If you want to build it, you need Qt4 loaded and setup as your
default Qt or with the appropriate Qt Environment variables set.

+There is now one dependancy, it is qwt. It compiles just fine with
+either qwt-5.0.2 or qwt-5.0.1. If you run the command
+
+ ./build-depkgs-qt-console
+
+It should download and run the appropriate commands to build and install qwt
+for you. The script will download the package into a subdirectory named
+depkgs. Then it will configure, make and install qwt. The installation will
+go into a subdirectory named qwt in the main qt-console directory.
+
To build bat, you simply enter:
qmake
./bat
The qmake command needs to be entered only if you add a new file, in
-which case, you should edit bat.pro and add the new filename
+which case, you should edit bat.pro.in and add the new filename
in the appropriate place. In running qmake, it will build a new
Makefile, and there after, you simply use "make". In fact, providing
you edit bat.pro, doing a "make" will automatically call qmake to
rebuild the Makefile.
-Development status as of 11 Feb 07.
+From the base bacula directory, make Makefiles will generate bat.pro from
+bat.pro.in, so only edit bat.pro.in. It will also overwrite the qt-consoles
+bat.conf file. "make install" will write /etc/bacula/bat.conf. bat.conf can
+include as many director stanza's as you would like in bat.conf. You may use
+this directories bat.conf.example as a template for director stanza's.
-Items implemented:
-- Reads a basic bat.conf (same as documented for the gnome-console
- except that the Font part is unimplemented).
-- Basic main window structure
-- About dialog
-- Quit menu item
-- Connect button will connect to the first Director defined in the conf file.
-- The Director name will appear in the Selection tree followed
- by Console and Restore.
-- Clicking on Console brings forward the console display screen
- (default at startup).
-- Clicking on Restore brings up a brestore page that is not active.
-- The command line is implemented.
-- The status line (below the command line) is implemented.
-- Selection of Font is implemented.
-- The Font and the window size are saved on exit and restored on
- execution of bat.

-Items not implemented:
-- None of the menu items except About, Quit.
-- Nothing on the restore page
-
-Design/implementation considerations:
-- We need to have multiple Directors
-- Each Director should have its own console
-- The Console class needs to be a list or be attached to the
- currently active Director.
-- Need icons in front of the Director.
-- The console page should be in a DockWidget so it can be removed
- from the main window. It is currently in a dock window, but it
- does not remove properly -- more research needed.
-- Need to figure out a good implementation of adding pages and even
- having plugins that load as pages. Currently the page mechanism
- is a bit kludged.
-- moc files should be moved into a subdirectory.
+Development status as of 05/06/07
+Items not implemented:
+- Nothing on the brestore page
+
Design decisions:
- If possible all code for a particular component will be kept in
- and appropriate subdirectory.
+ an appropriate subdirectory.
- All private class variables are named "m_xxx" this makes it very
clear if one is referencing a class variable or a local.
- All signal/slots are connected by explict code (most all are
in main.ui.
Major projects:
-- Implement a restore page that does a directory tree restore selection
- much like wx-console does.
- Implement other restore interfaces such as brestore ...
- Implement a database browser
-- Implement graphical commands that allow updating most aspects of
- the database (i.e. commands for label, update Volume, ...)
- Implement a resource (conf file) browser
- Implement a reports page -- e.g. something similar to bweb
- Implement Qt plugins to add new functionality to bat
- Implement a GUI configuration file editor (something like JBacula).
...

+Partially Done:
+===========================
+- Implement graphical commands that allow updating most aspects of
+ the database (i.e. commands for label, update Volume, ...)
+ still need to be able to edit a pool object
+
+- None of the menu items except About, Select Font, and Quit.
+ Print and save don't do anything, does save need to??

+- Will automatically connnect to the first Director in the
+ conf file. Doesn't know about multiple Directors.
+
+- The Label menu bar item, prints on the shell window what you entered.
+- The Run menu bar item, prints on the console window what you entered.
+- The Restore menu bar item, brings up dialog, then when OK is
+ clicked, it goes on to the next dialog, which is meant to be
+ a tree view, but for the moment does nothing ... It is a bit
+ ugly. Cancelling it should get you back to the normal command prompt.
+
+- Implement a restore page that does a directory tree restore selection
+ much like wx-console does.
+
+Not working:
+- The left selection window and the right window (where the console
+ is) are dockable windows so should be movable once they are properly
+ clicked. Well, they sort of move, but then get stuck. I haven't figured
+ out what is going on, so for the current time, I am implemeting most
+ stuff through dialogs.
