DrawView is a software that allows users to view Draw files created by the "Draw" RISC OS application and other compatible applications. The software also enables the exporting of drawings to PDF or PostScript format for printing or use in other applications.
In terms of installation, DrawView is built and installed in the same way as most other open-source applications. Users need to download and install the Qt 4 library if it is not already available on their system. Once done, users need to unpack the source archive, change to the source directory, and configure and install the application using the following commands:
$ ./configure [OPTIONS...]
$ make
$ su root -c 'make install'
There are some useful OPTIONS that may need to be given to 'configure', such as the base DIRECTORY for the installation (default is /usr/local), the LOCATION where the Qt 4 library is installed, and whether to install KDE or freedesktop/GNOME desktop integration. Users can use the command 'configure --help' to list other available options.
The software requires QT 4.1.0 or later to run. In the latest release, the Qt library detection was fixed to work on Gentoo and Ubuntu.
Overall, DrawView is a useful software for viewing and exporting Draw files, and its installation process is straightforward for users familiar with open-source applications.
