Hello Everyone, I have downloaded the GIFT files from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gift. I tried to find the README.Debian as suggested by Ernesto but did not find the file. What I'm missing? What are the requirements to install GIFT (any C++ software, which platform - windows XP)? Thanks in advance for your help Philip Ernesto Ferrari wrote: Wolfgang Müller wrote:I'm afraid that there is no user manual as such. There are instructions on adding a collection in the GIFT tarball. You can get the GIFT, and this information, from http://www.gnu.org/software/gift/gift.htmlAFAIR there is a stub for a manual which is much older than the current version of the GIFT. Configuring and hacking the GIFT. Can one of the recent newbies tell us what information sources were the most helpful? Ernesto, do you have a timeslice for telling us?Well, I found a very useful resource for getting started quickly with the GIFT in the Debian Package file "README.Debian", which I report here along with some notes of mine: <readme.debian> So in short you could do the following: * mkdir gift-data * cd gift-data * cp /usr/share/libmrml1/gift-config.mrml . <ernesto> This path is where Debian install gift-config.mrml, if you compile from scratch it is under GIFTServer/gift-config/gift-config.mrml in the source directory </ernesto> * export GIFT_HOME=`pwd` <ernesto> do you a favour and set the GIFT_HOME variable in your .bashrc </ernesto> * gift-add-collection.pl /path/to/your/huge/collection/of/images <ernesto> if you want to test your installation with the Client.php script issue the following: gift-add-collection.pl --image-directory=/path/to/your/huge/collection/of/images --url-prefix=http://hostname/images --thumbnail-url-prefix=http://hostname/images_thumbnails --collection-name=a_name_for_your_collection Configure your webserver so that http://hostname/images points to /path/to/your/huge/collection/of/images on the filesystem: if you don't want to configure your webserver just make a link named "images" under the web server's DocumentRoot directory. </ernesto> * gift & # and hope it runs * gunzip < /usr/share/doc/gnuift/examples/Client.php.gz > \ /path/to/a/webserver/accessible/directory/Client.php <ernesto> The Client.php which comes in Debian doesn't work (at least for me), so here is the one which works (at least for me): http://www.computer-visions.org/dl/Client.php.gz </ernesto> * access the url with a browser and enter the host where gift is running * be happy </readme.debian> Philip, all of the above presume an already compiled/installed GIFT, if this is not the case let us know and we'll guide you through this.
