Re: gEDA-user: [Fwd: Re: Gerbv-2.0.1 for Windows released, but not working!]

[Rick Collins <gnuarm.2007@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have had trouble getting any of the features of this tool to work and I figured that I just needed to read the manual.  But I can't find the manual...  Is there a manual? 

I still can't get the project save/open to do anything.  I load the saved project and then "reload layers" and still nothing. 

I don't know how to begin doing anything with this tool.  I can load a Gerber file, but that is about it.  I can't find any info on the XYRS capability.  I don't even know what it does...

I installed the recent version and it is about the same as the others I have. Was there something in particular I should look for?

There is a good chance I fixed that just recently.  It does seem to work
now.  There was some code that was "#ifndef MINGW32"-ed out with a
comment about it needing some function that wasn't there with gtk-2.4 on
windows.  I removed the #ifndef since 2.4 is way out of date.  It was in
the ruler part of the code.  Also I did try the ruler this week and it
seems to work with cvs code.

So, hopefully 2.1.0 will work right for you.
