DESCRIPTION =========== PRIMA is a general purpose extensible graphical user interface toolkit with a rich set of standard widgets and an emphasis on 2D image processing tasks. A Perl program using PRIMA looks and behaves identically on X11 and Win32. PREREQUISITES ============= Prima can use several graphic libraries to handle image files. Compiling Prima with at least one library, preferably for GIF files is strongly recommended, because internal library images are stored in GIFs. Support for the following libraries can be compiled in on all platforms: - libXpm - libpng - libjpeg - libungif - libtiff - libX11 - support for native X11 bitmap files For Win32, CPAN contains binary distributions that can be installed just for this purpose: http://search.cpan.org/~karasik/Prima-codecs-win32/ http://search.cpan.org/~karasik/Prima-codecs-win64/ it should work for all MSVC and GCC compilers and for native, cygwin, and mingw/strawberry perl runtimes. SOURCE DISTRIBUTION INSTALLATION ================================ Create a makefile by running Makefile.PL using perl and then run make ( or gmake, or nmake for Win32): perl Makefile.PL make make test make install If 'perl Makefile.PL' fails, the compilation history along with errors can be found in makefile.log. If make fails with message ** No image codecs found that means you don't have image libraries that Prima supports in your path. See PREREQUISITES section. If some of the required libraries or include files can not be found, INC=-I/some/include and LIBS=-L/some/lib semantics should be used to tell Makefile.PL about these. Check ExtUtils::MakeMaker for more. GTK2 ---- Prima can be compiled width GTK2 on unix systems. To do so run perl Makefile.PL WITH_GTK2=1 If successful, Prima will display GTK file dialogs. BINARY DISTRIBUTION INSTALLATION ================================ Available only for MSWin32. Please use installation from source for the other platforms. To install the toolkit from the binary distribution run perl ms_install.pl You have to patch Prima::Config.pm manually if you need to compile prima-dependent modules. USAGE EXAMPLES ============== Try running the toolkit examples, by default installed in INSTALLSITEARCH/Prima/examples directory ( find it by running perl -V:installsitearch ). All examples and programs included into the distribution can be run either by their name or with perl as argument - for example, ..../generic or perl ..../generic . ( perl ..../generic.bat for win32 ) Typical code starts with use Prima qw(Application); and ends with run Prima; which is an event loop call. Start from the following code: use Prima qw(Application Buttons); new Prima::MainWindow( text => 'Hello world!', size => [ 200, 200], )-> insert( Button => centered => 1, text => 'Hello world!', onClick => sub { $::application-> close }, ); run Prima; Or, alternatively, start the VB program, which is the toolkit visual builder. MORE INFORMATION ================ The toolkit contains set of POD files describing its features, and the programming interfaces. Run 'podview Prima' or 'perldoc Prima' command to start with the main manual page. Visit http://www.prima.eu.org/ for the recent versions of the toolkit. You can use cvs update feature to keep in touch. The mailing list on the toolkit is available, you can ask questions there. See the Prima homepage for details.
