Hi Nathan,

You're not doing anything wrong.  I get the same errors.  The
problem with the GNUduino project.  It does not include any
footprints.

You get fewer errors if you run gsch2pcb with the output name
GNUduino.pcb instead of test.pcb, because most elements already
have a matching refdes on the pcb, so no action is taken.

But the real problem is that the footprints are missing.  I would
try to contact the GNUduino author, Jeffrey Antony.  Unfortunately
he doesn't seem to have an email address listed, but maybe you can
reach him through Twitter <http://twitter.com/jeffrey_antony>.  Ask
him to include all footprints used in the design.  You'll know when
all the footprints are included, because the command
“gsch2pcb -o test GNUduino.sch” will succeed and product
test.pcb with no errors about missing footprints.

Because pcb embeds all footprints into the layout file, the
GNUduino.pcb file included in the project is still usable, and you
could just modify it if you needed to.  Or, you could extract the
footprints from it manually by selecting each element, copy to
buffer, and save buffer elements to file.  But really, each pcb
project should always include files for all footprints and symbols
used.

Regards,
Colin
