Make Eagle3D work in Ubuntu

[Melkekartong]

Had some issues making eagle3D cooperate with povray in ubuntu 10.10. Figured it out, so I'm posting this possible solution in English.

 

1. Install povray and MS truetype core fonts. sudo apt-get install povray msttcorefonts.

2. Download the eagle3D-library & extract. - http://www.matwei.de/doku.php?id=en:eagle3d:eagle3d

3. Copy files from eagle3d.zip/eagle3d/povray to /usr/share/povray/include

4. Change ownership/permissions (sudo chown root /usr/share/povray/include/* && sudo chgrp root /usr/share/povray/include/* && sudo chmod a+r /usr/share/povray/include/*).

5. Edit your global povray.ini (mine is located in /etc/povray/3.6/povray.ini) to include the path of your MS truetype font-library:

 

Library_Path="/usr/share/povray"

Library_Path="/usr/share/povray/ini"

Library_Path="/usr/share/povray/include"

 

// Add the following line:

Library_Path="/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts"

 

Using Eagle3D:

Next' date=' in Eagle (board mode)

File->Run

Locate eagle3d.zip/eagle3d/ulp/3d41.ulp

Choose your settings, etc, create POV-file

 

To create Eagle3D-image through command-line:

povray -W800 -H600 -Q9 -A0.1 -OOUTPUT.png -L input.pov

 

Good luck, have fun!
