Greetings friends, it's time for the next release of Gerber Viewer, aka gerbv, the "now-it-installs"-release. No news regarding bugs etc, this release is only to announce that the complete build system is in place. To see more exact what has been done, see 'What's new in 0.0.2' below. Next step will be to remove the most nagging things, like draw multi quadrant arcs, send along the filename of the parsed file to the Scheme backend and other small things before starting to add things. Homepage for gerbv is still http://gerbv.sourceforge.net/ To download gerbv goto http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gerbv/ and grab gerbv-0.0.2.tar.gz To install the program do 1. gzip -dc gerbv-0.0.2.tar.gz | tar xf - 2. cd gerbv-0.0.2 3. ./configure 4. make install Interesting configure options are: --help : Lists all options --disable-batch : Disable compilation of Guile/Scheme backends --prefix= : Install from dir What's new in 0.0.2 - Automake in use, so now the build system is "complete" - make install, make uninstall etc works - gerbv --batch= now searches local directory, $HOME/.gerbv/scheme and ${prefix}/share/gerbv/scheme until it finds a valid backend, ie gerb-.scm. - backends moved from src to scheme in tarball - Version flag changed from -v to -V - Fixed 64-bit build problems thanks to patches from Dan He also fixed some other build problems.
