Re: gEDA-user: gnetlist in a Makefile



Hello Carlos,

the patch works fine. Thank's for your work.

the makefile shrinks to: 

# start simulator
test4: test4.cir
	ngspice  test4.cir

# create spice netlist
test4.cir : test4.sch
	gnetlist -q -g drc2 test4.sch -o test4.drc
	gnetlist -q -g spice-sdb test4.sch -o test4.cir

I personally think, you should separate the function quiet mode (gnetlist -q) 
and error code one in case of warning. Sometime in the future, one user will 
come up with the request: I want to use gnetlist in a script with quiet mode 
but need to stop when a warning appears .....

It's up to you. I can use it like it is today.
