/* * README -- gpm 1.xx * * Copyright 1995-2000 [email protected] (Alessandro Rubini) * Copyright 2001-2012 nico-gpm at schottelius.org (Nico Schottelius) * *******/ The gpm (general purpose mouse) daemon tries to be a useful mouse server for applications running on the Linux console. Its roots are in the "selection" package, by Andrew Haylett, and the original code comes from selection itself. This package is intended as a replacement for "selection", to provide additional facilities. From 0.18 onward gpm supports xterm as well, so you can run mouse-sensitive applications under X, and you can easily write curses applications which support the mouse on both the Linux console and xterm. The xterm code is portable to any U*x flavour (look at sample/README). The first clients have been "The Midnight Commander", by Miguel de Icaza and an emacs library included in this release. Recent dialog distributions and the Jed editor use gpm as well, and the same do several custom applications. If you want to make a patch to gpm, please read doc/HACK_GPM. For additionally documentation and other READMEs have a look into doc/. =========== MAINTENANCE As of 1.19.4, gpm is officially maintained again. Most of the README is written by Alessandro Rubine, only minor changes are made by Nico Schottelius. =========== MAILING LIST The mailing list devoted to gpm is "[email protected]" The list is managed by Mailman and is currently open, so non-subscribers are allowed to post. In order to subscribe to the mailing list, visit http://lists.linux.it/listinfo/gpm or send a message with "subscribe" in its body to [email protected]. For example: echo subscribe | mail [email protected] =========== DOWNLOAD / HOMEPAGE The latest releases can always be found in one of the following place: http://www.nico.schottelius.org/software/gpm/archives/ Mirror: ftp://arcana.linux.it/pub/gpm/ http://www.ar.linux.it/pub/gpm/ The homepage of gpm can be found at http://www.nico.schottelius.org/software/gpm/ You can get the latest development tree of gpm via git: git-clone git://git.schottelius.org/gpm There are three branches available: master: Contains the latest gpm1 code, may be broken. gpm-1-stable: Contains the latest stable source code. gpm-2-dev: Contains work that heads to gpm2. =========== COMPILING AND INSTALLING The package uses autoconf as of 2.12. Use "./autogen.sh && ./configure && make" to compile the gpm suite. To install "make install". This installs everything under the "prefix" directory, which by default is /usr/local. Use "./configure --prefix=/usr" if you want to install under /usr instead of /usr/local. Exectuable files are installed in $(prefix)/bin (except the gpm daemon in $(prefix)/sbin), libraries in $(prefix)/lib, man pages in $(prefix)/man, the lisp library in the proper location for emacs-list files (detected during the "configure" step); info files are installed under $(prefix)/info. If you would like to 'clean'up very tidy, use distclean. Don't forget to use make distclean config! Otherwise there will be no configure script! =========== CONFIGURING Configuration is optional... * You would like to tell emacs to use t-mouse.el when appropriate. Add the following lines to your own .emacs (in your home directory), or in the /usr/lib/emacs/site-lisp/default (if (and (string-match ".*-linux" system-configuration) (not window-system) (or (string-match "linux" (getenv "TERM")) (string-match "con.*" (getenv "TERM")))) (load-library "t-mouse")) * If you want to use gpm-root, copy gpm-root.conf to your /usr/etc directory, test it out and then edit it to suit your feels. * You'd like to name the gpm info file inside /usr/info/dir. Just insert the line * gpm: (gpm.info). A mouse server for the Linux console at the proper place. Note that this is usually automatically performed if you install a package prepared for your own distribution. * To invoke gpm (and gpm-root) at system boot, add something like this to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local /usr/sbin/gpm -t msc -m /dev/tts/0 & /usr/bin/gpm-root & If you are running the new setup of SysVinit, you should better add a "gpm" script in /etc/rc.d/rc.init and install it in your runlevels in the usual way (this is usually included in your distribution as well) You may want to put the mouse server at a higher priority: in this case invoke instead "/usr/bin/nice -n -20 /usr/sbin/gpm -t msc" The program goes to the background by itself, unless it is run with debuging enabled (see the -D option in the documentation). ========== DOCS The directory "./doc" holds the documentation. The release embeds a postscript file, slightly reduced to save paper (doc/gpm2.ps), an info one (doc/gpm.info) and a text-only version (doc/gpmdoc.txt -- but without table of contents, for now). Man pages are automatically extracted from the info file, and are installed with "make install" =========== BUG REPORTS Before sending bug reports, please look at the file "FAQ", which outlines some known problems, and how to deal with them. If your bug isn't fixed by reading there, please report it to me, without getting angry with me if things don't work at first trial (but they usually work). Bug reports are best sent to the gpm mailing list (see above) or to me via email, if you use personal mail please include the string "gpm" somewhere in the subject line. This will help my filters in sorting things out. * When compilation fails I need your kernel version ("uname -a"), the compiler version ("gcc -v") and the library version ("ls -l /lib" or, better "ldd /usr/sbin/gpm"). And the compiler messages, obviously. * When a program hangs or segfaults, please reinvoke the program under strace: strace -tf -o /tmp/trace.gpm gpm -t msc ^^^^^^^^^^ put your true cmdline here. Then send me /tmp/trace.gpm* (they may be one or two files, according to the strace version), and a description of how you reproduce the problem. The last resort is a core dump, but I'll ask it personally if I have real difficulties in tracing out your problem. =========== CREDITS The following people contributed to gpm, in chronological order. This list used to reside in a different file, but it's better for it to stand out in the README Andrew Haylett ([email protected]) donated "selection" to the linux community, so I could get the idea and the code. A few others contributed to selection, but I lost track of their contributions and names. Steven S. Dick ([email protected]) fixed a pair of bugs in early gpm versions.
