pcb-rnd runs, but isn?t quite right. = There are several GTK widgets missing from the various preferences = dialogs ? however I suspect this is due to my GTK installation rather = than pcb-rnd.

Could you please send me a screenshot of = the broken widgets in private?

There's been a lot of changes to the preferences = window content, becuase of the conf rewrite, which is not finished yet. = The original preferences window stuff, called "User's PoV" should be = almost fully functional, without anything missing. The "Config's PoV" = subtree is unfinished; it has the frame and the basic structures but no = proper widgets to change settings.

Ok, = that would explain it, it=E2=80=99s only the Config PoV that has = issues.

Now for the problems. I have tried compiling on Linux = (Ubuntu 11.10 and 15.04) without success. Configuration and = compilation go well, but there are many errors at the linking stage, = e.g.:

../src_plugins/hid_gtk/gtk_conf_list.o:= In function `button_ins_cb':
gtk_conf_list.c:(.text+0x1f0):= undefined reference to `gtk_tree_view_get_type'
gtk_conf_list.c:(.text+0x1ff): undefined reference to = `g_type_check_instance_cast'
gtk_conf_list.c:(.text+0x207): = undefined reference to `gtk_tree_view_get_selection'

As far as I can tell I have all the GTK libraries installed, = and in fact I have compiled mainline pcb on my 11.10 install without = issues in the past.

The code section referred in the error = message is new in pcb-rnd, that explains why you don't have this problem = with mainline. It looks a bit tricky, as the code doesn't reference = these calls directly. I will need some time to debug this.

Could you please tell me the exact = version of the gtk library you tried with (I think dpkg -l would show = versions)?

libgtk2.0-0 = 2.24.6-0ubuntu5

libgtk2.0-bin = 2.24.6-0ubuntu5

libgtk2.0-cil = 2.12.10-2ubuntu1

libgtk2.0-common = 2.24.6-0ubuntu5

libgtk2.0-dev = 2.24.6-0ubuntu5

Other notes I have made:

1. M4 seems to be a requirement, but I?m not sure for which = options.

There shouldn't be any M4 dependency in = pcb-rnd: ./configure is in C, the build system uses make, shell and awk. = Dynamic/parametric footprint generation is not done via = (hardwired/mandatory) M4 either.

If you see any reference for M4 as requirement = or any code that doesn't compile or work without M4, please let me know = the location so I can fix it.

./configure = --prefix=3D/usr/local --buildin-hid_gtk --disable-gd = --disable-gpmi

2. Bison is required for -io_pcb and -import_edif = options.

Correct. I already have the generated = files commited, the goal is that you should be able to build without = bison & flex, these tools should be needed only for those developers = who want to change the formats.

I think it works with io_pcb, but I think I = forgot to make the changes to import_edif. Will look into this in ~6 = hours. Will do test builds on a bison-free machine. Thanks for reporting = this.

For = import_edif:

yacc = ../src_plugins/import_edif/edif.y

I could have sworn I got an error with = io_pcb too, but I can=E2=80=99t duplicate it now.
