PAddress: A simple address book
- About
- PAddress is a simple address book application. It's written in C++, with the Gtk+ toolkit. It's designed to be simple, but full featured.
Who's responsible for all this:
PAddress was written by Peter Witkop (petew@linuxstart.com), who'd be glad to
hear any feedback, via the mailing list (paddress-list@lists.sourceforge.net)
- Requirements
- To run a binary version (which will be available after version 0.1.0) you will need Gtk+ version 1.2.* (only 1.2.6 has been tested at this point). In order to build PAddress however, you will also need a C++ compiler (and C++ standard library) that supports the standard template library (STL). In particular, the vector class, and a string class that has the <, >, <=. >=, and == operators. This excludes some earlier versions of gcc (egcs version 2.91.66 was used in development). However, since these are template classes, those who cannot build PAddress because of lack of vector, or a suitable string, should still be able to run binary versions.
- Installation
- See this 'INSTALL' file
- Configuration
- The output colors (the color of the label text, data text, and the background color) are all configurable through the Preferences dialog (Edit/Preferences). Several other attributes are configurable through the same dialog, including the tool bar style, and the order in which addresses are sorted. The format in which information is sent the text widget is also configurable, see the "out_format.txt" file in this distribution for information.
