Distribute the libraries

[FFY00]

Hi, I am packaging pcbdraw for Arch Linux and was wondering if maybe the libraries could be packaged too. We could distribute the libraries and have pcbdraw include them by default.

A simple makefile that puts the libraries in /usr/share/pcbdraw would work (just make sure you respect prefix and DESTDIR). This could also be packaged via setuptools, I think.

Then pcbdraw would just look for the files there and include them 😁.

This is related to yaqwsx/PcbDraw#31 and yaqwsx/PcbDraw#29

I plan to review these PRs and merge them in a few days.

Just an update - both PRs were merged.

@FFY00 A simple "cp" or "mv" in the package() function of the PKGBUILD would work, right ? :)

What's the situation on this?

@yaqwsx So let me summarize.

• If no lib is passed as argument (or kicad-default) footdraws are searched at /usr/share/pcbdraw ?
• If a lib is passed, is /usr/share/pcbdraw searched or only the path passed as argument ?
