Hello friends,
|
|
|
|
it's time for the next release of Gerber Viewer, aka gerbv,
|
|
the "support broken EagleCad"-release.
|
|
|
|
It has come to my attention that Gerber files generated by
|
|
EagleCad are broken (from my point of view). I have added
|
|
some minor fixes for this. If you don't like these fixes
|
|
you are able to disable them, but they are in by default.
|
|
Just comment out the #define EAGLECAD_KLUDGE in gerber.h.
|
|
|
|
For next release I can almost promise drill file support
|
|
too. I'm not doing the hacking, but I've seen some really
|
|
nice progress.
|
|
|
|
Comments, patches and suggestions are, as always, very welcome.
|
|
|
|
Homepage for gerbv is still http://gerbv.sourceforge.net/
|
|
|
|
To download gerbv goto
|
|
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gerbv/
|
|
and grab gerbv-0.0.4.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
To install the program do
|
|
1. gzip -dc gerbv-0.0.4.tar.gz | tar xf -
|
|
2. cd gerbv-0.0.4
|
|
3. ./configure
|
|
4. make install
|
|
|
|
Interesting configure options are:
|
|
--help : Lists all options
|
|
--disable-batch : Disable compilation of Guile/Scheme backends
|
|
--prefix=<dir> : Install from dir <prefix>
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's new in 0.0.4
|
|
- Support for broken Gerbers generated by EagleCad.
|
|
- Minor reorganisation of source (split out drawing code).
|
|
- Some minor changes on how to calculate single quadrants.
