04/19/2021, 1:26 PM@Amr Gouhar @Ahmed Ghazy we should probably make it much clearer on the top level README that people should check out the latest stable release, not try to build from master
j
J. Scott Elder
04/19/2021, 1:30 PMwell, that brings up another point. there is a statement to do just that, but the link us broken!

Matt Venn

04/20/2021, 12:51 AMFound the problem, Matt. I viewed the GDS from the Klayout results folder. When I viewed the GDS from the Magic results folder, I get your picture. I think when the GDS is built for Klayout there is a problem. I used Klayout to view the Magic GDS just fine. So it's not Klayout. See attached image.

04/20/2021, 8:12 AMI didn't even know there were 2 GDS files produced. I haven't tried rc0.12 yet tho.
