This is gtk-g-ray2, a tool to access the Wintec WBT-201 from free operating systems.
gtk-g-gray2 v 2.0 and later is somewhat Linux only as it uses udev for device discovery.
For modern systems, with $HOME/.local/bin on $PATH (recommended):
# once, to create the build directory:
meson build --prefix=$HOME/.local --strip
# Build and install
ninja install -C build
Otherwise for a system install, set --prefix=/usr to install in /usr/bin, or omit to install in /user/local/bin.
# once, to create the build directory:
meson build --strip [--prefix=/usr]
# Build
ninja -C build
# Install as root into system directories
sudo ninja -C build install
By default, device names of /dev/ttyUSB0 and "bluetooth" are offered. You can change the devices available by editing the file $HOME/.config/g-rays2/g-rays2rc. Note: gtk-rays-2 creates the file on first run if it does not exist.
e.g.
cat /home/jrh/.config/g-rays2/g-rays2rc
[g-rays2]
devices = /dev/ttyUSB0;/dev/rfcomm0
After the key devices = there is a semi-colon (;) separated list of
possible device names.
e.g.
devices = /dev/ttyUSB0;/dev/ttyUSB1;/dev/ttyUSB2;/dev/rfcomm0;/dev/rfcomm1
Any device name of just "bluetooth" or containing the string "rfcomm" will be cause bluetooth discovery to (try to) find the real device (new in 2.00).
From version 0.99, the preferences dialogue also allows the user to set and modify the serial device list.
Devices must be explicitly defined, a default of /dev/cuaU0 is set by default.
Devices must be explicitly defined, no default is set by default.
The --strip parameter must NOT be given when meson is setup.
Development versions of:
-
gtk+-3
-
libglade
-
cairo
-
gudev
-
bluez
-
meson & ninja
As cairo is a gtk+-3.0 dependency, there is no longer a 'non-cairo` option.
This is somewhat unsupported and offered for legacy / completeness / posterity; Github issues / pull requests will be considered.
