gEDA-user: gsch2pcb cannot find components
I accidently deleted the answer to this e-mail so I will resend the
original file.
I recheck the directory file name etc. and is OK. The strange thing that
I don't understand is that if load the schematic finds all the parts I
assume that the components that can't find are the .sym since it is the
netlist that can't find them.
Hello,
I am reusing a schematic which I have already made a PC board with it
while back now I want to make some modification without disturbing the
previous one, so I made a new directory made the necessary modifications
and try to generate the PCB file in the usual way. The gsch2pcb does not
find the components the project file is the same I used before, here is
the output
[Vinny@HP1 T14511_1]$ gsch2pcb project
usage: gsch2pcb [options] {project | foo.sch [foo1.sch ...]}
Generate a PCB layout file from a set of gschem schematics.
gnetlist -g PCB is run to generate foo.net from the schematics.
gnetlist -g gsch2pcb is run to get PCB m4 derived elements which
match schematic footprints. For schematic footprints which don't
match
any PCB m4 layout elements, search a set of file element directories
in
an attempt to find matching PCB file elements.
Output to foo.pcb if it doesn't exist. If there is a current
foo.pcb,
output only new elements to foo.new.pcb.
If any elements with a non-empty element name in the current foo.pcb
have no matching schematic component, then remove those elements from
foo.pcb and rename foo.pcb to a foo.pcb.bak sequence.
gnetlist -g pcbpins is run to get a PCB actions file which will
rename all
of the pins in a .pcb file to match pin names from the schematic.
"project" is a file (not ending in .sch) containing a list of
schematics to process and some options. A schematics line is like:
schematics foo1.sch foo2.sch ...
Options in a project file are like command line args without the "-":
output-name myproject
options (may be included in a project file):
-d, --elements-dir D Search D for PCB file elements. These defaults
are searched if they exist: ./packages,
/usr/local/share/pcb/newlib, /usr/share/pcb/newlib,
(old
pcb) /usr/local/lib/pcb_lib, /usr/lib/pcb_lib,
(old pcb) /usr/local/pcb_lib
-o, --output-name N Use output file names N.net, N.pcb, and
N.new.pcb
instead of foo.net, ... where foo is the
basename
of the first command line .sch file.
-f, --use-files Force using file elements over m4 PCB elements
for new footprints even though m4 elements are
searched for first and may have been found.
-r, --remove-unfound Don't include references to unfound elements in
the generated .pcb files. Use if you want PCB
to
be able to load the (incomplete) .pcb file.
This is the default behavior.
-k, --keep-unfound Keep include references to unfound elements in
the generated .pcb files. Use if you want to
hand
edit or otherwise preprocess the generated .pcb
file
before running pcb.
-p, --preserve Preserve elements in PCB files which are not
found
in the schematics. Note that elements with an
empty
element name (schematic refdes) are never
deleted,
so you really shouldn't need this option.
-q, --quiet Don't tell the user what to do next after
running gsch2pcb.
-s, --skip-m4 Skip m4 when looking for footprints. The
default is to use
m4 (which is what previous versions did).
--m4-file F.inc Use m4 file F.inc in addition to the default m4
files ./pcb.inc and ~/.pcb/pcb.inc.
--m4-pcbdir D Use D as the PCB m4 files install directory
instead of the default:
/usr/share/pcb/pcb/m4
--gnetlist backend A convenience run of extra gnetlist -g
commands.
Example: gnetlist partslist3
Creates: myproject.partslist3
--gnetlist-arg arg Allows additional arguments to be passed to
gnetlist.
--empty-footprint name See the project.sample file.
options (not recognized in a project file):
--fix-elements If a schematic component footprint is not equal
to its PCB element Description, update the
Description instead of replacing the element.
Do this the first time gsch2pcb is used with
PCB files originally created with gschem2pcb.
-v, --verbose Use -v -v for additional file element
debugging.
-V, --version
environment variables:
GNETLIST If set, this specifies the name of the gnetlist
program
to execute.

Then I found that if load the schematic from the menu
"Applications/electronics/ ..." all components are properly loaded, but
if I login the working directory and run "gschem T14511.sch" it loads
the schematic without components I also ran "gnetlist T14511.sch" this
is the result:
[Vinny@HP1 T14511_1]$ gnetlist T14511.sch

Can any body help? Thank you in advance. Vinny
