QVCDGear is a graphical frontend for the console version of vcdgear (www.vcdgear.com). I've built qvcdgear on Linux, but it would probably compile & run on other unices as well with little or no modifications. The binary supplied is built on a RedHat 7.2 system.
VCDGear v1.6e build 111301 was used for testing.
QVCDGear is written using version 3 of the QT-toolkit (www.trolltech.com). It will not build with QT 2, as some classes used were not introduced until QT 3.
NOTE: As of version 0.8.1, QVCDGear is linked with the multithreaded version of Qt,
qt-mt. This is because the style-plugins in KDE3, which can be applied to
QVCDGear, are compiled with thread-support (*), and linking qt and qt-mt
binaries is not a good idea.
(*) At least in RH and Gentoo, I assume other distros as well. If this is not
the case, QVCDGear needs to be recompiled from source, after removing the
word 'thread' from the CONFIG line in qvcdgear.pro.
To compile qvcdgear you need to have some extra components installed from the QT-package, namely uic, moc, qmake and mkspecs. Whether these components are installed by default or not is distribution-dependent.
QVCDgear if licensed under the GPL. See the COPYING file for details.
Note: This is my first program written in C/C++, so the code is probably pretty horrible. Also, there's not a lot of error checking code yet, so segfaults or hangs might occur if weird input is given.
Feel free to email me if you have feedback, bug-reports or suggestions.
