Hi,

Please do post how = to build geda-gaf on a Mac!

I haven=92t been = able to install geda-gaf 1.9.2 or the git head on a mac.  I do have = 1.8.2 working =97 built from source, but would like to use gaf which I = just learned came later (last I checked, the homebrew version is = 1.8.2.)

The git version fails to compile on my = mac, as explained in a recent post on geda-help:
  http://www.delorie.com/archives/browse.cgi?p=3Dgeda-help/2016/= 02/29/20:24:53

I can get version 1.9.2 to = compile out of the box, but there are several serious issues when = running.  A few are:
* when you close gcschem =93F C=94, = an OS X popup appears saying that gschem quit unexpectedly.  The = terminal window shows a suite of error messages, including a segfault = message (full output below).
* The "inverted polarity" = notation (is that the right name for it?)  e.g. "\_Q\_=94 produces = a very thick over-bar in gschem, and the PDF output produced by gaf = shows the entire character as a solid black rectangle (i.e. don=92t see = a letter, don=92t see an over-bar, just a large black = rectangle).
* toolbar icons don=92t appear until you = mouse-over them, and drop-down menu text (=93File=94 =93Edit=94 =93View=94= etc.) is invisible until you click on them.
* Blank line in = text field produces huge vertical whitespace gap.  I add a text = field to a schematic, enter two lines of text separated by a blank line, = then when rendered, the first and second lines of text are separated by = the equivalent of about 20 lines of blank = space.

I don=92t know if these issues are = gschem related, or rather an issue with some dependency.  Any = advice is much appreciated.

Also, I=92ve been = reading through the geda-user archives (slowly, on the delorie.com page that lists posts on = separate pages by day =97 is there a more efficient way to view the = archive?) and came across this post.  Not sure if it will attach to = the thread correctly...

Many thanks for the = assistance,
James

Are you guys at all interested in bugs in pcb = on the Macs?

I have a MacBook Pro for work, and = I thought I'd give it a shot compiling

I've = overcome) and I think I've spotted a few bugs (which I = haven't

I don't know how = many mac users of pcb there are out there, but if = it's
