Gerd is a GTK module that lets users of any GTK program record and replay events.
The package's source code is easy to compile, and users only need to follow a few simple steps. First, they need to `cd' to the directory that contains the source code and configure the package for their system by typing `./configure'. If they're using `csh' on an old version of System V, they may need to type `sh ./configure' instead to avoid errors. As `configure' runs, it prints messages showing which features it is examining.
Secondly, after the configuration process is complete, the user types `make' to compile the package. However, it is not mandatory, but one can run a self-test that comes with the package by typing `make check'.
After successfully running self-tests, users can proceed to install the programs, data files, and metadata by typing `make install'. This software also allows users to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by using the `make clean' command. To remove the files that `configure' created, users can type `make distclean'.
For developers, there is a maintenance target, `make maintainer-clean,' tailored mainly for package developers. For this, users may have to download other programs to regenerate obsolete files that came with the distribution. Ultimately, Gerd is a helpful software package that is easy to compile, install, and use, and many users are delighted to use it.
