Installing Gradint on GNU/Linux systems --------------------------------------- Gradint does not need to be installed, it can just run from the current directory. If you do want to make a system-wide installation (for example if you want to make a package for a GNU/Linux distribution), I suggest doing the following as root: mkdir /usr/share/gradint cp gradint.py /usr/share/gradint/ cd samples/utils for F in *.py *.sh; do DestFile=/usr/bin/gradint-$(echo $F|sed -e 's/\..*//') cp $F $DestFile chmod +x $DestFile done cd ../.. ; rm -rf samples/utils tar -zcf /usr/share/gradint/new-user.tgz \ advanced.txt settings.txt vocab.txt samples cat > /usr/bin/gradint <<EOF #!/bin/bash if ! [ -e "$HOME/gradint" ]; then echo "You will need some prompts and samples in your home directory." echo "Is it OK to unpack an example into $HOME/gradint ?" echo "Ctrl-C to quit or Enter to continue" read echo -n "Unpacking... " mkdir "$HOME/gradint" cd "$HOME/gradint" tar -zxf /usr/share/gradint/new-user.tgz echo "done." echo "Please check the contents of $HOME/gradint" echo "especially the README files." echo "Then you can run gradint again." exit fi cd "$HOME/gradint" python /usr/share/gradint/gradint.py $@ EOF chmod +x /usr/bin/gradint For a distribution you might also have to write man pages and tidy up the help text etc. Depends: python + a sound player (e.g. alsa-utils) Recommends: python-tk python-tksnack sox libsox-fmt-all madplay
