GoGui can be invoked with the command:
java -jar gogui.jar [options] [file]
using the file gogui.jar in the
lib subdirectory.
The command line for executing the actual Go program can be given
with the -program option.
Otherwise, GoGui will start with the Go program attached in the previous
session, or without Go program if none was attached.
You can attach and detach a Go program at any time by using the
, and
menu items from the
menu.
See gogui(1) for a complete listing of the possible
command line options to gogui.
For Unix systems, there are launcher scripts in the
bin directory.
The launcher scripts respect the environment variable
GOGUI_JAVA_HOME, if defined, and look for the jar files
in ../lib
relative to the bin directory.
You can add the bin directory of GoGui to your
PATH environment variable.
The invocation is then simply:
gogui [options] [file]
To register GoGui as a handler
for SGF
files, you can configure a new file association for the type
application/x-go-sgf and the file name pattern
*.sgf to execute
gogui.
For Linux systems, there is a shell script install.sh in
the main directory, which will install GoGui on the system, including the
creation of desktop menu entries, entries in the help system, and the
registration as a handler for SGF files. This script needs to be run as root.
On Windows, the Java installation registers Java as a
handler for jar-files and it is possible to launch GoGui by
double-clicking on gogui.jar from a file browser.
You can also drag a link to this file to the desktop.
On Mac OS X, GoGui can be invoked using the UNIX launcher scripts in
the bin directory.
It is also possible to create an application bundle for Mac OS X by typing
ant gogui.app
in the main directory. The resulting application bundle will be in
build/GoGui.app. This requires that the
Ant build system is installed on
the system.
