oregano is an application for schematic capture and simulation of electronic circuits. The actual simulation is performed by Berkeley Spice, GNUcap or the new generation ngspice. oregano is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL-2.0 included in the file COPYING.
Build matrix:
| OS | Build Status |
|---|---|
| Fedora 21 |  |
| Ubuntu 12.04 |  |
The overall status should still be considered unstable since the process of re-working core components has yet to be completed.
Donations are welcome!
The preferred way of supporting oregano is by sending patches and pull requests or filing bug reports.
If you are not going to build it yourself from source (which in fact is quite straightforward) you can grab a either a ready to install packages or distribution specific recipes:
- Fedora - stable and git or via
dnf copr enable drahnr/oregano - ArchLinux - stable, git
You need gtk+-3.0, glib-2.0, gio-2.0, gtksourceview-3.0, goocanvas-2.0, libxml2 and intltool in order to build oregano.
These are usually included in your favorite distributions repositories and can otherwise be found at the gnome public ftp server.
In order to simulate a schematic you need either ngspice or gnucap.
If you are running a recent Fedora or Ubuntu, you can simply use su -c'./waf builddeps' to do that automatically.
To build the oregano application issue the following for a debug build
./waf configure debug -j
or the following for a release build
./waf configure release -j
For additional options like specifying the install directory, consult
./waf --help
Note that additional options can be passed to the configure stage, i.e. waf configure --prefix="/usr" debug -j6 is commonly used.
Attention!
If you install oregano to a different prefix than /usr, /usr/local keep in mind that the GSettings schema will be installed under ${PREFIX}/shared/glib-2.0/schemas/, which will not be checked by default. So you need to export the schema location appropriately via export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/share:${HOME}/.local/share:${PREFIX}/share before launching oregano, see xdg basedir spec for further details.
Omitting the --prefix=.. option results in /usr/local as prefix, which works just fine.
For installation to the default directories, it is usually required to run
./waf install
with root privileges.
After installation oregano can be started by running oregano from terminal.
./waf uninstall
Attention!
On subsequent installs with different prefixes this will only remove the last install!
are very welcome! We provide TODO,ARCHITECTURE.md, HACKING.md and the files under docs/* as a starting point, an overview that should help you going.
If you want to discuss an issue or something you would like to implement, don't be shy, drop a message to gitter.im
For bug and issue tracking as well as feature requests, the github built in issue tracker is used.
Translators are welcome to translate at transifex which will be synced into the git repository a day before a new release is created (see the release milestones for planned release dates)
Attention!
Currently translations are out of sync and will stay so until the next stable release since many error and ui strings are in the process of being unified.
