What is the Prototyper ? ------------------------ Is a small aplication that launches a network host with a qt gui on its top. It receives an .xml (network definition) and a .ui (qt design) files as arguments How to compile the Prototyper 1. Compile the QtPlugin in CLAM/build/Examples/QtDesignerPlugins $ make depend && make 2. Install QtPlugin in CLAM/build/Examples/QtDesignerPlugins $ make install (no need to be root) 3. Check qt plugins path run qtconfig, Library Paths tab and add /path/to/home/.kde/lib/kde3/plugins 4. Compile and run Prototyper in CLAM/build/Examples/Prototyper $ make depend && make $ ./Prototyper SMSmess.xml SMSmess.ui (for example) How to Create new prototypes ------------------------------ You can open SMSmess.xml with NetworkEditor (CLAM application) and open SMSmess.ui with designer (qt application) to see how qt widgets are binded with elements of a CLAM network. It is basically a matter of writting a name attribute following an easy syntax to refere a port or control of the network.
