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## Download 24 25Installers, binaries and source tarballs are available at https://glogg.bonnefon.org/download.html. 26 27## Requirements 28 29* GCC version 4.8.0 or later 30* Qt libraries (version 5.2.0 or later) 31* Boost "program-options" development libraries 32* Markdown HTML processor (optional, to generate HTML documentation) 33 34glogg version 0.9.X still support older versions of gcc and Qt if you need to 35build on an older platform. 36 37## Building 38 39The build system uses qmake. Building and installation is done this way: 40 41``` 42tar xzf glogg-X.X.X.tar.gz 43cd glogg-X.X.X 44qmake 45make 46make install INSTALL_ROOT=/usr/local (as root if needed) 47``` 48 49`qmake BOOST_PATH=/path/to/boost/` will statically compile the required parts of 50the Boost libraries whose source are found at the specified path. 51The path should be the directory where the tarball from www.boost.org is 52extracted. 53(use this method on Windows or if Boost is not available on the system) 54 55The documentation is built and installed automatically if 'markdown' 56is found. 57 58## Tests 59 60The tests are built using CMake, and require Qt5 and the Google Mocks source. 61 62``` 63cd tests 64mkdir build 65cd build 66export QT_DIR=/path/to/qt/if/non/standard 67export GMOCK_HOME=/path/to/gmock 68cmake .. 69make 70./glogg_tests 71``` 72 73## Contact 74 75Please visit glogg's website: http://glogg.bonnefon.org/ 76 77The development mailing list is hosted at http://groups.google.co.uk/group/glogg-devel 78
