Graphal
Documentation
Development
Graphal was designed to have as less dependencies as possible. Graphal library and Graphal CLI requires only C++ compiler and standard C++ library STL. Source code generation using GNU Bison and Perl can be disabled during build, the repository contains pregenerated source codes. Graphal GUI adds only Qt library and relevant Qt tools to the dependencies.

[woq@evm graphal]$
Graphal was implemented under Debian Lenny GNU/Linux (2008, 2009) and then Debian Squeeze GNU/Linux (2013) operating systems. The application was successfully ported to MS Windows 2000 and MS Windows XP.

The version Qt libraries 4.5 for Windows (167 Mb) (qt-win-opensource-4.5.1-mingw.exe) was used under MS Windows. The installer doesn't set the PATH variable, paths to C:/Qt/4.5.1/bin and C:/MinGW/bin directories have to be added manually. The installer installs whole Qt including the documentation and the code samples, this parts can be deleted to save disk space.
