7 Installation instructions
10 The build system of gerbv is based on GNU Autoconf.
12 Simple build instructions would (currently) be:
17 To recreate the configuration files you have to run:
21 % automake --copy --add-missing
24 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26 In order to build gerbv you must install the following packages first:
29 * Guile 1.4 is optional
30 * GdkPixbuf can be configured out
31 * libpng can be configured out
34 If you're interested in running gerbv in batch mode you have to install
35 Guile and run at configure time:
37 ./configure --enable-batch
39 If you don't want to have the possibility to export Gerber images to PNG
40 (and thus removing dependency on GdkPixbuf and libpng) you can run:
42 ./configure --disable-exportpng
44 The following switches are also available at configure time:
45 --with-maxfiles=<number> where <number> is how many files you want to have
46 open at the same time. Default is 20.
47 --enable-unit-mm if you want to default measurement units to millimeters.
50 If your make program is called gmake (for instance on Sun platforms) you
51 can run this by typing:
52 % MAKE=gmake ./configure
