Presumably, these static binaries would > run on any Linux system. I've switched to Gentoo Linux which as you probably know is a source based distro, like Freebsd. Gentoo uses a 'ebuild' script for every application and I'm about to have a go at making a Gaf and Pcb 'ebuild' script as only the oregano-0.23-r1 and xcircuit-2.5.5 are available as yet. The good part about it all is that no one need provide binaries, and a gentoo system will auto fetch the source tarball from the home site or mirror and install it. It's as simple as "emerge gaf" :) -- Kind Regards Terry Homemade pcbs using Gnu/LinuX gEDA/PCB page :- http://w3w.arafuraconnect.com.au/~tp/pcbs.html Gnu/Linux/Debian-3.0 Registration Number: 103931 :http//counter.li.org * Free Software provided by GNU; http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html
