Spicelib fails to build. This is what I did:

  1. $ git clone http://github.com/werner2101/spicelib.git
  2. $ make all (in spicelib folder)
    ... downloading from nxp, ti, national...
    ... unpacking ...
  3. Error message:

...
Fixed file "model_library/nxp/bipolar/2PB709ART.prm"
scripts/replace_string.py "1 BCX56 NPN" "1 BCX56" model_library/nxp/bipolar/BCX56.prm
ERROR: searchstring not found "1 BCX56 NPN"
make: *** [create_nxp_bipolar] Error 255

I have the following files (among others) in model_library/nxp/bipolar
BCX56_10.prm
BCX56_16.prm
BCX56.prm

The BCX56.prm looks the following:

Hi mogliii,

we are no longer using make to build and test the models.
We switched to scons which is more powerfull. The Makefile is outdated.

The commands you should use are the same:

  • scons download
    or scons download_[vendor]
  • scons create
    or scons create_[vendor]
  • scons test
    or scons test_[vendor]_[libraryname]

I think we should update the docs and remove the Makefile.

Regards
Werner
PS: your post on help-gnucap was much shorter ;-)
