gEDA-bug: [Bug 698582] Re: gsch2pcb should find PCB paths at runtime

[Peter TB Brett <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

gsch2pcb should definitely be updated to either look for or directly use
pcb to access footprints.

Title:
  gsch2pcb should find PCB paths at runtime

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  At the moment, the paths used by gsch2pcb for accessing PCB footprints are fixed at compile time. This means that if the user installs a new copy of PCB to somewhere else in their path, gsch2pcb would need to be recompiled and reinstalled in order to be able to access the correct footprint libraries.

gsch2pcb should be more intelligent about looking for PCB's installation directory etc. at runtime, in order to avoid this problem.
