Hi, after some debugging I found the error: One of my m4 fooprints ended on the following line:
ElementLine [-7186 7283 7186 7283 800]) Note that the paren ')' terminating the element does not come on its own line. Now the parser in 'add_elements' overlooks the trailing paren, since the line was already processed via pcb_element_line_parse(). Since it is in 'skipping' mode, it will then consume all of the rest of the file, looking for another matching paren ')'. On the other hand, if the board.pcb file didn't initially exist, add_elements() will still fail to parse all elements, but these will later be added via prune_elements() if I understand correctly. Since prune_elements() doesn't depend on the skipping mode when no initial board.pcb file was present, the bad paren doesn't pose a problem. So whose error is it now? :) Actually to be really safe, gsch2pcb would have to use the same file parser as 'pcb'. Currently, even comment lines with '#' containtaining non-balanced parens will pose a problem to gsch2pcb. I corrected my footprint and for now gsch2pcb seems to work ok (still dind't check the result in details, though). cheers, David -- GnuPG public key: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~dvdkhlng/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
