2011-12-11 09:14:09 Peter TB Brett description The '--m4-file FILE' option to gsch2pcb is supposed to "use" the specified M4 source FILE when the gsch2pcb backend generates footprints using M4. gsch2pcb generates a snippet of Scheme code which is evaluated by gnetlist between loading the gsch2pcb gnetlist backend and running it. The generated snippet contains a line which looks like: (define m4-files STRING) where STRING is a space-separated list of M4 filenames. However, the gsch2pcb gnetlist backend never uses the m4-files variable. This was broken in commit 6d935086d299. The '--m4-file FILE' option to gsch2pcb is supposed to "use" the specified M4 source FILE when the gsch2pcb backend generates footprints using M4. The '--m4-pcbdir DIR' option is supposed to set the M4 search path to DIR. Neither do anything at the moment. gsch2pcb generates a snippet of Scheme code which is evaluated by gnetlist between loading the gsch2pcb gnetlist backend and running it. The generated snippet contains lines that look like: (define m4-pcbdir DIRSTRING) (define m4-files FILESTRING) where FILESTRING is a space-separated list of M4 filenames. However, the gsch2pcb gnetlist backend never uses either of these variables. This was broken in commit 6d935086d299.
