Re: gEDA-user: About vbpp and vbs status

[Udi Finkelstein <geda@xxxxxxxx>]

   I haven't tracked VBPP recently, but as for VBS, may I ask *why* do you
   want it?
   Icarus Verilog is way more advanced and actively developed.
   VBS was developed more than 10 years ago (before Icarus), but it was
   Jimen Ching's University graduation project and AFAIK it wasn't
   maintained much afterwards.
   I have contributed a few patches to VBS but that was really >10 years
   ago.
   Looking at some of the social sites it seems that Jimen Ching is no
   longer focused on Engineering or software these days.

     Hello,
     I recently tried to upgrade vbpp and vbs in MacPorts [1], I had
     issues
     as their original homepage [2], by Jimen Ching, doesn't exist
     anymore.
     vbpp has got an update from [3] and its tarball is available but I
     couldn't find any source for vbs other than this old gEDA website
     mirror [4].
     On current gEDA website vbs isn't listed while it is in the site
     mirror from '08.
     I had issues with C++ classes scope, I patched the first then I
     realized something is wrong from the ground, maybe the compiler has
     changed a little too much from year 2000.
     The actual error I'm having is:
     /usr/bin/g++-4.2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -pipe -O2 -arch x86_64
     -ansi
     -pedantic -Wall -fPIC -c ./common/st_func.cc

     && /usr/bin/make -w vbs " returned error 2
     Is vbs part of the gEDA suite nowadays?
     Are these two tools reported being working with current gcc
     versions?
