Installing

To install:

./configure
make
make install

You must be root to do the last step.

if you desire the binary to be somewhere else than /usr/local/bin/blackbook do a

./configure --prefix=/usr

(the default prefix is /usr/local )

Aside from the binary, it will install a couple of icons to <prefix>/share/icons

Using

Run BlackBook with the command: blackbook

You can create and delete pages (tabs) and create and remove entries using the toolbar at the bottom.

To edit or see the details of an entry, double click it.

Known Bugs

• It's quite easy to erase a whole page, and BlackBook does not ask for confirmation (yet). Be careful.
