gEDA-bug: [Bug 904633] Re: schdiff via git doesn't show any components

[John Ottesen <904633@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hacked around with the schdiff file and found that /tmp was not the
real problem.  Instead, it turns out that git does not respect the cwd
(search for this on the web).  It moves it's cwd to the top of the git
tree and then opens the schematics form that cwd. The schematics files
can be in /tmp.

If you make links to your gafrc and any local symbol directory at the
top of the git tree, then it should work. Worked for me.

There might be a better solution using git...

Title:
  schdiff via git doesn't show any components

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When running schdiff on a schematic that doesn't use embedded symbols,
  gschem reports not being able to find symbols and the resulting
  difference image does not contain any components.  For example, in the
  gEDA git tree:

    git difftool schdiff 0e506ebd5d5c..11f91c04a33e --
  examples/TwoStageAmp/TwoStageAmp.sch

  This is because git stores the diff candidate files in /tmp/, away
  from the project configuration files that set up the component
  library.
