Suggestion: Build instructions & others

[sbrl]

I've found this and it looks cool, but your README doesn't tell me which operating systems are supported, or how to compile it from source.

Including these instructions & system requirements makes it easier for others to start using your program :smiley:

Hi, {source} supports OS X and Windows. I have bought in the past {source} and it was installed via an installer so unfortunately I can't help you with building instructions.

@beugelaar Ah right. Should the README say that only Windows and Mac are supported? I'm on linux, so if that's true that this won't work.

Hi, yes I think you are right but I have looked further. The app is build with MacGap, a webkit wrapper. It is a XCode project and I have looked quickly but I think you have to build it on a OS X machine using MacGap.

First install MacGap:

gem install macgap

And then build the {source} app:

macgap build myapp // the {source app} i think it is in the public folder -> win/mac

Goodluck, Erik

@beugelaar You have to build on a mac? I don't even know anyone with a mac, so I guess that's that for me using this project then!

Thanks for the help anyway :smiley:

Still, the author really should include build instructions in the README, because otherwise no-one will be able to figure out how to use it!
