ct-Bot remote viewer

Summary

This is a very basic remote viewer for the ct-Bot based on the Qt widget toolkit. It is licensed under the terms of the GPLv3 license.

Notice

Consider this as experimental code. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

Setup using pre-build binaries

1. Download release for Linux, macOS or Windows here
2. Prepare and launch...
   • for Linux as AppImage:
     1. Create a local application directory, if not existing: mkdir ~/Applications
     2. Move downloaded application to app directory: mv ~/Downloads/ct-Bot_Viewer_*-x86_64.AppImage ~/Applications/
     3. Make the application executable: chmod +x ~/Applications/ct-Bot_Viewer_*-x86_64.AppImage
     4. Launch the application: ct-Bot_Viewer_X-x86_64.AppImage by double-clicking.
   • for Linux:
     1. Create a directory: mkdir ctbot-viewer
     2. Change to directory: cd ctbot-viewer
     3. Extract the archive there: tar xjf ../ctbot-viewer.tbz2
     4. Launch the application: ./ctbot-viewer
   • for macOS:
     1. Open ctbot-viewer.dmg
     2. Launch the application ctbot-viewer from there by right-clicking on the icon, then select open and confirm with open (you might need to do this twice, because the app is currently built as an unsigned one).
   • for Windows:
     1. Extract the archive ctbot-viewer.zip to a folder.
     2. Launch the application ctbot-viewer.exe by double-clicking.

4. Build with makefile: make
