I'm in this group, I just compiled pcb-rnd and it seems to work fine
on my old (late 2005) laptop. Pure gtk drawing was too slow to be usable
but the GL version is reasonably fast.
It compiles fine, great job, although I'd prefer a less verbose output
from make to better see the compiler messages (I like the terseness of
the Linux kernel compiles).
However, the BGA parametric footprint generator seems to hate me
and never works as soon as I change a parameter. I get a lot of
(synchro-rnd.lht:20679): GdkGLExt-CRITICAL **: gdk_gl_drawable_gl_begin: assertion 'GDK_IS_GL_DRAWABLE (gldrawable)' failed
messages and I can't place anything.
From the code, I also suspect that it goes from A to Z for the
alphanumeric labelling, which is incorrect. Most BGA alphabets
skip a few letters: I, O, Q, S, X, and Z for the Xilinx parts
I'm using (leaving us with a 20 alphabet of 20 symbols).
I just spotted a typo (triangle is misspelt) so here is a simple patch:
