Changelist:
* Drilling cycle changed to use basic G-code commands, as the controller I use does not support G81.
* Drilling cycle outputs metric coordinates- I will probably remove it because when using smooth=1 option, imperial units are used.
* Merged in code which simplifies G-code commands (implementation of Douglas-Peucker algorithm by Fritz). See: http://sourceforge.net/p/pcb2gcode/mailman/message/29321285/


Original README:
********************

This is a complete rewrite of the original pcb2gcode in C++.

Quick Installation
***************


Archlinux:
pcb2gcode stable 1.1.3 -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50457
pcb2gcode git 1.1.4 -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55198


Fedora:
*) Open a terminal and cd to the extracted tarball
*) type the following:
      su
      <the root password>
      yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
      yum install automake autoconf libtool boost-devel gtkmm24-devel gerbv-devel
      exit
      ./configure
      make
      su -c 'make install'
*) done.


Debian, Ubuntu:
There are pcb2gcode packages in the official repositories.
The Ubuntu ones are outdated (1.1.2) as of 26-12-2011, I recommend installing 1.1.4 from source.

*) Open a terminal and cd to the extracted tarball
*) type the following:
      sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf libtool libboost-all-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev gerbv
      <your own password>
      ./configure
      make
      sudo make install
*) done.


Installation from GIT (latest development version):

$ git clone git://pcb2gcode.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pcb2gcode/pcb2gcode
$ cd pcb2gcode
$ ./git-build.sh
$ sudo make install
