As of March 25, 2019, I have implemented a new git system not based onrsync, and at the same time have updated version 3.10 to stable andmade that the only version.

As of April 10, 2011, I have changed version 3.7 to stable,and version 3.8 is the new development version. Thestable release will only be updated with bug fixes, while all newdevelopment and experimental stuff will go into the developmentrelease.

This option is especially useful to install xcircuit in a local directory (i.e., install without root privilege).with-cairo This is the development option new to xcircuit version 3.9, making use of the Cairo graphics library for antialiased line rendering and font rendering from outline fonts. Developed by Erik van der Wal. Xcircuit is distributed under the Artistic License. Installation Installation of xcircuit may be accomplished by way of either source code or an RPM package. For RPM systems, simply download the RPM version of xcircuit, become root, and install the package as follows: #rpm -i xcircuit-2.0a11-1.i386.rpm.

Below is the source code downloads for the stable and developmentbranches of the distribution. Under those are some pre-compiled executablessuch as RPM package files, a pre-compiled Windows 7 64bit executable,a link to the Cygwin (Windows) version of XCircuit, and a link to MichealGoffioul's XCircuit for Windows (native, not Cygwin). The native Win32code was incorporated into the distribution in version 3.4.18. Morepackaged versions should be coming soon, based on the declared stablesource distribution.

Pre-compiled XCircuit packages

Major Distributions

Mac OS X

XCircuit will compile under the UNIX/X11-based Macintosh OS X.However, there are two packaged versions which should make installationa cinch.

The most recent and preferred version is located at MacPorts:
MacPorts XCircuit. This has links to dependencies, including(most importantly) Tcl/Tk based on X11 rather than Quartz.

Another precompiled version for OS X can be found at Fink Project:
fink.sourceforge.net package xcircuit.and for XCircuit version 3.6:fink.sourceforge.net package xcircuit-testing.

Quick install instructions for OS X using fink:

1. Download the fink distribution tarball (version 0.35.1.tar.gz is the most recent as of this update) from this SourceForge URL.
   
2. Follow the installation instructions for fink, found at this link.
   
3. Install XCircuit from the terminal by entering the command:

   fink install xcircuit

   
   

It is necessary to have the 'fink' package of Tcl/Tk for theTcl-based version of XCircuit tocompile and link properly under Mac OS X. This package will beused and/or installed automatically if you follow the finkprojectlinks above. If you attempt to compile xcircuit from source usinga version of Tcl/Tk that uses Quartz, the native Mac graphics API,xcircuit will crash.

Thanks to Max Horn for his support in providing andmaintaining this package for some years. The current maintaineris Alexander Hansen. Contact information may be found on thefinkproject site.

RedHat Linux (RPM)

The latest officially stable distribution of xcircuit. All the bells and whistles included. Thanks to Alec Habig (habig@neutrino.d.umn.edu) for generating these packages. Note that compilation from source is recommended over installation of precompiled executables, as the result is guaranteed to be tailored to the target system. Compilation from non-RPM source is recommended to get the very latest bug fixes and/or features.

Version 3.4 is the most recent stable packaged distribution.

Version 3.3.37 was compiled with gcc-4 under Fedora Core 4. This may not be compatible with certain systems and their installed shared libraries, so version 3.3.18 will be left around for a while (Fedora Core 2). Note that in any case, the source RPM can be downloaded and compiled. Alec sent me version 3.4.26, and I haven't heard any complaints about 3.3.37, so I'm removing version 3.3.18 from the list.

Ubuntu Linux

Forrest Cook reports a successful compile on Ubuntu Linux 5.10('Breezy Badger'). However, Ubuntu, being a bit spare ondevelopment software in the standard installation, requiresthese additional packages to compile xcircuit:

• tcl8.4
• tcl8.4-dev
• tk8.4
• tk8.4-dev
• libxp
• gcc
• g++
• make
• nasm
• m4

The configure line for Ubuntu is the following:

./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 --with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.4

Giuseppe Borzi at the University of Messina in Italy sent me a packagedversion of XCircuit-3.4 for Ubuntu 7.04 (i386). The package can be downloadedhere:

Pardus Linux

This PiSi package was created by Ayan Öztürk. It can be foundhere: http://packages.pardus.org.tr/contrib-2007/xcircuit-3.6.130-6-6.pisi (343KB).Many thanks to Ayan! (Last updated February 20, 2008).

Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit

The Windows native graphics version was developed and debugged by Michael Goffioul in 2005, using a base of code for Tcl/Tk that converts X11 calls to Windows graphics calls, and adding missing functions as necessary. This provides an excellent library of routines for converting X11 apps to Windows. Using this library, Tomas Forssén made additional modifications to allow the current stable version 3.7 to compile for Windows, using the MinGW gcc compiler. I made additional corrections for version 3.8 and targeted the 64-bit architecture. Update, October 2013: Finally got around to compiling version 3.8 in a 32-bit environment.

Prerequisites:

1. Tcl/Tk 8.5Mandatory.
   The best package to get is ActiveTcl, at www.tcl.tk. Make sure you get the 64-bit version. Install in the default target, which is C:Tcl.
   
2. GraphicsMagickRecommended.
   This package lets you import pretty much any graphic image into XCircuit by converting into the one format that XCircuit understands. Get this package from Install into C:Program FilesGraphicsMagick, which is not the default installation target.
   
3. GhostscriptOptional.
   This package allows arbitrary PostScript files to be rendered onto the XCircuit background. This is a fairly obscure feature, and not necessarily recommended. Download it from sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript and install in C:Program Filesgsgs9.05, which is not quite the default installation target (for the 32-bit XCircuit zip file, this is compiled to a later version and the install location is gs9.09).

64-bit version Release notes:

1. Revision 1 May 24, 2012.
   First version, generally untested.
   
2. Revision 2 May 26, 2012.
   Added the zlib library for flate encoding/decoding, and corrected a crash error in the graphic image routines. Tested over a wide range of features.
   

32-bit version Release notes:

1. Revision 1 October 14, 2013.
   First version, generally untested.
   

Installation instructions:

1. Download and install the prerequisite packages indicated above. Note that you may need to reboot or manually add the Tcl directory to the path environment variable before the program will launch properly.
2. Download the file XCircuit-3.8win64.zip (or XCircuit-3.8win32.zip) above. Put this in the C: top level directory.
3. Unzip the file. This will create directory C:/OpenCircuitDesign/ and subdirectory C:/OpenCircuitDesign/Xcircuit-3.8/.
4. Create a shortcut link on your desktop to file C:/OpenCircuitDesign/Xcircuit-3.8/bin/xcircuit.bat

Other Packages

Have an xcircuit package you'd like to share? Send it (or a link) to me.I generally recommend compiling from source (see up top, this page), so Idon't make packages myself (that, and the fact that my rpm executable hasbeen broken for a long time). But that's not everyone's cup of tea. Inparticular, some systems are distributed in broken condition or otherwisehave problems or incongruities that make compilation difficult for thenovice. If you have a package, I'll put it here.

XCircuit for Windows (native)

Thanks to Michael Goffioul for this version, which should be integrated into the source distribution as soon as I get around to doing it. This version does not require Cygwin or an X11 server.

Additional installation instructions: If you want the Tcl/Tk version, it is generally better to use an existing version of Tcl/Tk rather than install one in the XCircuit directory. If you don't have Tcl/Tk for Windows, I recommend the free ActiveTcl from ActiveState software. When using an existing version of Tcl/Tk, unselect Tcl/Tk from the install list for XCircuit. You will be prompted for the location of your existing version of Tcl. ActiveTcl installs by default into C:Tcl.

XCircuit for Windows/Cygwin

XCircuit Project on SourceForge

You should check the version numbers against this web page to make sure you're getting the most recent version.

Repository of Object Libraries

This page includes all the libraries of objects created by users of xcircuit and sent to me to be made publically available. If you have a library to add here, please send the .lps file directly to me by email.

Contributions

Otherwise known as ``Neat Hacks.'
As XCircuit develops further toward the model of a compact C core with extended functionality provided by Python scripts, I hope to include contributed Python scripts which extend and enhance the capabilities of XCircuit (see section 'Help!' on the XCircuit home page).
