Xoscope is an advanced software oscilloscope for the Linux desktop, suitable for both
notbooks but also for running on the Raspberry Pi (Audio input).

== Installation guide ==

This guide explains how to build the software from the code. In order to do so,
first install <code>gcc</code>, the build tools and GTK+ devel libraries on your machine.

Then download the sources for https://sourceforge.net/projects/gtkdatabox/

Build with <code>./configure && make && sudo make install</code>. This will install the headers
and <code>so</code> files under <code>/usr/local</code>, which is usually not a default search path. More
on this later.

Next, download the sources for https://sourceforge.net/projects/xoscope/

For me, with <code>xoscope-2.2</code> there was a bug I had to fix manually. Here is the
patch:

<pre>
--- display.c 2021-04-07 15:40:32.357377686 +0200
+++ display.c 2021-04-07 15:40:38.537377400 +0200
@@ -35,7 +35,6 @@
#define DEBUG 0

int triggered = 0; /* whether we've triggered or not */
-void *font;
int math_warning = 0; /* TRUE if math has a problem */

struct signal_stats stats;
</pre>

You can put the snippet in a file <code>thepatch.txt</code> and apply it with
<code>patch display.c < thepatch.txt</code>, or you just remove in line 37 the
void pointer to `*font` by hand.

Build and run with

<pre>
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
./configure
make -j5
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
./xoscope
</pre>

And you're ready to start with data aquisition :-)
