It is designed with programmers and 9system administrators in mind and can be seen as a graphical, interactive 10combination of grep and less. 11 12## Main features 13 14* Runs on Unix-like systems, Windows and Mac thanks to Qt 15* Provides a second window showing the result of the current search 16* Reads UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 files 17* Supports grep/egrep like regular expressions 18* Colorizes the log and search results 19* Displays a context view of where in the log the lines of interest are 20* Is fast and reads the file directly from disk, without loading it into memory 21* Is open source, released under the GPL 22 23## Requirements 24 25* GCC version 4.8.0 or later 26* Qt libraries (version 5.2.0 or later) 27* Boost "program-options" development libraries 28* Markdown HTML processor (optional, to generate HTML documentation) 29 30glogg version 0.9.X still support older versions of gcc and Qt if you need to 31build on an older platform. 32 33## Building 34 35The build system uses qmake. Building and installation is done this way: 36 37``` 38tar xzf glogg-X.X.X.tar.gz 39cd glogg-X.X.X 40qmake 41make 42make install INSTALL_ROOT=/usr/local (as root if needed) 43``` 44 45`qmake BOOST_PATH=/path/to/boost/` will statically compile the required parts of 46the Boost libraries whose source are found at the specified path. 47The path should be the directory where the tarball from www.boost.org is 48extracted. 49(use this method on Windows or if Boost is not available on the system) 50 51The documentation is built and installed automatically if 'markdown' 52is found. 53 54## Tests 55 56The tests are built using CMake, and require Qt5 and the Google Mocks source. 57 58``` 59cd tests 60mkdir build 61cd build 62export QT_DIR=/path/to/qt/if/non/standard 63export GMOCK_HOME=/path/to/gmock 64cmake .. 65make 66./glogg_tests 67``` 68 69## Contact 70 71Please visit glogg's website: http://glogg.bonnefon.org/ 72 73The development mailing list is hosted at http://groups.google.co.uk/group/glogg-devel 74
