Hi! The first version of pcb-gpmi is finished. It contains a host lib, which can be loaded in pcb without recompiling pcb and an example guest lib. The host lib is able to load any amount of guest libs. Each guest lib then can register itself as a HID.
The example guest lib is a board summary exporter which generates a text file with some info that may help calculating the price of manufacturing. Currently only number of holes are printed (the code was copied from report.c), later board extents and number of layers should be in the file as well. The next step is to develope a real guest library, a plugin system that can load scripts using GPMI. This project aims to provide scriptable tools for pcb as a separate project. This means pcb itself won't have new dependencies and the user should be able to use this project without recompiling pcb (or even without having to install the source of pcb). This release is a pilot release to see how pcb users/developers like it.

With the current version of pcb this was the only way I could make it load without having to patch pcb. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
