Location specific user library references #856

In our IHP-Open-PDK we provide both: (1) device primitives symbols and (2) schematic/simulation examples which allow the user to design circuits using Qucs-S and IHP-Open-PDK. The symbol library is placed under .qucs/user_lib/ directory in user's home location. Unfortunately the examples we provide use fixed references of the symbols as follows:

  <Lib dpantenna1 1 470 750 40 -16 0 0 "/home/herman/.qucs/user_lib/IHP_PDK_nonlinear_components" 0 "dpantenna" 0 "16u" 1 "16u" 1>
  <Lib dantenna1 1 270 750 40 -16 0 0 "/home/herman/.qucs/user_lib/IHP_PDK_nonlinear_components" 0 "dantenna" 0 "8u" 1 "8u" 1>

what, by default does not pull the symbols from the .qucs/user_lib/ because of the specific username.

Is there any other way to distribute the symbols and examples ensuring portability at least for linux users ?

Qucs-S should support relative paths in libraries since the upcoming version v24.3.0. Furthermore, it shows the libraries from the project directory in the project tree. See #567 for more details.

No further explanation provided. Assume #567 resolves the mentioned issues. Closing.
