Hi Again,

For future readers of this thread here are a few notes.
1) To set the environment variable WXWIN as per the how-to-build.txt 
exiting the msys did not work for me. Instead I used the msys 
command

export wxwin=/c/linuxdev/wxWidgets-2.6.3

2) In order to see the errors I used the following make command.

make -f makefile.g95 2> err.txt

This places any error messages in a err.txt file. Without this I 
would still be searching through the 25000 lines of output looking 
for the error messages.

3) I first tried kicad-sources-2006-01-19. The first error was 
caused by the wxwin in 1) above not being set. The next error was 
that the wxwigdets include/wx/setup.h could not be found. I copied 
the setup.h from include/wx/msw and this solved that error.

4) I then arbitarily decided to rather try kicad-sources-2006-06-
26 No errors!!!!

5) Now the actual problem that I was trying to address. If a gerber 
plot has more than D99 (91 tools) then the output is corrupt (wrong 
tool used for track etc).

I modified the pcbplot.h from line 123 as follows:

#define MAX_D_CODE 247

eda_global int ref_D_CODE [MAX_D_CODE+1]
#if defined MAIN

250,251,252,253,254,255,
-1}
#endif

This solved my gerber plot problem.

I then tried (and failed) to see why the plotgerb.cpp code on line 
726 did not warn that the DCODES had been exausted.  

if( ref_D_CODE[num_new_D_code] < 0 )  
{ /* Tous les DCODES prevus sont epuises */
nb_plot_erreur++ ;Affiche_erreur(nb_plot_erreur) ;
return (-1) ;
}

This error trap is executed but no error message appears.

Derek
