Opendous KiCad library

This repo has the exact content of KiCad_Libraries-2012-10-18.zip which can be found at https://code.google.com/archive/p/opendous/downloads

It has been cloned here solely for the purposes of easily including it into other repos as a Git submodule.

Following is the original content of the readme file.

Adding KiCad Libraries To a Specific Project:

A visual tutorial for adding KiCad Libraries to a project is available at:

http://code.google.com/p/opendous/wiki/KiCADTutorialAddingLibraries

Adding KiCad Libraries Permanently:

To use Opendous Inc.'s KiCad footprints, you must copy opendous.dcm and opendous.lib to your \KiCad\share\library directory and copy opendous.mod and opendous.mdc to your \KiCad\share\modules directory. For older version of KiCad, these directories are \KiCad\library and \KiCad\modules, respectively.

You must then edit your \KiCad\share\template\kicad.pro file to inform KiCad that new library and module files are available. In older versions of KiCad, this file is in \KiCad\template\kicad.pro.

Open the file in a text editor that does not add formatting, such as Windows' Notepad, and look for [pcbnew/libraries]. Add a line for opendous to the end of the [pcbnew/libraries] list:

[pcbnew/libraries]
LibDir=
LibName1=supports
LibName2=connect
LibName3=discret
...
LibName9=opendous

Now look for [eeschema/libraries] and add opendous to that list:

[eeschema/libraries]
LibName1=power
LibName2=device
LibName3=transistors
...
LibName29=opendous

Now when you run KiCad, Opendous Inc.'s footprints will be available.
