General Purpose Classes

Some generally usefull classes; separated in a common part (subdir YGP), designed to be independent of the used operating system or (GUI) library/system and in parts specific to such things (subdirs CGP, Windows, XGP)).

Up to 3 libraries are created (note that you need to generate the documentation, before the links actually work):

libYGP

Consists of generell purpose classes without dependency to the used/installed operating system/required libraries.

libXGP

Classes for the X-windows system; basing on gtkmm/GTK+ (only build when a proper installation of gtkmm is found).

An installed libgtkhtml (part of GNOME), libgtkmozembed (part of Firefox/Mozilla or Webkit (http://webkit.org) enables (fast) displaying the help in a dialog (else a browser is used).

libCGP

Classes to be used with CORBA (only made when a CORBA-implementation (MICO) is found).

At the moment there exists no documentation (as actually hardly any classes).

The whole thing is:

This package is distributed under the GNU General Public License; in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the file COPYING or the GNU homepage (www.gnu.org) for more details.

Installation

Principally according the GNU make system:

  ./configure
  make
  [make check]
  make install

See the file INSTALL for more details.

Examples

Both the CGP and the YGP section contain a Test subdirectory with some files demonstrating the intended usage (though the main purpose is the test of the classes).

The XGP subdirectory has a Samples directory with a sample application.

Structure

YGP

Contains common classes of general interest.

CGP

Classes and other stuff related to CORBA.

Windows

Classes and other stuff related to M$ Windoze.

XGP

Classes and other stuff related to X-windows.

bin

Contains scripts

doc

Documentation. Generate it with make doc in the directory (needs doxygen).

intl

(GNU) Library for I18n

po

Translations of the messages

Depending on your automake version you might also get a m4 and a autom4te.cache directory.

How to report bugs and/or send patches

Bug reports and patches should be send to the e-mail address of the author (me) (g17m0@users.sourceforge.net).

Please include for bugs:

• The version of the library.
• How to reproduce the bug.
• In case of a crash (and if you used the IVIOApplication or XApplication classes) there should also be a stackdump in your system log which might help in localizing the bug.
• Anything else you think might be helpful.

Please note that I don't (can't) check my mails daily, so please be patient.
