# REMIND

Remind is a full-featured calendar/alarm program.  Copying policy is
in the file "COPYRIGHT" included with the source; Remind is licensed under
the GNU General Public License, Vesion 2.

## Prerequisites:

`remind` and `rem2ps` have no prerequisites beyond the standard C library and
the standard math library.

`rem2html` requires the `JSON::MaybeXS` Perl module and `rem2pdf`
requires the `JSON::MaybeXS`, `Pango` and `Cairo` Perl modules.

- On Debian-like systems, these prerequisites may be installed with:

    `apt install libjson-maybexs-perl libpango-perl libcairo-perl`

- On RPM-based systems, you need `perl-Pango`, `perl-Cairo` and
  `perl-JSON-MaybeXS`

- On Gentoo, you need `dev-perl/Pango`, `dev-perl/Cairo` and
  `dev-perl/JSON-MaybeXS`.

- On Arch linux, you need `pango-perl`, `cairo-perl` and `perl-json-maybexs`

TkRemind requires Tcl/Tk and the `tcllib` library.

- On Debian-like systems, install with:

    `apt install tcl tk tcllib`

- On RPM-based systems, you need `tcl`, `tk` and `tcllib`

- On Arch Linux, you need `tk` and `tcllib`.  The latter is available at
  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tcllib

If the little arrows for "Previous Month" and "Next Month" do not display
correctly in TkRemind, you may need to install the Noto Fonts.  Install
all of your distribution's Nonto Font-related packages.

- On Debian-like systems, install with:

    `apt install fonts-noto-core fonts-noto-color-emoji fonts-noto-extra fonts-noto-ui-core fonts-noto-ui-extra`

## Installation

Remind can be installed with the usual:

`./configure && make && make test && sudo make install`

You can edit `custom.h` to configure some aspects of Remind.  Or, if
you have Tcl/Tk installed, you can use the graphical build tool to
edit `custom.h` on your behalf:

`wish ./build.tk`
