Well, up to you then ;-) What we're planning on doing is running the M4 processor at build time, rather than at run time. Thus, pcb itself only need worry about newlib style footprints. The explicit use of m4 in pcb is a hack; different people prefer different languages (I use perl myself) but the common format is newlib; the Makefiles can run any program they need to to generate them. Plus, m4 isn't readily available on Windows platforms, so moving to newlib makes Windows support easier. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
