you're sleeping.

I noticed a couple of things on which I would like to make some remarks.

1) I think now is the time to reconsider "light versus heavy footprints", by
this I mean: should all values of the 0.25W resistors be available as heavy
footprints ?

2) Some, but not all, footprints seem to have tabs between parameters in the
pin/pad definitions, for instance: all amphenol footprints.

3) the amp and bourns footprints (and maybe others I didn't check) have a
lot of comment lines in the beginning of the footprint file, and also
between the lines.

4) I think adding another search path for newlib style footprints is not a
Good Thing (TM), is there a reason for not adding the generated M4
footprints to the newlib directory.

Just my EUR 0.01.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.

P.S.: Starting of now, when I reach EUR 10.00 I will donate this amount to
gedaconsulting.com

Can someone who uses cygwin and the gtk hid (not mingw or cygwin compiling
with -mno-cygwin) see if the latest pcb in cvs still builds and works
correctly for them?

Also when you first run pcb, do you get a message about "Share installation
path is..."?

Thanks
-Dan
