3. System requirements
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
YFKlog was developed on Mandrake Linux 9.2, Debian Sarge
|
||
|
|
and FreeBSD 5.3 with Perl v5.8.5.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It requires the Perl modules:
|
||
|
|
(- strict)
|
||
|
|
- DBI - Database
|
||
|
|
- Curses - console screen handling
|
||
|
|
- Net::FTP - upload of searchable onlinelog
|
||
|
|
- POSIX - acos() function for distance and direction
|
||
|
|
- Hamlib - optional for Hamlib.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The database can either be SQLite3 or MySQL. SQLite is probably the better
|
||
|
|
and easier choice for most users. See 'INSTALL' and the manual for hints to set
|
||
|
|
up YFKlog.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For generating QSL-labels, pdflatex with the 'geometry' package is
|
||
|
|
needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
YFKlog was designed to run in a console with 80x24 characters.
