FreeBSD cad : gerbv

A Free Gerber Viewer

 Gerber Viewer (gerbv) is a viewer for Gerber files. Gerber files are
generated from PCB CAD system and sent to PCB manufacturers as basis
for the manufacturing process. The standard supported by gerbv is
RS-274X. The basic difference between RS-274D (the old standard) and
RS-274X is basically the addition of apertures in RS-274X. It might be
possible to make an RS-274X file out of an RS-274D file and an aperture
list.

gerbv also supports drill files. The format supported are known under
names as NC-drill or Excellon. The format is a bit undefined and different
EDA-vendors implement it different. But basically you need to have the
tools definition in the file, then the parser is quite tolerant. The
different holes are shown as dots in the (scaled) correct size.

The different layers of the PCB are separated into different files. gerbv
can load all files at the same time and display them "on top of each
other". You can independently turn them on and off.

- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
  supports them.  This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
  do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
  which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
  Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
  PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
  subdirectory detection.
