dutree: README version 0.1.0 (August 1, 2008) `dutree' is an utility to recursively scan directories and summarize disk usage using a tree. Copyright (C) 2008 Christian Lindequist Larsen License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. Building -------- This is an early release mainly targeted at developers who know how to build using a simple Makefile. "Release early, release often," as they say. :) Still the program is fully functional in its current implementation. An improved build environment is planned (check out the TODO file, which is also the roadmap). The program uses several Boost libraries, and therefore depends on Boost. It has been developed and tested using version 1.34.1 of Boost, and GCC version 4.1.2 on Gentoo Linux (x86_64). To build the program simply type "make" in the source folder. You might want to add some optimization, e.g. "-O2" or "-O3" to your CXXFLAGS before making. Run the program by entering "./dutree ". Of course it is convenient to copy the executable to somewhere on your path to have easy access to the program. I hope you will find this useful. The Name `dutree' ----------------- Obviously the name is derived from the tool `du' for reporting disk usage, and `tree' as in e.g. the tool `pstree'. And the output of the program looks much like a combination of the output from these two programs. Unfortunately, because this name is so 'obvious' it is not unique for this program either. Do an Internet search for "dutree", and you will find other similar tools. Feedback and Updates -------------------- Bug reports, feedback, and patches are welcome at A newer version may be available from http://dword.dk/
