These are installation instructions for Simple Sysexxer


== Requirements ==

You need the following to build, install and run this software:

* A linux driven computer
* ALSA support (see http://www.alsa-project.org)
* The Qt 4 library from www.trolltech.com; this application will *not* compile on Qt 3. Please note that you will not only need the Qt binaries but also the Qt development packages. Most distributions provide a package called Qt4-devel or similar. Please install it.


== Building the binaries ==

After unpacking the source package, open a command line and cd to the directory containing the sources. Invoke the following commands. Please ensure you are using qmake from your Qt4 installation, qmake from Qt3 will *not* do the job. Use which qmake to determine if you got the right one. On a Gentoo box it looks like the following:

which qmake
/usr/qt/4/bin/qmake

Now run qmake:

/usr/qt/4/bin/qmake

Now run make:

make


== First run ==

To run the application directly from here, type

./simplesysexxer

or klick on the binary file


== Installation ==


Copy the binary to a directory which is in your PATH variable. Most often this is done by copying it to /usr/local/bin and making it executable as root:

su
cp ./simplesysexxer /usr/local/bin/
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/simplesysexxer
exit

Some distributions also provide a user specific directory like ~/bin/ so you don't need root privileges to install it. If you cannot access any directory in your PATH, you also can put it anywhere and click on it.

If you want to use some additional features like request commands, you should configure some further things. See the file USAGE for further details.
