Gigolo ^^^^^^ About ===== Gigolo is a frontend to easily manage connections to local and remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs. It allows you to quickly connect/mount a remote filesystem and manage bookmarks of such. GVfs is an userspace virtual filesystem and the successor of GnomeVfs but doesn't depend on Gnome itself. It only requires a recent GLib version and a properly setup DBus system. Then it provides almost transparent access to remote resources like FTP or SFTP (SSH) connections, SMB (windows shares) or special resources like the Trash (trash://), Burn (burn://) or even accessing your digital photo camera (gphoto2://). Requirements ============ For compiling Gigolo, you will need the GTK (>= 2.12.0) libraries and header files. You will also need its dependency libraries and header files, such as Pango, Cairo, Glib and ATK. All these files are available at http://www.gtk.org. Furthermore you need, of course, a C compiler as well as the intltool package. Installation ============ If you have all the above listed requirements installed on your system, building the code is easy: Run the following commands:: $ ./configure $ make (maybe as root) % make install If there is no configure script, you probably need to run:: $ ./autogen.sh in the source directory before Usage ===== You can start Gigolo in the following ways: * From the Desktop Environment menu: Choose in your application menu of your used Desktop Environment: System --> Gigolo. * From the command line: To start Gigolo from a command line, type the following and press Return:: $ gigolo * To get a list of available command line options, run:: $ gigolo --help License ======= Gigolo is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; version 2 of the license.
