The name EAGLE is an acronym, which stands for +Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor. The program consists of three main +modules (Layout Editor, Schematic Editor, and Autorouter) which are embedded +in a single user interface. + +If EAGLE prompts for a license key the first time it is run, point it toward +the freeware license file located at /opt/eagle-VERSION/bin/freeware.key, or +purchase a license to unlock advanced features. + +After the key is accepted, you may wish to change the permission of +/opt/eagle-VERSION/bin/eagle.key so that it is no longer world-writable. + + # chmod 0644 /opt/eagle-<version>/bin/eagle.key + +This script installs the English documentation. With version 5.10.0 German and +(some) Chinese documentation is included as well. To select them, run this +script as: + + # LANG=<xx> ./eagle.SlackBuild + +where <xx> = "de" for German and "zh" for Chinese. |
