Re: gEDA-user: How to get pcb from gschem?

Dear sir,

I look at the web and i connect the circuit and set the footprint according to the example, it fails:

[root@localhost bin]# ./gschem2pcb /home/kevin/example/example.sch

I install the pcb and gEDA by default setting, it means that i have nothing special suring the installation. I make most of the web did, for example the making of directories and copying the gschemrc to gnetlistrc. HeHe!!! Since i found that there is the maxim library in gschem so i don't create the component by myself. I can find the common.m4 in the /usr/local/share/pcb/ and gnet-PCBboard.scm in /usr/local/share/gEDA/scheme. I haven't anything do of them since i don't understand the reason to do so. (PCB-1.99n is installed, note that).

---common.m4------
include(pci.inc)
include(geda.inc)
include(smt.inc)
include(genericsmt.inc)
include(local.inc)
include(rules.inc)
include(connector.inc)
include(dil.inc)
include(misc.inc)
include(plcc.inc)
include(to.inc)
include(qfp.inc)
include(qfp2.inc)
include(zif.inc)

# Add myself
sinclude(site-config.inc)
sinclude(usr-config.inc)
sinclude(proj-config.inc)

---gnet-PCBboard---
(define *m4-pcbdir* "/usr/local/share/pcb/m4")

;; To emulate popen. Guileish again.
; Needed after guile ver. 1.3.2. To save 1.3a users, wrap it in.
(false-if-exception (use-modules (ice-9 popen)))

(define (PCBboard output-filename)
(let ((port (open-output-file output-filename)))
(PCBboard:write-top-header port)
(close-port port))
;; pipe with the macro define in pcb program
;; (let ((pipe (open-output-pipe (string-append "m4 " *m4-pcbdir* "/common.m4 - | sed '/^PKG/d' - >> " output-filename))))
;; leave the packages that have not been found in the file.pcb
;; will be process in the script gschem2pcb
;; Original pipe command commented out by AVH (bugfix by Rich Walker)
;; (let ((pipe (open-output-pipe (string-append "m4 " *m4-pcbdir* "/common.m4 - >> " output-filename))))
;; Fixed pipe command (AVH 1/27/02)
(let ((pipe (open-output-pipe (string-append "m4 -d -I" *m4-pcbdir* " " *m4-pcbdir* "/common.m4 - >> " output-filename))))


;; packages is a list with the different uref value
(PCBboard:write-value-footprint pipe packages)
(close-pipe pipe))
(let ((port (open output-filename (logior O_WRONLY O_APPEND))))
(PCBboard:write-bottom-footer port)
close-port port))










What am I miss to do? Would anyone tell me the complete the process? I ask about i so long and I hope i can finish it as soon as possible!



Thanks a lot

you may want to look at:

http://www-mtl.mit.edu/~mcmahill/PCB/gEDA-PCB.html

but note that everywhere where it says 'uref' you should use 'refdes'
