GKmap is a free software designed for Digital Electronics that helps solve design problems through K-Map disclosure.
The installation process of GKmap is quite simple. Firstly, navigate to the directory that contains the package's source code. Once there, you will need to type `./configure' to configure the package for your system. Depending on your computer, running `configure' may take some time. During the run, the package will print certain messages that will tell you which features are being checked for.
Next, type `make' to compile the package. You may also opt to type `make check' in order to run any self-tests that come with the package. Once you have done this, type `make install' to install the programs, data files, and other documentation. In case you need to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, simply type `make clean.'
In case you also want to remove the files that `configure' created so that you can compile the package for a different kind of computer, type `make distclean'. There is a `make maintainer-clean' target as well, but it is mainly intended for the package's developers. If you choose to use it, you may have to get other programs to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
All in all, GKmap is a great tool for anyone who is in the Digital Electronics industry. The installation process may seem a bit lengthy, but it is worth it as the software is quite effective in solving design problems and in analyzing information flow in digital circuits.
