You can optionally convert tracks into Excellon slot commands. When it opens click on File in the gerbv window and select Open Layer(s).If a Gerber layer doesn't have any apertures with hole definition, you will now be asked if the tool sizes should be created from the aperture size instead. Now gerbv can be accessed from the Applications menu. Click on Applications and select Customize.Īt the top right of the Application Menu window click Add Item.ĭouble click in the new field under Name and type gerbv.ĭouble click in the new field under Command and type gerbv (the path to it is already setup). If you forgot to download XQuartz you will get a warning, although this should be called an error since until you resolve this and re-run brew doctor you can not install anything.Īfter all that, you can now launch XQuartz. Depending on how much open source work you do some of these warnings may need to be addressed. It will tell you things and ask for permission to do things by hitting return, just hit return. Now paste it into your terminal window and hit return. The line may run off the right edge of the box, make sure you get it all. Scroll to the bottom of the page and copy the WHOLE line as instructed. Now, if you know the bash shell is your shell, launch Terminal (in Applications/Utilities). Make sure you are quit out of Xcode and XQuartz.
First, if you don’t know if you are running the bash shell in Terminal, do these 7 steps:ģ) Click on the lock at the bottom left of the window and enter your passwordĦ) From the Login shell pop-up menu select /bin/bash I found that version 2.7.7 works well on Mac OS X 10.10.1 even though there is no mention of 10.10.x compatibility. Second you must download and install the latest version of XQuartz from here: After installing YOU MUST LAUNCH AND AGREE TO THE LICENSE or the gerbv build will fail.
It is over 2GB so it will take a few minutes.
It can be downloaded from the Mac App Store.
If you haven’t already, download and install Xcode. I still include my Fink notes at the bottom of this page. Today I prefer to use Homebrew since it is so simple. I first built it with Fink and it works well, especially with Fink Commander, the GUI based tool. You can build gerbv with with Fink, MacPorts, or Homebrew.
