DESCRIPTION =========== Ignuit is a memorization aid based on the Leitner flashcard system. It has a GNOME look and feel, a good selection of quiz options, and supports UTF-8. Cards can include embedded audio, images, and mathematical formulae (via LaTeX). It can import and export several file formats, including CSV. Ignuit can be used for both long-term learning and cramming. Ignuit is an official GNU package with a project page at Savannah: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/ignuit/ The most recent version of ignuit is available here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ignuit/ Ignuit's homepage includes a few example flashcard files: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~trmusson/programs.html#ignuit VERSION NUMBERING ================= In ignuit-x.y.z, the 'x.y' part represents the GTK2 version that this ignuit package was developed with. The 'z' part represents ignuit releases since the last 'x.y' change. REQUIREMENTS ============ This version of ignuit was developed using Ubuntu 8.04. To compile it, you'll need the development files for: libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.24.3 libglade-2.0 >= 2.6.4 libxslt >= 1.1.26 gconf-2.0 >= 2.28.1 gstreamer >= 0.10.28 You'll also need: gnome-common gnome-core-devel intltool (>= 0.40.1) http://freshmeat.net/projects/intltool If you'd like LaTeX support, you'll also need dvipng and LaTeX (e.g. the texlive package if you're using Debian, Ubuntu, etc). If you're seeing messages like "[LaTeX render failed]" in Quiz windows, check that you have texlive and dvipng installed. INSTALLATION ============ Please see the file named INSTALL for details. Under GNU/Linux, compilation and installation go something like this: $ cd ignuit-x.y.z $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local $ make $ sudo make install-strip $ make clean If the installation step results in warnings about schemas, try adding the following arguments to ./configure: --disable-schemas-install --disable-scrollkeeper To uninstall it: $ cd ignuit-x.y.z $ sudo make uninstall USING IT ======== The user guide should open when you hit F1 or select "Help" from the "Help" menu. If that doesn't answer your question, please email me (address below). WHAT ELSE? ========== See the TODO file. There are lots of ideas, lots of things I don't know how to do, lots of things I mightn't be able to do without help. If there's anything you're interested in, get in touch!
