On page 9 of the current issue of QL Today, where the commands to build a subversion repository of my QStripper program's source code, everything has been put on one line. At the top of column two on page 9, it should read as follows:
cd src mkdir qstripper cd qstripper svn checkout http://qstripper.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qstripper ./ Then, below paragraph two, the instructions to build the program are also on a single line. They should read as follows: qmake -makefile make The latest news is that since I posted the original email to ql-users, I have created a download package to save people having to install subversion. To obtain the source, proceed as follows: Go to http://qstripper.sourceforge.net/ in your favourite browser, or use Internet Explorer if you absolutely must! On the left of the screen, click the 'Download QStripper files' link. On the following screen, click on any of the links, but the 'download' one makes most sense to click! Finally, click on the qStripperSourceRelease.zip link. When prompted to open or save the file, choose save and save it to a location on your PC. The file is 103 KB in size so shouldn't take too long to download, even on dial-up links. The file can be saved to Windows or Linux as desired - the same source code works on both. You will need the QT4 development system to compile and build the source of course. The commands to build the source are as shown above : cd qStripperSourceRelease qmake -makefile make To run it, simply type QStripper on Windows or ./QStripper on Linux - or, double click on the program name in Windows Explorer or whatever file manager you are using on Linux. Hopefully, soon, I'll have a binary build for both Windows and Linux available for download for those people not able or willing to install a QT4 development system on their PC simply to build and run my program. To those very interested in a cross platform development system for free, may I suggest you check out and download QT4.5 from http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads. Select LGPL/Free Downloads and then select the Windows or Linux version desired (Don't click on the word 'torrent' though!) These are quite large downloads (269 Mb for Linux and 194 MB for Windows) but the effort is well worth it. Cheers, Norman. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
