Manage HITs with graphical user interface.
When new HIT is received, it and local HIT is filtered trough configuration GUI, which asks user for accepting the HIT pair. Then HIT is saved into database and accept/reject is returned to daemon. User can also manage HITs trough graphical user interface. The interface is under development, and is quite in alpha state yet.
HIP configuration GUI main window
Usage.
Configuration GUI uses '$HOMEDIR/.hipagent/' -directory to store per user configuration files. There should be atleast 'database' file which contains information about configured local and remote hits and remote groups. Optionally user can create file called 'config'. This file can contain different options to change GUI behaviour. Following paragraphs tell more.
'lang=...' can be used to select one of compiled-in languages. These are currently 'en' and 'fi'. 'en' means english and is default. 'fi' means finnish. If you want to change GUI language to finnish, type line 'lang=fi' into your config-file in .hipagent-dir.
'lang-file=...' can be used to define external language file, which can override some or all compiled-in language strings. This language file should contain lines which are somewhat like this: 'value-name=value'. Example line 'title-main=HIPL Graphical Config' would change GUI main window title to 'HIPL Graphical Config'.
The configuration GUI executable is called "hipagent". You should run it using normal user (non-root) priviledges.
HIP configuration GUI tray icon
Compilation.
To compile HIP configuration GUI atleast following packages are needed (asuming you have debian):
gcc and g++ compilers, both should be at least version 4.0.
Package: xbase-clients - miscellaneous X clients
GTK 2.x and development files for it (Package called libgtk2.0-dev).
Automake 1.9
If you want to use 'system tray' icon, you need atleast 2.10.0 version of GTK.
In order to the configuration GUI start properly with right window and system tray icon, you must first do 'make install' to install the data files in right directory. System tray icon will not be shown at all, if you don't do this.
