Re: [Pcb2gcode-devel] Online pcb2gcode

[Patrick B. <pbi...@us...>]

Hi Peter,

I think that's a great idea! Like you said, pcb2gcode doesn't work
under OS X (I have no Mac, hence can't fix it) and Windows (no
libgerbv), so it'd be super great to have an online version to
compensate for that and offer an easy possibility to try the program.

There's that little server I've been tinkering with for fun; it's
only a Athlon II dual core, but that should be enough for now. I can
switch to apache+php, install pcb2gcode and give you ssh or ftp access
before new-year if you want.
(I also know someone who's setting up another quad core server; maybe we
can get some of the unneeded processing power there if needed. Great
excuse to play with distributed computing, maybe I can even use it for
some term paper or whatnot)

The interface looks very nice, btw.
