(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi,
i seeking a LITTLE and simple pcb cad program for puppy.

NO like EAGLE : to much compless and bigger size on my older Pc.

Please suggest only precompiled executable..

Thanks

Maybe 'pcb':

Makes about a 6MB package here, using src2pkg without any special options.

Hi,
excuse me, but in the link i can't see any BINARIES for linux.
They are a link for sourgeforge, but contain only WIN exe
and SOURCE for linux.
I'm not able to compile the source..

Thanks

Roberto

P.s. can you post the link for download the binaries precompiled?

I suggest using src2pkg. If you can get your devx setup working, src2pkg will package nearly anything for you without knowing anything about compiling -best way to get exactly what you want.

Hi Amigo,

i'm a TOTALY BEGINNER for puppy!

Whath is SCR2PKG ?

Where i can download it?

I search the EASY way for load on my pc PCB for linux.


Please explain me STEB BY STEP..

Many thanks

ExpressPCB works well under wine.

It only lets you order boards from them but you can't beat their price for the software (free) and the PCBs aren't too costly.

Would Xcircuit, QElectrotech or Java based Electric be suitable?

Xcircuit it's good for schematic, but don't have pcb libraries and drawing mode(so you can draw the electric scheme, but can't not engeneering the printed circuit board).
The 2 others suggestion it's not a good choice : the first it's a schematic for electrotecnic drawing (no electronic) , the second require use of java (many Mb of size and memory use).

This is the best choice : http://pcb.gpleda.org/index.html

UNFORTUNLY NO PACKAGE WITH DEPENDENCIES EXIST!!!
If someone want to try to prepare a complete .pet package...

Thanks

Hey - iw2evk!

If someone were gonna compile it for you, which version of Puppy are we talking bout here?
