This is a very early rather experimental package of FlapFlap. It currently only supports the X11 windowing system and possibly needs some POSIX or BSD stuff (what do I know...). It's running on my Linux box with XFree86 4.2.0 compiled by a GCC 3.0.4. You probably have to have some version 3 of GCC if you're using this compiler.

Building

Currently you need GCC 3 or some other standard compliant C++ compiler. It did compile on GCC 3.0.4 and 3.2.0 although with a sack full of warnings issued by the latter (they are really infentive with new warnings these days). Other than that you need Xlib (the X11 libraries) and Imlib (available via Gnome.
If you have all that you go for the usual autoconf routine.
If you are looking for binaries, I'm sorry, but they don't exist. This stuff is way to hot to this kind'a thing.

Reading

There now is some documentation for the data files. Check out doc/data-format in the tar ball. Don't worry if you don't understand a thing. I didn't either, and I wrote it.

Running

Check out our brand new command line interface. Of course it doesn't follow the official X11 standards but better then hacking the source.

I will not explain it here because xflap (did I mention that this is what falls out of the linker [hopefully] and that you have to run this file?) does that on its own if you ask politely. `xflap --help' will be enough politeness.

There is some stuff to try out in the test directory.
