eLectrix - a pdf viewer
=======================

Description
-----------
eLectrix is an application to view Portable Document Format (PDF)
files. It also has optional support for the PostScript (PS) format.

The program is written in the C programming language, using GTK+ for
the user interface and poppler for rendering pages. It has been
designed with GNU/Linux in mind, but you might be able to port it to
other operating systems. Note that it is just a hobby project;
eLectrix will never be anything cool or exciting like Evince.

Requirements
------------
To build the program you will need the following libraries with header
files:

  * GTK+ 2
  * cairo
  * poppler with GLib bindings (to view PDF, recommended)
  * libspectre (to view PS, optional)
  * intltool (for native language support, optional)
  * D-Bus with GLib bindings (to run as single instance, optional)

The project uses the build tool Waf. The tool is included in the
source tarball but it requires a Python interpreter to run.

Installation
------------
Procedure:

  ./waf configure
  ./waf build
  ./waf install

The last command has to be run as root if you want to install the
program system-wide.

To view configuration options, run
  
	./waf configure --help
	
To uninstall, run (as root)
  
	./waf uninstall
