seems payd till October 2024 but now is down<br>
<br>
gEDA development has always been with the main focus on Linux and have <br>
never cared about macOS and Windows.<br>
In recent years, competition from KiCad (which is madly actively <br>
developed cross platform by CERN and is still GPL) I think has killed <br>
the development of gEDA. The only exception is GerbV which is still <br>
maintained and is quite up to date for Linux and Windows, but not for macOS:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/gerbv/gerbv" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/gerbv/gerbv</a><br>
<br>
In reality GerbV has always been the only program in the package to <br>
compile correctly for Windows, I generated it annually for Linux and <br>
Windows colleagues, and due to its ease I still find it superior to the <br>
one integrated into KiCad, even if it does not support the Gerber X2 <br>
standard is become obsolete.<br>
<br>
<br>
Take a look to Lepton:<br>

seems mantained<br>
