Indeed, the M4 -> newlib conversion is really rather broken in terms of naming. Many actually clash (look for things like "300.fp" etc.. for examples of bad naming). The file-name above reflects the M4 macro invoked for that package. 74595_dil expands by calling "N 16 30", presumably a 16 pin 300 mil wide footprint. I'm not sure why the macro is called "N". I strongly suggest that no-one actually use the converted M4->newlib output, and actually use the M4 ones (at least until the naming is sorted out). -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
