Development
If you want to help us, or if you want to build the
development version, take a look at our
project page
at Source Forge
Requirements
What are the requirements to build the development version ?
- Gnu Autoconf
(version 2.57)
- Gnu Automake
(version 1.6.3)
- a c++ compiler
- gtk+
- libsigc++ (version 1.0.2)
- gtk-- (version 1.2.10)
- glade-- (version 2.0.0.1)
-
gedcom-parse lib
Genes 0.1.1 depends on gedcom-parse 0.13
Genes 0.1.2 depends on gedcom-parse 0.15 or 0.16
Genes 0.1.3 depends on gedcom-parse 0.17 or 0.17.2
Genes 0.1.4 depends on gedcom-parse 0.90.0
The latest development version (from the cvs tree) might need the latest version of the gedcom-parse lib. What I mean is that I try to keep up with the changes in the cvs tree of gedcom-parse. Delivered packages of genes will off course depend on a specific delivered gedcom-parse library version.
How to build
The only thing you have to do is to run the autogen.sh script in the genes subdirectory. Or also:./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/genes-0.1.4
Current features (0.1.4)
- Read from gedcom file (Not all the items, but the most importants can be read)
- Navigate through the list of persons,
- Display a Person
- Display an Event
- Display a Family (+ print to Postscript file)
- Internationalization: English , Dutch
- Writing data to a gedcom file (writing to a test file, because not all the data is written)
Future features (?)
- Update the data using the user interface
- Use "life line report" files for exporting the data.
- Handle the strings in the UTF8 way (see bugreport)
- Improve the parsing of names (see bugreport)
Genes development documentation
- Some example windows from other programs.
