Re: gEDA-user: How to get pcb from gschem?

["Rui Cheang" <ruicheang-at-NOSPAMhotmail_dot_com>]

Dear all,

Indeed, i am a new one who starts on the gschem and pcb, would u give me 
some examples (there is only a LED example under the pcb which is so 
complicated to be understood), please?  I hope i can understand the use of 
this pvb and gschem more through some simple examples, is that okay?

Could the schema (in gschem) must include the footprints attribute? if not, 
then how can i make them in pcb program?

Thanks a lot!
Rui
