[Pcb2gcode-devel] Build question

[Alan R. <al...@sf...>]

I'm no Linux star but I'm not a rookie either.

I've downloaded the Gerbv source .. compiled .. runs fine.

Then I downloaded the pcb2gcode source.

CONFIGURE required a few added bits .. YAST fixed that for me.
MAKE ran without issue
MAKE INSTALL (as root) seemed to run fine, with no errors reported.

But pcb2gcode is not found in /usr/local/bin .. or anywhere else for that matter.

MAN pages were installed, but no binary.

Not quite sure what I should do next .. "nothing broken, just doesn't work" ...

Any thoughts appreciated.

  There is NOTHING -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing 
  as simply messing about in boats.

Let's see whether I can reproduce this.
What distro are you using? openSuse? 12.1? 32/64Bit?

I can replicate this, although my copy came from a cloned git repo 
rather than a tarball.

I must have just copied the binary last time I built this..

a workaround is from the shell:
sudo cp pcb2gcode /usr/local/bin


looking at why, from 'sudo make install'
   make[2]: Entering directory `/home/john/projects/pcb2gcode'
test -z "/usr/local/bin" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/bin"
   /bin/sh ./libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c pcb2gcode 
'/usr/local/bin'

ok - the last line works using my system libtool (and sudo) but not 
using the vesion of libtool in the pcb2gcode repo.

Patrick - so you have a reason for distributing a libtool copy that 
seems slightly broken, rather than just depending on a system one?
why not treat it like gcc and auto*?

regards, john
