Re: gEDA-user: Embedded polygon

   The git/compile went fine. Using the newly built pcb gets a segfault
   [ggallant@firefly pcb]$ pcb phm.pcb
   Something strange here
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)
   Some other pcb projects were able to get loaded but their existing
   polygons
   did not display. Creating a new rectangle on the empty ground layer
   segfaults.
   System is up to date 64-bit Fedora 13.

I would like to embed a polygon within a polygon keeping

Is there a better technique that lends itself to easy adjustment?

The current development version of pcb includes a new feature
"polygon holes" :-)

See the attached screenshot.

To get this version of pcb you'd have to download the current source from
git and compile it locally. This page describes how to download the source
from the git repository
[1]http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:scm?s[]=git

Compile is straight forward:
/---------------------------------------------
git clone git://git.gpleda.org/pcb.git
cd pcb
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-toporouter-output
make
sudo make install
\--------------------------------------------

If you do this for the first time, you most probably have to install
some additional packages from your distro. When in doubt, also install
the package that contains the header files, too.

On debian/testing I recently needed these additional packages for pcb:
        autogen
        autopoint
        intltool (draws autoconf, automake and autotools-dev )
        libdbus-1-dev
        libgtk2.0-dev (draws 15 more packagesh)
        x-ttcidfont-conf
        libgd2-xpm-dev

Hope, this gets you started.
