Hi Dick, I will look at it this weekend and see what I can come up with to make life even easier than it is now (I think cmake is already a great system). I don't really see much problem in automating the process though, all the facilities are there to do it in cmake. It would be nice to give something back, it's been a long while since I've done any patches or anything and I have used KiCad a lot for both commercial and non-commercial boards. :) Best Regards, Brian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
