Re: gEDA-user: Question on gschem2pcb

[Jacques-Charles Lafoucriere <jc.lafoucriere@cea.fr>]

I have looked at the m4 .inc files and I have found a solution. 
I was not using the good names for footprints
To have a PLCC 68 the name is "PLCC_SOCKET 68 150"
To have a  Wide DIL 28 (for 32K memory) the name is "DIL 28 600"

The last argument is in the first case the border size between the "hole"
and the socket side and 
in the second case it is the distance between the holes cols (the "wide"
parameter)

I do not know if it is the good way to use the librarie (the last argument
should be hiden by a macro) but it works

Thank you for your help
