<!here> Dear all - Please take a look at this comment from @Boris Murmann: https://github.com/sscs-ose/DC23-LTC2/pull/1#pullrequestreview-1691375712 Make sure to address that in your designs to make it easier on us to review your work! Thanks!

When symbols have absolute path in the schematic this means that the directory containing the symbols is not listed in the

xschemrc

variable

XSCHEM_LIBRARY_PATH

. If a symbol placed in a schematic is from a directory '_known by xschem_' (meaning the directory is listed in

XSCHEM_LIBRARY_PATH

) xschem will remove the directory from the symbol reference, making the schematic portable. See this manual page for the details.

If the

xschemrc

has the below entry, then users can just set

XSCHEM_USER_LIBRARY_PATH

(which might be easier).

# allow a user-specific path add-on (<https://github.com/iic-jku/iic-osic-tools/issues/7>)
if { [info exists ::env(XSCHEM_USER_LIBRARY_PATH) ] } {
    append XSCHEM_LIBRARY_PATH :$env(XSCHEM_USER_LIBRARY_PATH)
}

Thank you!
