What is it?

Sorry this isn't more complete at this point. I just wanted to get the configure script stuff released and these files are required :)

Please see the website at http://linux.techass.com/projects/etr for information.

Compiling the source

As of this release, configure (and automake) scripts have been created. This means, under *nix (where wxWindows is supported, anyway) you should just be able to:

./configure

make

make install

Under Windows, Borland C++ 5.0 project files are supplied (which will hopefully convert to later versions). For other compilers (such as VC++, Watcom, etc.) you are on your own, but there is only one source file (etr.cpp) and you should be able to come up with something if you have worked with wxWindows before. I hope to provide makefiles/project files for as many compilers as possible in the future (help would be appreciated).

Installation

Under Linux (or *nix) the configure script will have hopefully worked and you ran "make" and "make install" without problems. If so, you should just be able to run "etr" with X running and it will come up. By default, the executable is installed in "/usr/local/bin", so if that is not in your path you will either have to put in your path, or move the etr executable (or rerun the configure script with a different prefix).

Under Windows, you should put etr.exe in some directory in your path (like c:\windows). Or just create a shortcut on your desktop to where the exe is located. Hopefully, in the near future, I will have an installation program for Windows.

Running

With either Linux (*nix) or Windows you should be able to just run "etr" or "etr <filename>" to bring up the program.

Problems
