Re: [Qucs-devel] qucs

[Frans S. <fra...@gm...>]

Hi,

Happy new year!
The model generation is triggered by either running autogen.sh or adding
--enable-maintainer-mode to configure (if not make distclean might help)
I do have access to the qucs website, already added a news item so i can
add files.
I think shared objects are ok, but maybe it would be good to have both
simulators of qucs and qucsstudio supported by qucs finally. Also pcb
integration (i believe kicad is used for studio) is an option and not even
very difficult i guess.
For now i am concentrating on making the qt4 port stable enough to make it
mainstream and put it back into major repos loke debian and ubuntu.
