The only way to download the gnurpgm suite is to use git for downloading it due to it's current developement state.
Once things are better I'm going to provide precompiled packages which you'll just double click'n'go.
source code via "git" - windows
First, you'll have to install the official Qt-SDK from here: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-windows-cpp-offline
(Attention: This download is approx. 1.8 Gigabyte big and will take some time!)
Next, you'll have to install any git client.
For the following instructions we'll use the vanilla git client.
You can download it from here: http://git-scm.com/download/win
Where you actually install the git binaries doesnt matter ("C:\Programm Files (x86)\Git" is just fine).
During the Installation you'll be prompted to select a option that makes git available for the Windows Command Prompt as shown below.
The rest of the setup contains mainly "Clicking Next" tasks. Go for it hero.
The following steps are numbered on the image below to provide you some visual feedback of "waht da hack am i doing here?".
Let's download gnurpgm using git!
- 1) Open up a windows command promt by entering the windows start menu and typin' "cmd" and pressing enter.
This line will already be there with your username instead - 2) Use the command "cd" to change the current directory into where the gnurpgm files shall be downloaded.
- 3) Copy the "git clone ..." line from above and paste it into your command promt by right clicking the window and selecting "paste"
Hit enter and git will start to download everything. - 4) The output between 3) and 4) is git's progress once you see line 4) you're done and can close the commando prompt now.
- 5) Open the folder which you changed into at step 2) and you'll see that it contains a folder named "gnurpgm" now.
Open it an you'll see the same files and folders as shown below (proberbly even more).
Open the gnurpgm.pro file with QtCreator and hit the bottom-left play button.
Depending on your processor the build process might take some minutes and gnurpm will be started afterwards.
