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