Building and installing
-----------------------

In order to get the PulseView source code and build it, run:

 $ git clone git://sigrok.org/pulseview
 $ cd pulseview
 $ cmake .
 $ make

For installing PulseView:

 $ make install

See the following wiki page for more (OS-specific) instructions:

 http://sigrok.org/wiki/Building


Creating a source distribution package
--------------------------------------

In order to build a source package begin with an unconfigured source tree.

 $ mkdir dist
 $ cd dist
 $ cmake ..
 $ make package_source


Generating the manual
---------------------

To generate the HTML manual, you only need Asciidoctor. If you also want
to generate the PDF manual, you need to install asciidoctor-pdf as well
and make it available for execution:

 $ gem install --pre asciidoctor-pdf
 $ export PATH=~/.gem/ruby/2.3.0/bin:$PATH

Then, to build the PulseView manual, run:

 $ make manual

Note: The stylesheet used is a lightly modified version of "Read The Docs"
from the Asciidoctor stylesheet factory:
