# logdiag

logdiag is a schematic editor written in GTK+.

__This software is considered to be alpha quality and cannot be recommended  
for regular usage.__  

## Requirements

Runtime dependencies:  

 - GTK+ >= 2.12
 - json-glib >= 0.10.4
 - lua = 5.1
 - librsvg >= 2.0

Build dependencies:  

 - CMake >= 2.6

## Installation from sources on Unix-like systems

First check that you have all the required dependencies installed, including  
all development packages, if your distribution provides them.  

Reserve a directory for an out-of-source build:  
    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build

Let CMake prepare the build. You may change the directory where you want  
the application to be installed. The default is _/usr/local_.  
	$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

Now you have two basic choices of installing the application:  

1. Using _make install_:  
       # make install

2. Using _cpack_; you have to choose a package format understood by your  
   system package manager. CMake offers DEB and RPM.  

   After _cpack_ finishes making the package, install this file.  
       $ cpack -G DEB
       # dpkg -i logdiag-0.0-Linux-x86_64.deb

# Building from sources on Windows

First install CMake 2.8 and MinGW. Add both to the system path.  
If you want to build an installation package, also install NSIS.  

Run the following command in the directory with source files  
to automatically fetch and setup all dependencies:  
    > cmake -P Win32Depends.cmake

Reserve a directory for an out-of-source build:  
    > mkdir build
    > cd build

Let CMake prepare the build:  
	> cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Now you can generate a package with CPack. You may choose between:  

1. An NSIS-based installation package:  
       > cpack -G NSIS

2. A portable ZIP package:  
       > cpack -G ZIP

By default, that is if you specify no generator, both packages are built.
