Hi  gEDA folk
I have installed lepton-eda by downloading *git clone
https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda.git
<https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda.git>*, and compiling. I also have
pcb, installed the same way it seems to have all worked, but now we need
some advice on how to set it up.

The system here is Linux mint 19.1, based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic
Beaver).
The install location is $HOME/lepton.
Similarly, the place for pcb is $HOME/pcb-4.2.0

The executable for pcb arrived in the $HOME/pcb-4.2.0/src folder.
Maybe I could have been smarter about where to pint to when doing *sudo
make install*, such as  aiming at /usr/local/bin, but in the end, I opted
to copy the executable into $HOME/bin, which is included in my $PATH

I have noticed that even though all the lepton component programs are
there, and do appear to launch OK when I use the command line, they do not
associate their extensions with lepton programs, nor have the right icons.

The installed set in $HOME/lepton are ..
.. bin
.. include
.. lib
.. share
I did notice that there is a mime folder within the share folder, which has
the complete .xml file in $HOME/lepton/share/mime/packages that defines the
new filetypes and their associations.

I have a $HOME/.geda/gafrc (empty)
.. also $HOME/.geda/geda-user.conf (empty)
.. and a $HOME/.geda/gschem-dialog-geometry containing some location, width
and height setups.
I have removed all the old geda packages that came with the distribution
repository.

I do have a single place where I keep any local .sym symbols and packages
of pcb footprints I may create myself. I usually put a gafrc file in with
any project folder, and a "packages" symlink to the footprints.

I think the pcb program is in a better situation than the lepton install.
Files with extension .pcb have the little green icon, and launch pcb when
clicked.

This is all very new, and not yet used. I am happy to re-arrange it, or
even start again.
What is your best advice to get this set up - particularly to associate the
.sch and other extensions with their respective lepton programs, and to use
the supplied icons?

Thanks in advance if you can help.
My regards
Graham
