Hello,

I've just solved problem with not being able to compile xgsch2pcb from 
git repository source on latest Debian Jessie GNU/Linux distribution 
which sits on my desktop computer. Here I come with patch and tiny how 
to which every one can implement by itself until one of gEDA developer 
with write permission commit patch and it's additional step to the 
repository.

Brief problem description
=========================
If you clone source code from xgsch2pcb git repository and try to 
compile it on Debian Wheezy or later or any other distro that have 
version of automake tool >= 1.11 you will probably end up with this two 
lines error:

Makefile.am:33: error: 'pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for 
'PYTHON'
Makefile.am:25: error: 'pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for 
'PYTHON'

Question how to solve it was asked by Philipp Klostermann on Jun 05 2014 
at geda-help mailing list and then filled as bug report by Stephen Besch 
on 2015-03-26 at Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/geda/+bug/1436941)


Here is quick solution
======================
1) Apply provided patch to ./Makefile.am file (HEAD revision)

$ cd xgsch2pcb
$ patch -p1 < Makefile.am.patch

2) Replace "py-compile" file in xgsch2pcb folder by that one from 
actually installed automake

$ mv ./py-compile ./py-compile.old
$ cp /usr/share/automake-1.14/py-compile ./


Additional info
===============
In latest stable Debian distribution Jessie is automake version 1.14. 
But general changes comes a lot earlier. I wasn't able to successfuly 
compile xgsch2pcb from automake version 1.11.

According to automake online manual 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Python) 
changes has to be made on 3 lines (25, 33, 60) in Makefile.am file of 
xgsch2pcb or you can apply provided patch as noted above. Then the 
compilation will run without
above error.

After you apply provided patch copy "py-compile" file from actual 
automake folder or you stuck on following error when you try to run 
"make install":

./py-compile: Missing argument to --destdir.

Stefano Lattarini describe what has to be done in his message 
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-06/msg00012.html):

 >>  ../py-compile: Missing argument to --destdir.
 >>
 >This is likely happening because the maintainer have updated his 
Makefiles to
 >Automake 1.12, but forgot to update the 'py-compile' script.  So this 
is a user
 >error, not an Automake's fault.

And in his message 
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patche/2011-06/msg00056.html) 
he provide patch which clarifies why it has to be done. The patch he 
provided is already included in automake 1.14. So only above mentioned 
copy operation will be enough.
