Re: gEDA-user: gnetlist in a Makefile

That won't work.  Peter's problem is a toughie.

The problem is that gnetlist doesn't return an error code to the shell
based upon its success in netlisting.  Therefore, your suggestion
won't work.

My thought is to do something like this:

$(objects).cir: $(objects).sch $(objects).spc
        gnetlist -g drc2 $(objects).sch -o $(objects).drc
	if [-z [grep ERROR $(objects).drc]]; then  \
          gnetlist -g spice-sdb $(objects).sch  -o $(objects).cir \
	else \
	  echo "Failed DRC test!" \
	fi

I haven't tested this and my bash skills are terrible, but if you play
around with this you might get somewhere. . . .
