INSTALL ======= Author: Mike Bennett (smoog at stressbunny dot com) Last Update: 24/04/2001 Contents -------- 1. Installation & Compiling 2. Using wayV 3. Requirements 4. Important Notes Installation ------------ 1. ./configure 2. make 3. make install IF YOU'RE ALREADY USING wayV AND HAVE EDITED wayv.conf MAKE SURE AND BACKUP A COPY OF YOUR VERSION!!!! (see the file UPGRADING for more information) 4. look at doc/trained-gestures.jpg to see what gestures wayV is setup to recognize 5. wayV's two configuration files, wayv.conf and DEFAULT.wkey, are installed in /usr/local/share but it is possible to specify a different directory 6. to start wayV run the program wayv (by default installed in /usr/local/bin) NOTE: If configure doesn't find XExtension and XTest you won't be able to send keypress' via wayV Using ----- Hold down the activation button (by default mouse button 2) and key(s) (see doc/HOWTO-wayv-config for further information) and move the mouse around. When the button and key(s) are released look at the xterm wayV is running in. You'll see a grid filled in with 0s and 1s. The 1s should indicate the path followed by the mouse. If display output is turned on when you press the activation button and key(s) a white border will appear around the screen - with the path followed by the mouse highlighted in various colours. NOTE: When you're inputting a gesture, if the display is on, its best to wait till the white border appears before doing the gesture. Requirements ------------ 1. A flavour of Unix (development occurs mainly on Linux and earlier versions were tested under Solaris and FreeBSD) 2. Running X server with a pointer, e.g. a mouse, trackball, etc 3. gcc and X libraries 4. make, gcc, autoconf, install - all the usual Optional: 1. X server that supports X extension 2. X server that supports XTest (for sending fake keypress events) Important Notes --------------- 1. There aren't many default actions associated with the gestures, if you draw a C Xcalc should start (presuming its in your path). Have a look at the file src/wayv.conf, specifically the Action sub-sections. Read doc/HOW-wayv-config to learn how to setup other actions. 2. Have a look at wayv.conf, specifically the Launch value, if its M1 then mouse button 1 is the activation key, if its M2 then its mouse button 2 and if its M3 then its mouse button 3, etc. 3. If the full screen input display is on and you press the activation button(s) WAIT till the white border FULLY appears before drawing a gesture. 4. Make sure the main configuration file wayv.conf and DEFAULT.wkey are in the default directory (usually /usr/local/share) or else specific where to find them on command line when starting wayV, e.g. wayv /etc/wayv.conf
