Installing the package

Most people will want this. Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list at the bottom:


# Hankzilla
deb http://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/~hardwarehank/deb binary/

Then run a sudo apt-get update. Then install it with sudo apt-get install wxwaste. Run it with waste.

Building from source

Get it
Install some dependencies:


# Checkinstall is optional, but it makes it nice since removal is just thru apt.
sudo apt-get install wx-common libwxgtk2.6-dev wx2.6-headers checkinstall

Unpack the source, then ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall
Add a nice menu listing:


# Put this in /usr/share/applications/waste.desktop
