gEDA-bug: [Bug 903709] Re: PCB - no message when file not found

[DJ Delorie <903709@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Because of the way mingw works, printed messages are lost from the sub-
programs.  To diagnose this, open a command window and type (assuming
you've also installed the gschem/gaf package):

  gnetlist -g pcbfwd whatever.sch > junk.txt

Then, junk.txt should have the messages.   It's likely you'll need to
either (1) set one or more environment variables related to guile, or
(2) create zero-length config files as needed to aovid a file-detection
bug in that version of libgeda.  See http://www.delorie.com/pcb/geda-
windows/ for some more installation notes.

Title:
  PCB - no message when file not found

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New
Status in PCB: Printed Circuit Board CAD package:
  New

Bug description:
  I tried two following scenarios:
  - start PCB, menu File-Import Schematic-choose .SCH file
     - black window flashes, nothing happens
     - in the Message Window, message below appears:
        "Can't add rat lines because no netlist is loaded."

  What happened ? Why is my SCH not imported correctly ? Can I see more
  messages in the log ?

  I load .PCB from "schem2pcb" converter:
  - start PCB, menu File-Load Layout
  - :ExecuteFile(file.cmd)
     - nothing happens, no message in the log

  Why did it nothing ? How can I know where is the problem ? I want to
  know what went wrong.

  Testing platform - PCB v20110918, Windows XP
