logdiag
=======
'logdiag' is a simple multiplatform schematic editor written in GTK+.
This software is considered to be of alpha quality and isn't recommended for
regular usage.

Packages
--------
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get
a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR, or from
openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions. Consult the
list of repositories and their respective links at:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git
Requirements
------------
Runtime dependencies: GTK+ >= 3.8, json-glib >= 0.10.4, lua = 5.2 +
Build dependencies: CMake >= 2.8
Build from source on Unix-like
------------------------------
First check that you have all the required dependencies installed, including
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.
Using _make install_
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# make install
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.
$ fakeroot cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i logdiag-version-system-arch.deb
Leave out the fakeroot for CMake >= 2.8.9, it's been fixed since.
Build from source on Windows
----------------------------
_Note that with the current method we're stuck with GTK+ 3.10.4 at best._
First install CMake >= 3.1 and MinGW. Add both to your 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 (contact me if the script becomes obsolete,
it's easy to fix but I usually update it only just a short while before
releasing a new version in order to resolve compatibility issues):
> 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.
Cross-compilation for Windows
-----------------------------
The procedure is almost exactly the same as before, including the requirements.
Just install MinGW-w64 and let automation take care of the rest.
$ cmake -P Win32Depends.cmake
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. \
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../ToolchainDebianMinGWW64.cmake \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ cpack
