PADS question: document name

I'm throwing in the towel on this one. It's probably *possible* to build it with MSVC but, after going around and around with cmake and nmake, I'm dying with a cubic butt-ton of unresolved linker errors about 70%+ into the process. The right way to do it would be to set up a proper gcc environment, and that's not happening anytime soon.

I'll keep what I have in place, for now, if anyone wants to compare notes.

Thanks for trying and letting us know, Rich. I think I am going to stay with Eagle for now and when there is a little more time I'll try Mark's route and see if I can resurrect the old DOS-OrCad. That is still the best, haven't seen anything that has reached its level of perfection. There may have been a lot of progress with autorouters over the last 20 years but with schematic capture I don't quite see such a progress.

Well, I'm not giving up altogether. I have room for mingw and msys, which seem to be the mainline development environment for the MSWindows executables. It will have to take its place in the FIFO, though...

And FIFO content is determined by SWMBO. I just scored one more on the list, the guides of a large drawer in the kitchen croaked. The rollers are, of course, not available individually. Meaning it'll be contortion and back pain time again. Harumph.

You'd be surprised what sort of cabinet hardware you can find on the web. I've replaced a bunch of stuff with pretty much original hardware for SWMBO bonus points. Doesn't help the back though.

Problem is the rollers are riveted to the guides. And the new guides are

2" shorter, it was all they had. I'll have to see if that is SWMBO acceptable. Somehow the cabinet hardware in the US is mostly of the flimsy kind. The stuff in the 100+ year old bedroom set and desks we brought over is all still ok, zero maintenance. Our 100lbs Rottweiler once stepped on the fully extended file cabinet of my office desk, to have an "aerial look". Didn't budge a bit.

Rollers are normally riveted to the guides. It's easier to replace the whole thing than parts (match doesn't have to be perfect). Even HomeDespot carries an assortment of guides with lengths in 2" increments. There are a bunch of online stores I deal with that have an even wider selection at about 1/2 the cost (if it matters).

Mostly, though good furniture has good guides (one way to tell the real quality of the piece). I did pay an extra $15 per drawer (22) for the soft-closing slides for the Amish dining room and bedroom sets I bought in Ohio last year. The two rooms of furniture were $15K, so the few hundred for the top-o-the-line slides wasn't that big of a deal. ;-)

But the selection always ends at 24" and it's a 26" :-(

Unless you go mail order maybe but I don't want yet another project.

Well, you can't really go wrong with Amish furniture. They still make the good stuff and most likely always will. Our stuff was made where those guys originally came from ;-)

When I've looked in various HomeDespots, they also have 18, 20, and

22". Have you looked on line?

Three days, and you'll have the part. I buy most stuff online anymore. It's cheaper and there is a lot better selection.

;-)

Interesting place. They're not grid connected (against their "religion"), but have their own diesel generators for lights and power tools.

build

gcc

Yeah, if SWMBO ain't happy with the 24" I got I'll order online. Better than hearing complaints about it every other week :-)

The Diesels are for fridges AFAIR. The laws made them do that.

No fridges in a furniture showroom/factory. Gas would be better/cheaper than a generator just for the fridges.
