Lepton EDA configuration utility

lepton-conf is designed to ease the process of editing Lepton EDA (Lepton Electronic Design Automation) configuration that is stored in ini-like files (*.conf) - that is, new-style configuration, as opposed to settings stored in Guile source code files.
It is a graphical user interface application (using GTK 2.x, see screenshots) that does essentially the same as lepton-cli(1) command-line utility invoked with the config command.

Dependencies

• The Lepton EDA suite, version 1.9.8 or later (at least git 039c08c, Dec 19, 2018).

• The git version control tool, version 1.6 or later.

• A C compiler.

• pkg-config.

• Automake

• Libtool

Installation from source

• Checkout source code:

  $ git clone https://github.com/graahnul-grom/lepton-conf.git
  $ cd lepton-conf

• Run autogen.sh to generate the configuration script:

  $ ./autogen.sh

• Run the configuration script. You can pass it the --prefix option if you want to install lepton-conf to custom location, e.g. ./configure --prefix=$HOME/lepton-conf:

  $ ./configure

If Lepton EDA is installed in non-standard location, adjust the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable when running the configure script:

  $ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/lepton-eda/lib/pkgconfig ./configure

• Build:

  $ make

• Install (you may need to run this as root):

  $ make install

• Run the application:

  $ lepton-conf

If Lepton EDA is installed in non-standard location, set the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when running lepton-conf:

  $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/lepton-eda/lib lepton-conf
